: Whenever two people meet there are really six people present. There is each man as he sees himself, each man as the other person sees him, and each man as he really is.
: (William James, American Psychologist & Philosopher, 1842-1910)
: NB I believe this to be true, except in the case of certain Mohicanites.....where 6-24 persons may be present.....right, Miss Marcia, MMMMarcia, Sassy, G2K Bug, Miss Paddletale......?

*loud sounds of arguing and squabbling*
"She's talkin' to ME, doncha know! Keep quiet so's I kin reply!!"
"YOU keep quiet, Sassy. Who died and made YOU boss?"
"Squawksquawk!! That's right, G2K...quack-ack-ack...she's not boss, squarkle, squawkle...*I'M* boss!!! quackquackquack!"
"Now, Miss Paddletale, y'all know I'm very RE-fined and genteel and all, and I hate to be rude to a cute little duckie like y'all are, BUT...you really don't have the WITS to be boss of ANYTHING, doncha know. Surely, I'M the one who should respond to Huggy's message today? After all, I AM the proprietor of Miss Marcia's DownHome Kitchen. Anybody want some fuu-uuuuudge?"
"SHADDUP, ALL OF YOU!!! A person can't hear themselves THINK when you all start showing yourselves at once!!! There's no dadblamed room in my brain for thoughts of my OWN any more. I hate to start using terms like THERAPY or PSYCHIATRY in your presence(s), you all being such integral parts of my persona an' everything...BUT...if you all show up at once like this EVER AGAIN, I may have to resort to SHOCK treatment to get rid of you! Now...I have work to do today OUTSIDE of Mohicanland (yes, there IS an alternate universe out there called the REAL world!) so I need you all to go back to sleep, so that I, MMMMarcia, can get busy earning a living!!
*sssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh*
Whew. I think they're gone for the nonce, Huggy...and as you can probably tell, I'm in agreement with your sentiments, entirely.
Now, WE are OUTTA here!
Love,
The Gangs of Mohicanland
(a soon-to-be-released film, starring a cast of characters too weird and bizarre to discuss this morning. More on that subject at a later date!)
