mindset Q Dear sleepless aka impossibility, As to your gender, beyond the fact that your blathes suggested to my sexistly stereotypifying mindset that you are female, in my mind's deep background there is a memory that you referred to yourself as a female in some blathes.

It suggests a controlled mind, a steady mind, and I often think I don't have one of those.

However, this could all get very deep and Freudian. So I'll stop now. Thank you for your comments previously - they have got me blathering incessantly. I think it might become an addiction. I hope your memory is not too dark, and your mindset not too sad where you are. 000907 ... impossibility And he agrees too . . . 000907 ...
