    What happened to the “zero teacrlnoe” rules in schools? Those nails are dangerous, could put out somebody’s eye. I may be an Aspie, but I know that anyone clicking their nails on a desk is actually attempting to assert their authority, just as keeping you waiting before being allowed entrance to their office. I’ve made a stink about that second trick a couple of times. A appointment is an appointment, and I don’t have to wait 15 minutes in the lobby cooling my heels, as if I were some kid in trouble waiting to see the Principal!

    Virginia, I am loinvg you and your labyrinth writings and to hear your voice after all this time is heart warming. Then again, by not reading the text or listening to your words, I simply observed your lyrical lines, lace like delicate textures and resulting feminine forms and heard what you had to say with my eyes. Your message reminds me to continue to flow like a river
