And he was so pleased with himself, you could see pride radiating off him as he sat there on his tricycle. <BR/><BR/>I like 'Strong Man', too. There's an honest and fundamental sort of vibe to them. I like the idea that ou can live up to the compliments you get. Grow into them. <BR/><BR/>Good man, Andrew.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337056659803732067.post-34172004115304774282008-11-12T15:07:00.000+00:002008-11-12T15:07:00.000+00:00I think there's no higher compliment.I think there's no higher compliment.Uncle Dick Madeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01124053234469634414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337056659803732067.post-14425530465527736022008-11-12T11:19:00.000+00:002008-11-12T11:19:00.000+00:00Better than being 'good man' is being a 'decent ma...Better than being 'good man' is being a 'decent man', that comes at a serious price - mainly paid in pints.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337056659803732067.post-55315097492509345552008-11-11T23:48:00.000+00:002008-11-11T23:48:00.000+00:00B - i've been sent to the clinic for a few things,...B - i've been sent to the clinic for a few things, but not that particular problem.<BR/><BR/>Rick - Thanks.

If only compliments were magic wands (if only all wands were magical - gutter, sorry). Too bad they don't work when we say them to ourselves for the most part. I can only tell if a man is good by how well they massage my feet.
