" Les, how do we know when you are being sarcastic, ironic , or trying to be funny? You keep such a straight face and you won’t give us a clue by using emoticons. I have gone back and amended my last post to indicate that I was trying to be funny. "
I would have thought that it should generally be quite obvious when I am being sarcastic, ironic , or just trying to be funny however if there is the slightest hesitation from the reader ( is this clown actually being serious? ) then that just adds to the amusement or at least to my amusement.
" I am confused by three things
What you mean by pseudo?: Is it one of these google definitions
What do you mean by girlfriend? I have a friend, she is a woman, a very fine woman but this is a girlfriend
What would she agree with? That you are a genuine honourable person and mean what you say when you are not being sarcastic or trying to be funny. It is not contested, even I would agree."
By pseudo, I mean sham, for quite a while now, Penny & I have been flirting outrageously with eachother, for our own amusement & although at times we carried on like a couple of love struck teenagers, it was always in jest & never taken seriously although I always had the thought in the back of my mind, who knows what this harmless flirting could lead to.
Then Karen came into my life which I immediately revealed to Penny & as you would expect from such a gracious lady, her first response was to wish me all the best.
I fully intend to continue my flirtatious banter with Pen who will always be the first girl , lady , special friend that I have met on the internet.
" What would she agree with? "
I'll let Pen answer that one.
In summary, Les, if I have got up your nose with a bit of rubbish, I am not going to apologise because of the rule you have just stated, if you are a mate , you will cop it.
Jack,
The last thing that I expected or was looking for from you was an apology, i'm quite prepared to cop a bit of flak but be assured, i'll quickly give it back.
Penny & i just connected, to her, i found it was very easy to relate.
Jack, i think i have the same connection with you, a genuine mate.
