I was not familiar with the way Damien was using the word, so I looked it up on an online dictionary(big mistake! lol). It did not have "pace" defined as "peace" in any of the definitions, but did have one meaning "specifically!" And so that is what to a large extent set me off! lol Is the use of "pace" in this way something common among Australians, but not U.S. folks?

True; at least, not at John's expense, except inadvertently (rather as a

winging any astrologers on the list).

I still tend to think Damien was "inadvertently on purpose" giving me a hard time with his trademark sarcasm showing, but that is his right on this list.
He is still one of my favorite people around here! And I really hope to meet him one day at an Extro(probably the Sydney 2023 Extro, nah..., even that might be too far for him to travel!).
I just wonder how Damien would react to having an NDE of his own where he has a life review, converses with deceased relatives, and gets a tour of the afterlife?

Why, I thought Damien owed me an apology! lol!!

Oh, heavens no! Not in the least! John didn't offer to spit in my face if
we ever meet, unlike the last person here who took exception to my comments.

Attention list members! You never want to get into a spitting fight with an aussie!! A very beautiful Oz gal once warned me of how spitting is a well-honed skill among many in the land down under. They have major competitions to promote it!
My own talents lie in snowball fighting(but I obey the Geneva Convention rules which say the snowball's center must not have ice in it)! So Damien better stay out of cold climates when I'm around... : )
Actually, he would just need to take me out with his trusty boomerang! I suppose the one he has at home would not get through airport security, but he could just fashion a new one from materials which were handy in whatever new environment he found himself in!
And if that does not do it, Damien will use his black belts in Kung Roo, or Tae Kwon Kanga to defeat me! The formidable combination of hopping and kicking in these fighting styles is pretty much unbeatable!!
best wishes,
John : )
