I am in agreement with conflicts but love oysters and their gooey look. Lollygagging has been one of my favorite words since I learned in high school or college (can't remember which one). Thank you for including me in your intro. I will remain true to form. Right now, I am trying to finish arranging the gallery in between the start of the quesy stomach again.
