"I need" just irrationally annoys me. There's clarity and there's plain rudeness ...

I took one of these once -- they're usually held by people who want to get you on the hook for more classes and more fees. I was pursued after the class (I recorded books on tape for the state library for the blind for many years and read the news on the radio for the blind), but wasn't inclined to "go for it." On a lighter note, I have what might be described as a deep, "Fenella Fielding" type voice, and over the years a number of men have advised me that I could make a fortune on a 900 line! So I'll keep that in mind if I ever have trouble finding employment . . .

I think I have a voice like hers until I hear a recording and it's squeaky David Beckham
