I have had positive responses to most of my questions as a newcomber and believe that I am capable to handling my communication with manners and only the best intentions - I do not feel the need for a lesson on how to behave on this thread. I value the friendships and am naturally curious as I am observant. I make my "tongue in cheek" comments (my reference to political correctness) clear by adding :-). I respect all of mankind, including those that take life very seriously and totally lack a sense of humour - we each have our place. It is not in my nature to impose myself on others. I am here to enjoy. Have a great day.
