...for the photo you did for Mellified Man
That obviously took a bit of thought and I really appreciate it. As a small thank you in return, may I give you a quote?
"To a dog, we are all Napoleon. Which perhaps explains the popularity of dogs."
Thank you

Well you are quite welcome! You're quite right, that didn't just pop right into my head. How on earth did you ever learn all that? Do you have shamans for uncles by any chance?
I love the quote! May I add it to the list then? Do you know who might have authored it? Is it your own?
Check in from time to time, if you'd like. Don't be a stranger!
Thank you

Unfortunately, I have a head full of useless trivia
The quote was from memory. I'e just checked and it should read "To his dog, every man is Napoleon; hence the constant popularity of dogs."
I wasn't far off. Not mine though, it was by Aldous Huxley.
Thank you

Yes, I always thought it funny that I can't remember what I've had for breakfast but I can tell you the phone number of the house I live in as a teenager, long torn down. I know more about the banana plant than my bank account.
I'll add the line to the list then. Sometimes names amuse me. Don't you think Aldous sounds like an adjective?
Judging by my last comment, it must be getting late. Let's see, yes, I've been up since 5, and it's past 10. Time to think about retiring, I guess.
Key: Complain about this post
Thank you
