...well, you are certainly welcome! and THANK YOU!!!!

Mo, I really like that! The Zebra Finches' babies are getting bigger in my classroom and that could easily apply to them! I may even write your poem up and put it beside their cage. Do you mind? Thanks so much!! wb

...whinney hehehehe......

oh gosh, y'all. i don't know where i'd BE right now without gs. it has been the best therapy of my life. thanks everyone for your sweetness, understanding, and friendship.

I think personal experiences are valid and that was just one more lie to get us to trust him and not the Holy Spirit.

Good. Maybe they'll stop sending it to me, then.

That has happened to me twice. The first time I kept trying to put my password in and wasn't allowed to get into my gmail for 2 days. The second time was yesterday, and because of past experience, I didn't try to get in again for several hours and was successful. IMHO, they're doing maintenance or something when that happens, possibly updates, so I'll just LEAVE THEM ALONE from now on when that happens. Hope you log in ok, soon! wb

I wasn't smart enough to think this one up, but someone said: INSANITY IS DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS. I think it applies here...

errr, who are they??? never heard of 'em.

OK. It's good to learn new things, Raf! I hadn't realized that. Thanks! Maybe its closeness to Calif. threw me off? Who knows (no, I'm not a valley girl, imho, lol).

Ex, I tend to agree with what you're saying. There's something missing somewhere if the cffers are still holding vpw up as an icon, imho.

Chas, that's a good book! I happen to OWN a copy. It was my second ta last Valentine's present (in honor of our dog, I suppose). Anyway, it's a hoot (I know, we're a bit different).

Thanks, guys. I'll share your brief story with the class Friday, THE EVAN. Second hand info isn't bad. It must have been so horrible for all involved. Sadly enough, the class is looking forward to it because they think they're gonna see blood & guts. So sad. It's so difficult to scratch their toughened-by-tv-hearts. Good point, J. He supposedly said in his book that we were just pulling out of Somalia and he didn't want to tell them to turn around and go back (I haven't read it). wb

Hey, I am showing Hotel Rwanda to my 7th Graders on Friday. Does anyone here have any "inside points" that would make the unit more interesting? Sometimes they get a little bored with "facts." They like, unfortunately, sensationalism (not that the murder of almost 1,000,000 people in 100 days isn't sensational enough). Any thoughts about why Clinton didn't want to get involved or whatever else that they should know???? Thanks, wb

haha, tbone

You are correct, sir! But, a lot of us still thought, gee that doesn't sound right, and kept our mouths shut anyway because of above.

In RENO?????? Has it ever snowed in Reno, NV? Still kicking myself for the many times I knew the emperor had no clothes and said nothing!

Geo, wish I knew who that was who called so I could shake his hand. Why weren't we all doing that??????

...yeah, as much as I love her, and I do, I've often wondered what a Hollywood brat (Jen) would have in common with a mere mortal such as Brad, but then what do I know....

Happy Birthday, dear lady. Sorry I missed it, but c'est la vie! Hope it was the best one yet!

Happy Belated BD, Psalmie!

...or possibly Anthony Buzzard's group...they have home fellowships (I've been told) and they're all around...even in other countries. They're also very loving and accepting (I've been told by one of my dearest friends who associates with them)...

...AND SUSAN HAYWARD...SHE WAS GOOD...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JL! :)

OK. Will do! Thanks for the advice 3 Cents and all:-)
