    I posted a question similar to this one about two or three weeks ago. I expect royalties or I’m calling my attorney.

    The denial files in the deny category.
     Unless, of course, you deny having such a category and therefore would not claim to have such files.

    I have found batting big, baby-blue eyes, with long eyelashes and a little pout works well.
    Then again, maybe not.  It might have worked in the old days.  I'm not so sure it would these days.  I haven't had to deny anything in quite some time.

      I’m not so sure it wouldn’t work these days, Merlie. You’d have me wrapped around your little finger in no time!
