It's a good thing our communication here is writing. When I get hypomanic and talk, it comes out at would probably seem like machine-gun speed to a lot of people anyway because of my New York City upbringing. Add in the fact that my Irish accent tends to thicken up as well without me noticing it, and I think only my family and close friends can make out what I'm trying to get across. I'm sure the others are mostly larfing at me, not with me. But, still, better a laugh than something really vicious. Ta. Cheshire Cat
