    I'm thinking of changing my name to HarlotPimpleSwell just to impress Caz.

    Well scarlet, we can't all be divine. I forgive you - for everything. But don't beat yourself up if you find forgiveness harder.

    The only small thing that ever made me bitter was my first husband when he brewed his own. I would have preferred him to make me Harvey Wallbangers but you can't have everything.

    Thankfully I have been spared the other kind of bitter, but I've heard it can turn sour middle-aged crones into sour old crones - and that's if they're lucky.

    But I bet you are as gallant and masculine as your namesake. I'm not wrong, am I?

    Love,

    Caz

    I am only really comfortable communicating with people in English. Luckily for me, I'm not expected to communicate here in anything else. I would be a trifle miffed with myself if anyone were to read my posts and think that English might not be my first language.

    But in my experience, some of the best communicators here don't have English as their first language (and I take my bonnet off to them), while some of the worst communicators do.

    Love,

    Hello Caz

    I see. Well, I didn't take it as an insult and this is the best way to take it, otherwise the smallest things would make us feel miffed, angry or bitter. To err, is human, to forgive, divine !

    Hello Caz

    There is nothing wrong in speculating out loud and by no means I took it as "witless" nor "rude" as you point out as there is nothing wrong in what Victoria said. It was merely an observation.

    Are you saying that you are illiterate in a foreign language and that you can speak... only English ? Is that correct ?

    I agree, Mike. Every time another lover jilts me I can go and put the kettle on.

    Love,

    It's not Amon-Ra you want to be careful of, it's his Mummy!

    Mike, there is also Amon-Ra.

    In reference to: They seek him here... they seek him there... they seek him everywhere ! It was not a reference towards myself but more to the real Jack the Ripper. Isn't true that they seek him here, they seek him there and everywhere with every story and every suspect and he still remains elusive as he was, 100 years ago ?

    dmon,

    ad-

    mon\ is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "earth". From the same root as Adam. Also the name of a type of red peony.


    Baby names that sound like Admon are Edmon and Edmond. Other similar baby names are Adnon, Adon, Adron, Aimon, Aymon, Ammon, Amon and Armon.

    Admon is an uncommon first name for men and an equally uncommon last name for both men and women. (1990 U.S. Census)

    Hi Victoria, yes I'm new in these parts and have entered here knowing that you can have your toes bitten by a snake. You are the first person here who has welcome me, and I can tell, that you have good manners and are a normal person. In a place like a murder site I thought right that I wouldn't find anything but snakes hiding under the rocks! I happened to find a whole collection of Ripper books whose owner must have dumped them there in a charity shop and I bought them all for just a pound each. The previous owner had left tantalizing side stories about all this, on the empty pages of the book. This site was mentioned, and I came here to see what it was all about. Thank you for the kind welcome.

    I'd like to think that last one was a deliberate play on words, but sadly I very much doubt it.

    They don't seek him here, they don't seek him there, they don't seek him anywhere - when he writes like that.

    Love,

    Maybe the problem is only that scarletpimpernel's first language may not be english ... that could be why it was hard to follow him.

    frase = phrase
    admon = admin

    Anyway I understand scarletpimpernel, what you were trying to say in
    regard to what I said in my previous post .. I can see the meaning from that perspective,
    instead of being caught up in my own, so thanks.

    Nice to meet you as well ..

    And welcome to the crazy world of casebook,
    I presume you are new.. as I haven't seen you here before.
    not that I venture far into the depths of this place ...
