Unfortunately, tollbaby did not say what sort of avaricious person she is. :D

Fortunately, tollbaby did let us find out what sort of avaricious person she is, the sort that would keep just for herself (how inordinately avaricious) the unmitigated bliss that comes from cleaning up and cataloging an entire house-full of books.

Unfortunately, nobody's willing to give me a houseful of books to catalog/play with/fondle.... *sigh* (although I'll admit to having a houseful of my own ROFL)

Fortunately I don't have to catalogue Tollbaby's books as well as the books in our house and in the church library.

Fortunately her books are too far away to be of concern to me (although my daughter is trying to inveigle us to move to her area).

Fortunately, Moonspring did understand, and understanding the male mind as well as she does, chose to ignore the emphasis. :lol:

Unfortunately most women understand the male mind much better than we understand the female mind.

Unfortunately, just because we understand the male mind doesn't mean we agree with with the male mind. :wink:

Unfortunately, understanding is not as simple, or as obvious, as tidal mechanics.
