  1. Delightful.

    I was beginning to think that movie was entirely my imagination, so few people caught my references to it.

  5. lol...now I am, but wasn’t when I wrote it.

    Yes, there is a back story, but this post was the closest I could get there, without going over.

  7. Mum (or in my case gross ignorance) is the word.

    Are you following the “discussion” on the Marilyn page as well?  I feel like I’m talking to a wall.

  9. Are you following the “discussion” on the Marilyn page as well?

    No.  I don’t even know what that is.  I spend very little time these days on blogs/sites that aren’t our own.  I have enough trouble keeping-up there, let alone wandering out into the wilderness, where I’m likely to get a) Mad, b) Cold and lost.

  11. I’m trying very hard to be patient, civil, and logical.  They’re ignoring me.  smile

    Your time comment is interesting.  I’m just the same way.  I have worn a deep rut in a warm, comfortable, and smallish corner of the internet.

    I like it that way.

  13. Dennis Prager uses a similar philosophy on his radio show.  When confronted with a caller or interviewee who repeated ignores his points or seemingly is not listening to him, he will then just help them to whittle their point down to a concise statement or two.  Prager will often state that he prefers clarity over agreement.

    I’ve started to do the same thing.  When I talking to someone who just refuses to listen to me, I’ll just try to restate their position and have them help me to understand it.  I may not agree with it, but at least we will know where each other stands (or at least I’ll know where they stand, I can’t make them listen to me).
