OK, OK Nomad. I haven't read what you've said, but I feel genuinely bad for freaking out on you. I'm sorry. Hope all is good with you.

Apology accepted. I hope you're able to get your situation ironed out if you still intend to pursue a TEFL position in KSA.

Dear scot47,

Why do I get the idea that you were born old and tired? Smile

Aww... Feel the bromance. (Sigh.)

Collectively, you both clocked in more than 35 years in Saudi Arabia. Your sandals should be memorialized in solid gold and enshrined somewhere out in the Kingdom's gently blowing sands. Wink

Just as gracious as the apology itself. You don't often meet people who are able to accept an apology in this world.

Dear nomad soul.

Even more mawkish - it's a long-distance bromance.

Actually, though, we're auditioning for the sequel - to be entitled "Grumpiest Old Men."

Just as in the pic - but not in sub-zero temperatures.

Hi. I'm the OP. It would be nice if someone insulted me every now and then.

Hang around long enough and I'm sure that it will happen. Cool

Dear nomad soul,

I am nobody's puppet (sock or otherwise). Darn, my nose just got longer again. Very Happy

Dear wavelength,

Well, if you insist - borrowing from the Bard:

"“Thou art a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy worsted-stocking knave; a lily-liver’d, action-taking, whoreson, glass-gazing, superserviceable, finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd in way of good service, and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pandar, and the son and heir of a mungril bitch.”

“I desire that we be better strangers.”

I mean, if you're going to insult someone,why settle for second-best? Very Happy

Fast enough for you. VS?

Regards,
John

I feel much better now. The butterflies of insecurity have vacated my tummy-tum-tum.
