Thanks for pointing out one of my faults, i'll try to eliminate Huh from my vocabulary...it will be hard though when you've used it for so long.

:) Won't say it lol...

Ehhh, sometimes the hearing impaired
or those with lack of understanding
the intended message use it for lack
of a better term...

My term is "excuse me?"

So laughing though darlin'
So good to see you back

Love and Light

It's good to see you ranting again! I think you know me, and you know that my mind is full of ideas and thoughts that I want to put down on paper and I keep mulling them around in my mind until someone says something to me that my subconscious discoverers and I say, �Huh," Not in disrespect, but truly not hearing. I've told people to get my attention first before telling me something, and then I will hear it clearly.

Looking at it another way, when you walk up on someone who is thinking and say something to them without getting their attention first, you disrespect their thoughts when you want them to hear you above what their thinking at the time. Finally, if someone glazes over when you are talking to them, you are probably repeating yourself or just being so boring and long-winded that they wish you would stop. Instead of getting in a huff over it, you should realize it's time to stop talking and start listening.

Round here we might ask, "whatjusay?
Just like we say "Jeet yet?" "No, Ju?"
We are proud coalcrackers, youse should know!

Other than that, let me say I'm very glad you are doing so much better that you can complain a bit in rhyme. Welcome back! Stay well now, ok?
