Hi, how are you?

"Hello?"
"Hi Ribo, this is Linda".
"Hi Linda!"
"How are you, Ribo?"
"Very well, thanks; how are you?"
"I'm fine"
[Now onto the matter at hand ...]

How easy it is to just say "I'm fine, thanks" to the friendly acquaintance.
One wants to get on with the matter at hand, which in this case was, could she work for me tomorrow.
She does a little freelance work for me in her spare time - which is rare - one 7.5 hour work day every four to six weeks or so. She works through her lunch to get back to her bread-and-butter work faster - she is the manager there.
Still, I am grateful for her work, and I pay her well, I believe.
Still, I'll give her the real lowdown tomorrow - I think - seeing as things are going relatively well (?). I'm on this side of the soil-air interface.

I Am feeling well today - except for a big business disappointment. Nun, so ist das Leben.
I am getting a lot done, both around the house and on the computer, which always gives me a boost.

I like to give people really random responces when they ask me just to get a reaction.

Like "Red" or "Truckish" or "like a blade of grass about to be kissed by jack frosts second cousin"

The looks I get are priceless..lol

@brian in mpls: Uh, what does this pertain to?!
(I think I see what you mean!)
Let me just go and check out your response to the random question on your profile.
Thanks for stopping by today; I enjoy hearing from you.
BTW Have you had a good B.M. today?
My friend's grandmother used to ask her that every day.
Was that random enuff?
