What is really unfortunate is that someone that is NOT retired and posts to a Usenet group, would have the balls to criticize others for doing the same. He has amazing effrontery to suggest how others live their lives. My suggestion to him is to mind his own business....but he won't. bk

Find my post, show everyone here where I said it was your wife. BTW, since you are into explaining the sublime....explain this: "Hey Greg, How's the Punchbowl?" Come on now, let everyone know about it....in the fairness of full disclosure. Or, shall you slip out of that because it's insulting to YOU? Tex

Speaking of LIES...here's a post (started BY GREG)....referencing his wife...with HIS comment about HER. http://groups.google.com/group/rec.sport.golf/msg/ed02958781be5a5f?dmode=source I know that's gotta hurt Greg....you always ask for "CITE"....ZAP. CITED. Tex Now where's that Punchbowl?

As stated previously, nobody connected the initial comment to your wife. I say post a link so we can view the wife and decide for ourselves if she indeed is a trophy. |
