So far I haven't posted anything. Sad, huh? This is a hard but necessary discipline for us verbosites! I'll pray for you, if you pray for me. In keeping with your 5 guidelines, we could just mention each other's names because God can probably figure out the rest. Deal?

Hee. But It's ok to use big words. Language should be used and you don't want to fall into the trap of censorship ;) And no one knows if you're talking to yourself as long as no one's around.

However, to your friends, your opinions (while not always mutually agreed with) are welcome and provide ample fodder for a good conversation.
