              I already tried to work with that but unless one is prepared to sacrifice another vowel, it only makes matters worse.

                He's already denied it on this thread, but I'm suspicious that he's hiding something...

                      If by smartest you mean intelligence, knowledge and general life experience smart.....
                      I nominate Paladin as the most fit to match that description of any I have met in this WBF family.

                        My darling m-i-l was a Mensa member. It was the organization she stayed with the longest as she aged. Since previous iq tests would suggest that I'd do well on their test, she invited me to be her guest - so I could see what it was like. It was like Garret described. I passed. Yet she loved it.

                            I have a nephew whose virtually a mathematical savant, but give him a hammer………….. as grandma said about someones sewing "Like a cow with a musket". Interesting analogy, I wonder how far back that goes in the family?

                              I honestly believe that a few pretend to be stupid. If prompted correctly, they suddenly become surprisingly clearheaded.

                                my mom said you have to be smart enough to know how smart some people can be. I’m not that smart but appreciate good people. There are a lot of good people here.
