Well, I must say Muriel I was so tickled when I saw the title Benn Found...I hadn't seen him around for a while and to think old Benn was right here all along just warms the cockles of me heart! Does anyone know exactly what "cockles" are?

Yes, jkbookfinders, I did...Phewww somehow I thought they were little sea creatures but what does that have to do with "heart"
The fishmongers daughter:
Alive alive all , alive, alive all, singing
cockles and muscles alive, alive all. Never buy a dead cockle
BOT: We won't have those for your Birfday Muriel, dumpling!!

Happy Birthday, Muriel!
Ok, the truth is...
I was jealous. James is so popular and everybody hates me. So I planned it all.
I created a false user name on ebay. I bought 19 items to build my feedback. Then I bid on and won one of James' items just to get his address. I didn't pay of course because I was saving for plane fare and he left me a neg which made me hate his guts even more.
After that I had to find out when he wouldn't be missed so I probed him until I got enough information about a short trip he was planning alone. Just in advance of that, I turned off the pump to the minnow tank at my house and killed all the minnows. (I knew Jim would need more bait and it's 6 miles to the bait shop.) Just as I anticipated, he needed bait right away. I convinced him to take the kids by bribing them that daddy's going to let them hold a cricket.
While they were gone, I took our piece of junk truck to the airport and waited to see if I could get a last minute ticket. I did so I flew to Atalnta, changed planes, then on to New York. There I got a taxi and made it to James' house just as he was leaving for his trip. Cleverly, I pretended to be the pet sitter so James brought me in to show me where he keeps the puppy chow. There I killed him. *sob*
I stuffed his body into a small overnight bag. Got back in the taxi...airport, Atlanta, home, junk truck, and made it home just in time to dispose of James' body before Jim got back from the bait shop with the kids. (I pretended to have been chatting all this time which is believable.)
I didn't think you guys would miss him so when you did I got nervous and came up with a second plan. First I said James had technical trouble to stall for time...but NO SPAZ is TOO SMART for ME.
Then, I poured out all the shampoo and pretended not to feel well. Jim had to go to Wal-Mart to get shampoo and that's six miles (the other direction from the bait shop). Because I didn't feel well, he took the kids..again. He is a pretty nice guy.
Junk truck, airport, Atlanta to change planes, New York, taxi. This time I had to break in because I locked the door and buried the key (it was in James' pocket, I assume-I did not go there, and I didn't want to dig him up then...it'd been a week or so.) Nasty.
Once in his apartment I booted up his machine. Since he had AW bookmarked logged in, posting was here a piece of cake. I simply posted (as James) that what I had said was true, that I was fine, and that I had a "real life". (Well, KRS is smart enough to know that that can't be true.) Taxi, airport, Atlanta to change planes, piece of junk truck, home, back in bed pretending headache before they got home with the shampoo.
BUT NO! you guys were TOO SMART for me!
T.
P.S. I am sorry about James...but he should have never left me that neg.

Why, hello KRS. How are you? I hope you are having a lovely weekend. Bit cloudy here for my liking.
No, unfortunately there are no workshops in my area. Would you be available for tutoring? After all, you are such an insightful poster that you would be certian to add much to my writing skills.
