OT - Changing My Sign-off

That's how our cats express affection when they go past our legs. It's oh so casual. As they stroll by, they arc their tails sideways so that they make contact with our ankles. A cute way of saying "You're all mine." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- That's cute too! You know, this is getting interesting, especially give the, um, "conversations" I've been having lately. Cats have many different modes of body language meaning very different things from love to pleasure to disdain and insult)! For instance, my "flip me the tail" when they want to insult me. I'm thinking my signature could possibly do the same! ; Nose Kisses, CatNipped |

Since my "Hugs" seems to have been co-opted, I figure I'd change my sig. Suggestions anyone? Here's one suggestion: keep using your favourite .sig like you've always done, and don't allow yourself to be buffetted by the whims of others. Its your sig. So what if another uses it? It does't stop being yours. They don't damage the word, they don't take anything away from you by using it, and besides, you aren't the first to use it either. If you like it, use it, if you don't, then stop. But don't stop using it just because someone else came along and started using it too. Heck, I stole my sig from somewhere a long time ago, too. If someone else starts using it, well, good on them. Just shows what a good sig it is, and what good taste I had to use it first :-) Yowie -- If you're paddling upstream in a canoe and a wheel falls off, how many pancakes can you fit in a doghouse? None, icecream doesn't have bones. |

None, icecream doesn't have bones. I've paddled my canoe upstream. And a wheel has fallen off. (I've got a 2-wheel trolley for the portages around locks and some waterfalls). I don't have a doghouse (although I'm often in it!), but I would imagine that the number of pancakes that could fit in to it would depend on many variables - such as whether a dog is still inside, and eating the pancakes! I also take issue with the statement that ice-cream doesn't have bones. In the UK, soft ice-cream as dispensed from the travelling vans used to be made from a mix of water and a powdered substance that was 90% beef fat. Given the method of recovery of said animal product, "rendering", I wouldn't be at all surprised if ice cream does have bones included. However, said content of beef fat has been changed, probably since "mad cow disease" came to light. I understand that the majority constituent now is vegetable oil. -- MatSav (No .sig - thinking on it) |

I'll probably be criticized for saying so, but that seems a rather trivial reason for changing a preferred signature. Who CARES (or in my case even NOTICES) if two people sign off on messages the same way? Since each message indicates the person who wrote it, I seldom bother to sign mine at all. (That doesn't seem to confuse anyone about who wrote it, when they reply.) |
