Hey Pete - I'm glad that your blog reflects the fact that you are feeling better. I am posting here instead of on your blog because half the time your blog destroys my comments when I try to post them. Poor Bella has faithfully every night posted a comment on your blog and most of the time they disappear when she goes to publish them. Probably because she messes up on putting in the nonsense string of alphas to prove she is not a machine. However, inasmuch as she is only in the first grade every single comment she has posted/tried to post to your blog says pretty much the same thing, so if you've read one you've more or less read them all. (Her vocabulary/spelling is somewhat limited so she has to go with what she knows).

On a side note, to prove that you must be getting better and that we can now impose upon you and be generally snarky without a sense of guilt, I would like to mention that the girls and I were overcome with shame when we were forced to purchase ground hamburger meat FROM A DOMESTIC COW at Albertson's like the rest of the hoi polloi, for the first time in almost 3 years, instead of the fine venison grind we are accustomed to dine upon.

If you put enough of Pete's seasoning on either one it will taste like chicken.
Warning to those he used to converse vocally with. Per the blog it's no longer a croak like a frog but a loud wisper.
Enjoy what time you have left before you get an ear full.

point taken I will inquire of James -

Did we ever quit being snarky?

Good point.

Waiting for the aquilla cowboy to chime in here......

Can't remember when I 've ever had to define snarkiness. Didn't google it. But in case we get technical here can someone give an example? Was Pete a little snarky a time or two during his treatments (or in the years before) ?

Well to be snarky is to be irritating or annoying. I do not think of Pete as "snarky" so much as I thiink of him as "obnoxious".At the risk of being politically incorrect I think of Snarky as a feminine attribute and Obnoxious as a masculine attribute, although I well appreciate that there are any number of individuals who are both snarky and obnoxious. Not that any of them ever post on 6 Man.

Obnoxious - male, as in farting loudly in a social setting

Snarky - female, comments loudly on said male gas-passing in the same social setting

I never stopped being obnoxious to Pete.
OBK, I wish I could have "chimed in" yesterday, but my boss actually made me work.

I hate it when that happens......

Me too!

I'll probably post a little more during working hours now that I'll be going back to the officew in Illinoisy on April 30. TVA had a block on most sites aith intermittent access.

So, if a fella in mixed company rips a big one, steps back and to his friend says loudly 'Pete ! Control Yourself !'.
He could be obnoxious And snarky?

He might be obnoxious, snarky and CowboyP...
