My name is Tavernier

Just so there isn't any misunderstanding. I live in Tavernier, Florida, in the Keys and am of the female persuasion.

Thought I'd better clear this up in light of Taverner's "demise" since we have been confused with each other in the past.

You say you are of the "female persuasion".

Are you telling us that you are a male theatrical performer who acts as a woman?

Do you star in Shakespearean plays?

No boot in the butt yet by the admin, although I was sorry to hear of Taverner's troubles. I had to wonder if he didn't go off the edge a bit as I remember reading last week that he had a death in the family.

Yup, weather is fantastic this time of the year in the Keys, but the trade off is bumper to bumper traffic. Ah well...

and is nonresponsive. From experience, I can say this is worse than death.

I was here back in the ugly bush days and couldn't hold a civil tongue back then; already got hidden twice since returning

Hmm... Come to think of it, you might be right!

Beats me. I just live here.
