    How about "British Commonwealth Buddhist?" We know you guys need to drive on the wrong side of the street. It works better when you do it together.

    You blighters!!!!

    Now you've got me wondering what the very title implies. The term "American" has so many overtones, hasn't it!

    Well, since you're so *special*, maybe you should show some leadership.

    I don't see any Commonwealth forum yet. Just morale problems amongst your troops.

    Chop-chop now!

    Only problem with fora like this - one never knows when people are being funny or if they really are being offensive. And the smilies don't help because quite often people write rude things and then think it will be disguised by popping a smiley on the end.

    So hard to tell.

    I was just making your point, dear.

    I would never say something like that to some hottie I'm standing in the corner with. ;)

    Oh stop being so coy.

    Freddie has told me all about your and your adventures!

    Maybe you could put on your pirate costume again and take me in the High Seize ...

    or was that Seas?

    In any event, just come stand with me in the corner, matey.

    Argh!

    Sometimes i just get way too confused...

    Buddha said, "See things with a beginner's mind", it seems everything I do is seen/done with a beginner's mind.

    This is no exception.

    chicken or not, BF

    That leaves me out.

    I'd have to have a "mind" to be able to begin :)

    You're right. I failed to address the lady by name, after she did that to me. It happens.

    Brigid. A gael, I believe.

    Oh, and hey, having handled that little lack of mindfulness, how about considering my other comments on their merits?
