Merle, Yee, CATS! Instead of lacerating your face and gums trying to tear open a can of beans while struggling to share an appreciation of art with friends, ...have the friends over, FEED them the beans with a smile, and talk art with them, and help them to see the details or entireties that you see in the work, or in the artist, or in the artist's career. A dollop of your good Aussie Red can only help, too. That's called sharing. It differs from force-feeding. I'm not full of beans, on this. --Joe > Merle Lester <merlewiitpom@...> wrote: > > feed who beans?..see how snippets make no sense???????? merle
