      Howdy-do! I've been offline quite a while due to the hurricane Ike. My son & family had to evacuate due to their zip code but we (my roommate and I) did not so we just "hunkered down" as the news people have been telling us to do during the hurricane. No real damage home-wise but all our beautiful oaks are being cut down. The Lord was with us during the hurricane and the 15 days we were without power! Hope you are doing well!

      it sounds like we have a lot in common...yes, live and let live is a biggie for me. I try to practice these principles in all of my affairs, you know? Big time liberal in the creative arts...and major ruminator! Will be curious to see what doc. says tomorrow...I work hard to try to shut up the committee in my head, but think that I need help for this chemical imbalance! Have a great day!
