Thanks, Henry, I take your point....
about KIVAFriends conversations not
Always having to be about Kiva....
Me having acted like I thought that
may just be a reflection of my having started to feel
somewhat
-- how about, like totally-out-of-control APPALLED, at
how much time I've been spending in front of this (little computer)
machine in the last couple of months -- ever since I discovered KIVAFriends.
If I tell myself I'm writing about Kiva-related things,
I get to delude myself that I'm doing something "serious"

and not something time-screwing-around-frivolous,
which is how I spend a lot of my other time.

Very silly, I know.
You'd think that that was my Protestant/Puritan work ethic kicking in,
except that I'm Jewish....
The fact is, because I have such a strange mind, anyway,
that sees and makes connections between the oddest things,
that same mind seems
able to connect Kiva with everything else in the world, anyway,so I find my own answer to my silly dilemma.
Anyway, the reason I came here at 5 something, this morning,
was to grab the URL/address of this thread, because I was planning
on diverting the conversation
I started on Tennessee, especially, Memphis Barbecue
to this thread and away from the
Mark Agwonah, We Hardly Knew Ye thread
http://www.kivafriends.org/index.php/topic,728.0.htmlwhere that conversation has taken on a life of its own.
