Do I write about Jessica Simpson's baby in a bikini, or the breast feeding professor, or both? Your toaster post was GRREAATT!, speaking of tigers. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468655681800817415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422383139355516259.post-85777977939309639102012-09-14T15:26:14.434-07:002012-09-14T15:26:14.434-07:00Hi Elaine!

Drama, daring, and emotion are better than bland most days, indeed. <br />Calling me funny is one of the most flattering compliments I can think of, so thanks, I needed that!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468655681800817415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422383139355516259.post-20079737367161836972012-09-14T08:41:32.522-07:002012-09-14T08:41:32.522-07:00Glad to read the stimulating discourse on NICE. D...Glad to read the stimulating discourse on NICE. Don't like NICE, but I do like people who are - at times. When I ask Allan a question about something and he uses words like 'fine' or 'nice' in his answer, I usually probe. He hates being probed, so now he tries to be more descriptive. Overall, I think the word NICE is neutral, bland, a bit positive, but lacks drama, daring and emotion. You are more than nice, as you are interesting, sensitive and funny. So there!!!Nurse Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11150885550865543802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422383139355516259.post-10115822382593295432012-09-14T08:20:20.971-07:002012-09-14T08:20:20.971-07:00Loved it then, love it now!

And I think that you are a very "nice" person. And just for Graciewilde, I am feeling just "fine" today. :)<br /><br />Much hugs to you, Amiga!<br />~VirginiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422383139355516259.post-23584775843106023002012-09-13T08:35:15.650-07:002012-09-13T08:35:15.650-07:00Ha-ha--words do go in and out of fashion.

"Small talk" sometimes isn't small at all!<br />Mostly I just say "fine," but sometimes I rebel and say "Fantabulous" or something equally nonsensical.<br />I've been reading your blog all along-- I think of you out riding your bike and painting those great works. I adore your art!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468655681800817415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422383139355516259.post-26194011430893059472012-09-12T20:45:42.612-07:002012-09-12T20:45:42.612-07:00Melanie!

Yes, the word nice was beaten out of me long ago as well - too blah, too nothing, they said (and, as you know, said is too blah, too nothing too!).<br />Somehow this reminds me of the word fine - as in, how are you? I'm fine. That seems to be not okay anymore. You can't be fine. You need to be SUPER. or FANTASTIC, or AWESOME. I want to be fine, as in my life is good.... yes, I have ups and downs and my heard hurts but really? really? I'm fine.Graciewildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00142582724233027386noreply@blogger.com
