Poirot

"Just in passing....it's interesting how the genders approach each other in a discussion." I thought you would of got the chimp joke, but never mind:) but just to stop you from having aneurysm, the post was one of a neutral but thought provoking satire with a humorous climax with NO particular intent and placed in a non-productive non-assertive way:)

Iam afraid Mr yabby is right, and one of OUG,s links seems to very true with the over-analysing of everything, and females are the number one instigators of the breaches of the verbal Morality code not only in the domestic dwelling but in the classroom as it is here.

But then again....OUG motives on most things comes under the conspiracies flag of truth.......So YEAH:) try and relax....and no red wine:)

Well....having analysed all of your responses, I've come to the conclusion that I'm inclined to be a tad over-analytical.

I'm considering embarking on a strict regime of commercial telly (and red wine) - that should cure it : )

Dear Yabby,

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye.

Poirot, I think you could be right about BLU, even if he won't admit
it.

As for the rest, just be yourself, as you feel content. If others
don't like it, well too bad.

Personally I think its just how the genes panned out at conception.
Even as a little kid, I was always asking why, driving mommy
nuts.

Mind you, when she lists my bad points, I remind her that it is
all her fault. I was an innocent little tadpole, swimming along
minding my own business :)

Oh lexi, tis,tis,tis,..and Poirot, I mean...how much more blood were you going to drain out of this thread? Great read, No doubt about it, and Yabby...Ive been 10 dif I,D,s since:)( "to delete and start again is not against the rules") Have you all noticed, that I come in at the end of posts? Remember! all work and No play make for dried up old fools:) Oh and lexi.....I used to be an assistant self-defence instructor, and I kid you not:)See lexi, all humans bleed, hurt, and die just the same as I do, so whats there to fear? Be nice! Your one of the greats here.

I will try not to bother you all too much in the future.

On creativity, I have often found myself in a similar position to ( I think) James Thurber (or was it Huxley?) when he said -words to the effect of:
The hardest thing about being a writer is convincing my wife that, when I am seated in my most comfortable chair, drawing ruminatively on my favourite pipe and staring vacantly through the window, that I am actually working very very hard.
On the question of 'instinct', the single word which unites all life on Earth is "more". From uni cellular animals endlessly busy to the famous goat/sheep/cow with it's head stuck in the fence, to the pensioner or dole recipient who can 'almost get it together; just another $10 or $20, and why do people need to earn 12 million dollars a year? Why don't they just retire after a month?
Of course the mega rich movie stars and producers can blame their muse; it's their creativity which drives them on...
Sci Fi writer Clifford Simak, many years ago proposed an experiment; giving a colony of ants everything it needed so the colony had maximum leisure time. After a while, smoke started coming out of the tiny chimneys...
I fear people today have less and less time to be creative.
