When I call my step-mother a soul-sucking hag, I am not suggesting she feeds on the essence of human souls, so much as drawing a parallel to that very telling metaphor.

Don't go slapping yourself on the back too hard, DNF

. My original post wasn't cryptic at all in the sense that it was indecipherable.
PygPop, in typical HPD fashion shot right past the meat of the post to being personally offended

, by nit-picking the syntax, at very nearly the speed of light!
I felt reasonably sure that someone else would post and point this out to PygPop and the forum without having to do it myself.
When I posted "Finally someone get's it" was my way of saying, "Attab

I think it's telling that you would refer to your soul when describing your step-

. For how would you know she was a soul-sucking hag if she weren't sucking on yours? Rhetorically speaking of course.
I like the term "soul-sucking hag". It makes logical sense in the universe. A HPD is most often female. Matter and energy move throughout the cosmos in a form of osmosis...high volume move to areas of low volume in an effort to create equilibrium. The soul-less HPD seemingly has a black hole where her soul should be so it just makes too much sense that she would suck the souls from her victims. Or like a bad Hollywood movie...
God bless ya, DNF!
One of these days I'd like to set foot on your continent. I hope to visit Australia before I die!
