Seed Pearl Necklace and Bracelets

With respect [to] * my 'edit'.
From memory, I had written ...
"That lady, if she was Mary, would be 9 years younger than the man. She aint.'
It now reads ...
"That lady, if she was Mary, should look about 9 years younger than the man. She doesn't. 2 or 3 years older maybe."

I make no apology. I edited because I knew that I'd used the word 'aint' for dramatic effort but that I really dislike it. I also knew that I'd used the word 'drivel' in an earlier post and felt guilty for allowing my frustration to be displayed in anger. Then there was that silly 'You're having a lend of us' ... attempt at humour/sarcasm which I considered editing but didn't.

So, all up, I was determined to try to be a bit more serious and hence removed the 'aint' and made the Post (IMO) a little more accurate and defensible.

James is correct in that I made the change in the middle of the night U.S. Time ... but it was daylight/evening time here in Melbourne. When I made the change I noted that only a short time (how many minutes? not sure ... not many) had passed since the original Post was 'sent'. I also noted that nobody else had responded to me and nobody else was on the Forum when I submitted my edited Post ... James must have been briefly absent.

One other point about editing ... the website containing the image could really do with a little work. It says that Lincoln was assassinated on April 15th. Obviously I can see why it would say that and there's perhaps other sites which also say April 15th. A little 'editing' would go a long way in clarification.... in my opinion anyway.

* the word 'to' was inserted in an edit ... I will also be inserting the URL link to the above website and using edit to do that in a minute ...

One last point, James. I hope that you'll continue to be part of this forum and havent exited for good.
