Aren't we getting just a little crass here?

Not really...we have special topics for that!

OOH GOODY!!! What are they?

Look under religion!! NO, just kidding! And that should read: MAD SCREWER OF RECREATION, thank you very much!

Or, perhaps: MAD RECREATIONAL SCREWER,........or MADLY RECEATIONAL SCREWER?

I rather like the last option! To be madly recreational - like being a creative screwer; sounds good, doesn't it?

DEFINITELY!! VERY GOOD!! variety is the spice of life, for sure, Riette.

The art of sex. I'll keep a canvas close within reach next time....

And some finger paints too, Riette. Lots of colors. And the canvas should be big enough to lay on.

Sounds good! So, do you do art?

Not anything that is any good, Riette. But I enjoy dabbling in it?

Who is to say whether art is good or bad. Good art is art that fulfills the need for creativity. If yours does that, you're good. Will you show me?

Sure Riette, but it'll have to be something that I do between now and then, Because , I don't keep anything around. Usually, after I get tired of looking at it I throw it away.

Oh, you don't have to, really! But why do you throw your art away?!?!

I am a pack rat by nature, Riette, If I do not make an effort to rid myself of excess baggage from time to time, I would live in a warehouse.

Then get rid of the crap, not your art!

Riette, I do keep it until I get tired of it, then I get rid of it.

How can you get TIRED of it??

I don't know, After awhile I get tired of looking at it.

The expression is in the doing, Riette. While it is in progress it is living. When it is done It is frozen. No longer living. After a time I get tired of looking at that frozen moment.

I don't. I see it more like a photograph - of what was going on in my mind at the time. Like a memory - reminding me that something DOES actually go on in my head; it's not just a mass (however little!) of grey bits. But don't worry, I'm not going to try and change your mind. You're probably less egotistical than me in NOT keeping them, and that's to be respected!

Thank you again, Riette, I wish I could aspire to such noble ideals. but, the fact is, I've limited room, and anything non essential goes.

That's the kind of practicality I need in my life too! I might be able to walk in a straight, uninterrupted line through my flat for once!

Stuff everything into the closet, Riette, that's what I do.

The closets are all overflowing. Some of it I just swallow. The rest I live with.

This is my system, Riette, When the closet gets full . throw something away to make room.

That sounds incredibly complicated.

Actually, It's quite simple, Riette, You assign a finite amount of space to stuff. When stuff exceeds that space, get rid of some stuff.

I do that too, except the last bit...

Then it must logically follow , Riette, that stuff will eventually get rid of you.
