Yes, Carol; I agree! How ridiculous: telling you to not act too smart because boys won't like you!!!! It's that sort of nonsense that's made men worse with their interactions with women!!

Excellent Post, Caya! Once again, I say, that sadly too many men have taken too many liberties with women over all the centuries!!

I agree, Arcadia; but a lot of Males do seem to have a bad attitude with regards to Females, sadly.

Well said, Carol; I agree.

Yes, my choice would be JEREMY BRETT, as SHERLOCK HOLMES; although, of course, BASIL RATHBONE was very good!

So who do you think was the best SHERLOCK HOLMES: BASIL RATHBONE, or JEREMY BRETT?

Men should be taught to have more respect for girls and women; and they should be taught this from when they are little boys! They should be taught this, by their parents, and by their teachers at school.

Hi again, Artemis, Yes, this does sound like a very difficult situation for you, and once again: I'm sorry that you're going through it. The only thing we can hope; is that your Dad will "get better" soon, and go back to his place.

Hi Artemis, I'm so sorry that you're going through all of this! What did your Dad say to you, when you sat him down and explained to him how you felt and what you needed?

Hi Arcadia, I'm so sad and sorry to hear of your losses; that's terrible; I'm glad that you've got a new kitty now, and yes; our pets love bossing us around; don't they!! Douglas

Yes; I know what you mean, and I agree, Van Buren Supernova; it is disheartening.

To Hikari and Carol, Gee you two ladies write well!! I'm really impressed; and I'm most sincere in that!! Great stuff; keep up the great work! Yes, I've always liked Craig, and I really hope he comes out of all this; all right. Sadly, though (and I don't mean Craig, here); a lot of men do take liberties!!

Hi Hikari, Thanks so much for this Post, and it's good to talk with you again: yes: as you say: it does make a good distraction from the loss of our pets. I love your way with words, by the way! It gave me a good laugh: so thank you for this! Well, I've watched Craig and have been keeping a bit of his an eye on his career over the last 34 years, and also having listened to him in interviews: I would have to say that I personally don't believe that Craig would have touched these ladies inappropriately! He seems like a really nice and sincere bloke, and he also seems to be very professional in his work! And as you say: it does seem a bit much; for these ladies to be suddenly acting all Prim and Proper, after being in a Bawdy and Raunchy show like this!! Unfortunately, there hasn't been anymore news about Craig and these allegations, since these allegations first came to light: which does seem to be a bit strange!! I just hope that Craig has found himself a good Lawyer. But,; having said all of this: please don't think that I condone any sort of sexual misconduct!! In fact: I condemn it!! Women should not have to be subject to any of this type of nonsense at all!! So if Craig is in fact guilty in accordance with what these ladies are saying, then yes, he should accept the consequences! Take care. Kindest Regards, always, Douglas

Dear Hikari, Thank you so much for your reply and for your kind words; I'm really sorry about your losses; that's awful; how heartbreaking for you!!! I can fully understand your pain, now that we've lost our Sasha; so I'm so very sorry. I think it's wonderful, that you do have another cat now; however; good on you! I think that's very strong of you, and don't worry: I'm sure that your new cat will become a Cuddler soon; you sound like a very good and nice parent. Once again: I'm so sorry to hear of your losses, and I hope you're coping all right; my wife and I are still trying to come to terms with the fact that our little Sasha is not here with us physically, anymore; but I agree with you: we also hope to meet him once we cross The Rainbow Bridge: in fact, we can't wait to see him again! So thanks very much, once again, Hikari. Take care. Kindest Regards, always, Douglas

Politicians! Do we really need them?! If so: I wish we didn't!! Our Politicians here in Australia are probably as bad, if not worse, than politicians anywhere else in the world, sadly!! They're embarrassing!!
