Is there anything that might change your mind?
I received endless complaints about my Margaret Houlihan
signature, so I changed it to this nifty Bill Kawalec-inspired one.
Sometimes change is a good thing....

Maybe has been signing this way as long as I've known her - over ten
years. �It's her style and I've always looked forward to her little
"afterthoughts" after her signature. �If she ever just signed "Maybe"
with nothing after it, I would worry that she was ill or depressed or
angry. �Why would you want to squelch the beauty of a poster's
individual expression, just because it annoys *you*? �In all the years
I've been associated with AFL no one has ever had a negative comment
regarding Maybe's or anyone else's unique style of signing. �To the
"endless complainers" who contacted you regarding your Margaret
Houlihan signature quote, I'd say: �"Get a life." �Your signature
gives insight into what you're all about (at the moment).

Fine, I'm changing my sig back to the Houlihan one.
I like it. I've always liked it.
Suck on it, AFL!!!

You're saying "Suck on it" on Rosh Hashanah? It's a new year, for
heaven's sake. Let us, my children, attempt to live together in
harmony and peace and tolerance in this new year, whatever it is. Let
us stop picking on each other, no matter how annoying we are, and boy,
are we. So many of us harbor minor piques and resentments, which only
poisons the person who harbors such feelings.

So ask not what each poster can do for you--ask what you can do for
the poster.

And I have a poster of Marlon Brando as the Godfather, which I'm
putting, framed over my bed, because it's black and white with one red
rose. It doesn't match my color scheme, but I'll feel protected by a
psychotic but loveable gangster who combined strong love for his
children with the ability to put a horse's head into a sleeping man's
bed.

Now this post is the kind I'm famous for. It's bound to aggravate some
people, but this is my own peculiar sense of humor as I grind through
menopause. There are many who dislike my style, but it keeps me from
writing worse stuff. I see myself reacting to disharmony by being more
obnoxious than anyone else. No one's signature bothers me--it teaches
me something about the poster. And I don't feel I have the right to
tell anybody what to write either, unless I can't understand it. Then
I say something.

Happy New Year to everybody. Had a wonderful meal last night at a
friend's house, and they indulged me by toasting Paul Newman after
toasting to good health and a good New Year. I brought the wine, so
they felt they had to.

In conclusion, I'd like to leave you with the words of Abe Lincoln,
who said, "some day a man child named David will be born who will put
his hand on a woman's leg and heal her horse fly bite."
