Yes, there was the curiosity of not knowing what is the relationship of Stephanie to the Whitaker twins. Do they like each other or not? Why were all those sparks flying about? Are they really so telepathic or are they just guessing wrong on purpose so that I then have to correct that later? And that gives me a big headache, to be sure. And even so, why should it be my job to correct their telepathic sputterings? Is someone going to pay me to do that? Am I that gullible that I should allow myself to be pressed into slavery for no reason whatsoever?

Yes, that was sort of weird the way Susie was gloating about her many Christmas presents on the tape, but anyway you never heard the tape, and also sometimes we have to overlook these minor faults in our friends and not draw too much attention to these minor details. It just didn't matter that much.
How many times do I have to point out that I never gave any gift to Carol Garlic, only my mother did that. How should I know who those Italian women were? They all sort of look the same to me. I do not remember them that much. Why should I care if Miss Garlic is gone on a a huge ego trip.

Yes, you could always ask Michelle about that. Doesn't Michelle have her thumb on everything anyway? So what could I possibly add to whatever Michelle would say.

Yes, I vaguely remember that during our college field trip for Desert Biology we had occasion to stop in Tucson, where we toured the museum of natural history, featuring information about the various species of prickly cactus plants and so forth, and later we stopped to hike the Picacho. Several of us signed the log book at the summit of the Picacho, indicating that we had been there in maybe '79 or '80, I forget exactly which year. I really do not have anything to add to that. Any further annotations or commenataries would only add layers of complication that were really not necsessary.

Yes, and there is the question of whether the boarder was really an Astor, or just some third-rate wannabe. So what about that? And who care anyway now after all these years/ There is not much to go on, just one census document from the early 20th century.

Yes, there is that bit in the diary about Grandma putting the dirty laundry outside to dry. Some people are making way too much of that. She died years ago, in the 1980s, and anyway I am sure that she was a Christian and that Jesus forgives her faults and mistakes and sins, so what about that? And I am not related to you anyway so I see no reason for this conversation to exist.

Yes, who would have thunk that all of these weapons and tools existed? I never really knew that until now. Oh!
