It feels like being on a literary rollercoaster to read things like this - I hop on at the very first sentence and then get swept up, down, around the curves, all momentum and pure pleasure, with a pefectly-timed and calibrated arrival at the finish line. <br /><br />And yes, I did pay attention to WHAT you were writing about too. Made me think of a gesture my youngest makes - a slight upward jerk of the jaw while making eye contact - that is his non-verbal 'I love you'. <br /><br />You're brilliant. Humour and intelligence is an unbeatable combination.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10892637441668897411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-78728136819402387702011-01-27T06:52:52.650+00:002011-01-27T06:52:52.650+00:00Oh how we do speak body language, and with some pe...Oh how we do speak body language, and with some people, we can sense the language message even without looking.<br /><br />Thank you Cuban for an extensive and insightful post with a tinge of humour that can make one smile.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02399300464457820101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-36071849218926909432011-01-27T02:53:29.348+00:002011-01-27T02:53:29.348+00:00Interesting post.

Perhaps inhabits her character is a better description.<br /> <br />And poor old Paul.Titushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16380213493011623153noreply@blogger.com
