OK , you two . You are establishing my credentials
as a commanding vine presence . Now I'm starting to
wonder what would happen if I actually posted my bio .
nsz...your wish is my command (unless i choose otherwise, lol)....comment offered to you by Twix, Goodyear Tires, and Yoo-Hoo!!! :)
Hey nSZ,
I read your Bio; your wish is my command, so am leaving you a message! I think you are a very successful anecdote; you showed me the value in turning 'silly and stupid' into 'humorous and not important'. Thank you!! You are a thought-provoking and interesting addition to the Vine. I hope our paths continue to cross!

Hi Neenie ,
I admit it ; I am amazed . You are the first to
" fall for " that trick . Thanks .
It is better to be " a little stitious " than a lot .
Hi kjpxxx ,
How did we become friends ? It must have been something
I said . That is how it usually happens .
So far I have been friended more than defriended
from what I say . Knock wood .
I clicked on it. I read it. You should be amazed now. I'm a little stitious.
I try and read some posts from all on my 'friends list' and I am curious how you and I became Friends? Not to say I do not enjoy reading your posts,it is that there is so much testosterone and I get in trouble ,big trouble,when I venture out of my comfort zone. Your column helps round out some of my edges.. I enjoy your posts,but if you do not see alot of comments, do not think I ignore you..I do not. It is safer for me to read and vote and leave...I'm a weenie,of sorts...kjpxxx

Perrie ,
I want to thank you for many things ,
the least of which is your exuberant
comment . I have learned a lot being
around you while you "do your thing ".
Keep up the good work .
NSZ,
You have added so much to my life here on and off the vine. You are an intelligent and witty friend who always keeps me on my toes. Life is never boring when you are around!
Your friend,
Perrie— Perrie
Thanks Lady K for your encouraging words .
Hi nonStitiousZealot! I see nothing wrong with the articles you chose. They're informative and useful, with practical/helpful tags. Personally, I tend to shy away from politics as they're considerably divisive. However, if you're into politics, more power to you! I'm sorry if I can't offer any helpful suggestions, but I"d say keep on doing what you're doing! And write that article! Good luck. :)
