Hey Foxy,
Thanks for the info regards stamps and Christmas cards.
I think I'm going to have to ask my mum about the ones I'm thinking of.
I've got 'Roald Dahl' stuck in my head for some reason, but I'm not sure that's the right person.

I just don't recall seeing the particular Christmas cards I remember from the 80's for a long time.
There's no way anyone in Australia would not remember those cards as they were very common at the time.

Well I can tell you, I won't be licking the backs of any of those stamps.

mhaze,

Now days - stamps no longer have to be licked.

Neither do envelopes.

You only have to worry about choosing appropriate
packaging for your parcels and making sure that
they're tightly and safely sealed. The post office
staff can help you with that.

Foxy,

You just can't help yourself. Mhaze knows that he doesn't need to lick stamps. You might have missed my last message to you because the thread was moved out by a new one.

"I am not trying to demean your opinion; opinions are like backsides, everyone has one. But you are making sweeping statements claiming qualifications you simply do not have. You are no more qualified to hand down findings on American politics than anyone else. Even if living in America helped, which it does not - we are only talking about opinions here - you have no proof that you have been anywhere near America - ever. Who cares. You are not harming anyone with your claims, real or imaginary. But, I assure you, you are no better equipped to express opinions than anyone else on this site; and everyone else thinks their opinion is more valid than yours. Get used to it. And believe me, lady, I am in a position to "judge" you - if you feel you are being judged. And judging you is not being 'uncivil'. I'll judge anyone I choose to judge, based on what they say and how they say it; and I am sure other people do the same with me and everyone else. Judging people and situations is a vital component of survival - and it's OK to do it just because you want to. Madam Foxy doesn't make the rules. Short of abuse and bad language, anything goes, until our coordinator says otherwise. And, don't you dare call me a bully. That's something you do a good job of yourself, relying on your gender to get a free pass from a few of the old goofs here who sometimes ovederdo the 'gentleman' bit. Ooh, sexism. Off with his head!

I know lots of non-Left women out there who don't feel it's necessary to nag and nag if someone disagrees with them; they don't need to win every argument going. Why can't we have some of them? Perhaps you are frightening them off with your particular brand of bullying."

ttbn,

I don't make sweeping statements. I make statements
based on evidence and facts that can be verified.

As to where I've lived, worked, traveled,
my qualifications, experiences, or anything
else about me? And what you choose to believe
is out of my control.

You display your ignorance and
bigotry, in making narrow, limited assumptions based
on your own small mindedness and narrow world views.
Therefore you are in no position to judge either me
or anyone else for that matter. Comparing anyone
else to yourself and your own experiences is very
limiting and one-eyed. However, it's a typical
trait of older uneducated men.

But there's no need for you to be jealous and envious
of other people. You too can be a "know it all".

A good place to start for you would be to try reading
something other than just sources like the catallaxy Files or
Bill Muehlenburg and his culture watch.

Broadening your outlook may help. All though I suspect
you're too set in your ways to change.

cont'd ...

Your monkey-like behaviour of throwing faeces
is not a very good look. It's neither intelligent
nor attractive.

Monkeys belong in zoos not discussion forums.
