I can't bring up anything!
Thanks Rick, I didn't notice the spacing!
it wasn't the spacing, it was a...

Hi R2
Come out of hibernation again?
Come out of hibernation again?
AHHH! The mystery is now solved. FINALLY. Now I know. I've been spending a lot of time on this puzzle, and this morning I finally have an answer. Comma or apostrophe? Apostrophe or comma? The riddle it no longer a riddle. The enigma is no longer an enigma. It's an apostrophe.
Rick, don't make me get out my purple pen...
Yep, we are both correct R2, it was the spacing between the comma and the com was missing.

Purple and green are such nice soft colors, and not gender specific (last I heard). I'm especially impressed with purple.
Say, Shirley. Can you keep a secret? I know it's difficult, but you know how people might start talking. My bedroom is two shades of purple (white ceiling). Very, very calming.
I can't believe it!! Rick, the one that tells nada, nada..tells the colors in his bedroom for his very, very first glimps into his so private life!!! 
I promise not to tell -- people might start wondering how I know...
Purple may be calming, but I remember from a college psyche class that pink actually induces psychosis. They've done studies in mental institutions, and they've learned NOT to paint the padded cells pink...
We've just had our classrooms here at work remodelled, and the poor project manager actually made the mistake of asking our team of six trainers (including five females) to decide what color we wanted the room to be... The winner was sort of a light grey-blue shade -- picture a computer monitor with a white screen that's starting to fade out (like the one I'm looking at right now). It won primarily because it's called "Goddess" Blue!
So much for gender-specific colors!

Sorry, Rick, the secret is already out...
Oh, no, Shirley...I won't tell either!!
Ok, Mrs. M., as long as you're keeping secrets, don't tell Rick that I'm wearing purple today -- he might get the wrong idea!
Actually, isn't blue supposed to be calming, yellow, uplifting?
Personally, I think it probably depends on how you feel about the color. I had a friend in college that painted her room purple and pale lavender, even the blinds...she sat in there and smoked A LOT

Not your fault. I figured it get out. It IS pretty big news.
Please, rick, bar your door...the NBC news will be there soon!!
Just what Janet and Justin need, a distraction!
Yes, don't they!!
Hey, Rick, unbar the door and come out and play!
Makes me think of an old child's song...I think rain barrel or something like that. 
Say say oh playmate,
come out and play with me
And bring your dolly's three
Climb up my apple tree
Slide down my rain barrel
into my cellar door
and we'll be jolly friends
Forevermore!!!
(that one?)

Yes, that's the one!!
If I remember correctly, it was one of those clapping-games, where you sit in a circle and see who misses first...
I don't remember that! I just remember singing the song and singing it to the little ones later in life....but its been a long life!
Or maybe my big sister just added that part. She was always pretty competitive!

Call me a pedant (and someone no doubt will!) but the link was to
http://www.wildauction.com,/with no spaces so the only problem was the comma (or a low-level apostrophe if you prefer!). So Mrs M, you were slightly less 'correct' than me.

That might explain a lot. Isn't pink used for babies (gender specific). Also, blue is calming. It's probably some conspiracy.
R2,
Rick, hmmm, wonder if some male thought up those colors???

A song by Iron Butterfly ... 19 minutes of 'Inna-Godda-Da-Vida baby" ... over and over and over and, well, you get the idea
Got any Aces?
OIC!...yep, as I said, my girlfriend in college smoked A LOT!!..... I got aces and 8s!

“Pedant” – Love that word. Always thought that “pedant” was a redundant word/phrase.
Depending on the meaning you choose. It can simpy mean scholastic. Or of course, a bookworm or a person who pays more attention to formal rules and book learning than they merit!
R2,
Regardless of the meaning, it beats the alternative.

Which would be what, Rick?
