[Sosfbay-discuss] Twinkling - grist for the mill

[Duende]

Hi All

Andrea's last post may seem a bit cryptic unless one reads back on it.

When I commented on what a turn off twinkling was to me at Mike's  
house it was apparent I was not alone in this if not just by the  
laughter alone.  Andrea felt pretty much the same but gets around it  
by nodding the fist which is the universal sign for "yes".

I think this is a wonderful way to be different (if need be) and  
simultaneously create inclusion.

Like the Subject says.. just "grist for the mill"

Peace

Duende
