Yikes! Learn this quick! The essential difference between cupping a teabowl
in your hands, and cupping someone's breast is this: you can use the tea
bowl to WARM your icey hands. BUT if you use someone else's breast for the
purpose expect a yowl, and a good shove. (Yes, it's getting on to winter
here!)

A human life as a MISTAKE? Do you listen to yourself? Do you hear what an
odious, horrifying thing you are saying?
Plenty of people have thought themselves judges of whose lives are mistakes!
The MISTAKES include you and me, Buddy. (I was born a Jew in Berln, 1930)
And there are people and parents of people on this list who have physical
and emotional peculiarities, differences, rarities, that Eugenicists would
decry as "mistakes"
And you would have us believe that some the whole entire life of a POTTER
whose work or work philosophy does not appeal to you IS A MISTAKE?
I am so appalled I will just say goodbye to you. I have enjoyed our
occasional exchanges but this, truly truly is too much. I am as close to
speechless as I can get, and so will shut up.
But I am glad The Day of Atonement is some days away, still, so you can
reconsider and think about who exactly is the Judge.
As to Perfection.
It is not achievable--it is process. And as Mel has pointed out it involves
so many skills, the striving becomes a way of life. But the notion of
perfection like that of progress is one of working towards not getting
there, because it is like the horizon--unattainable in time.
OED: to read our beloved Janet an OED is needed. "Moithered" = bothered.

Hi Lily!
But what of the old phrase...
"Colder than a Witches teet"?
One should not expect to warm their chilled hands there,
either, even with a coy or sultry invite to do so...
At least I would not. ( Or, as they say as well, "Thrice
bit, maybe a mite towards some demure or pensive after
that..."
- at least so far as Witches may be concerned....)
Woodnymphs on the other hand...
Just get global of tiny delicate 'goosepimples' it
seems...and thence liltingly laugh and spritely away...
A much happier outcome...!

Phil,
You wrote ""Colder than a Witches teet"?

First I've always heard it said "Colder than a buffalo's teet in a snowbank"
Second when I was younger I never passed up an opportunity and I would have
considered that a pretty nice hand warmer.

now if you look at it from a feminine point of view, the expression
that I favor is "cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey."
