Good morning all.  This is early for me.

Good morning!  You fell out of bed Rammel? 

I usually get up (upright) between 7 and 8, but not alert and "with it" till mid-morning.

I am not "operative" before 9.00, but at my best after noon and in the evening. No naps for me - as yet!

" You can tell who wears the trousers in that house..."

Was often said about the boss of the house, be it the man or the woman....

" He is tied to his mothers apron strings..."

Usually said of a man who wouldn't leave his mothers home, to go out into the big wide world....

" She or he, is a gold digger..."

When you know that person is only after yours, or someone else's money....

Re: 703 - "If in doubt, don't"

I wonder if you had also put in "When in doubt, leave it out." referring to the use of commas.

Added "When in doubt, leave it out." referring to the use of commas.
