can I make a suggestion that when friends on this site see a message that has no replies please take the time to leave even just a one line message to the person.. I know what it is like to await someone sending you something and nothing happening. I have sat at the computor for ages willing the number of replies on things I have sent go up.<P>I know you all care but this is just a thought and it means so much.<P>take care, happy days<P>------------------<BR>karen

Kaydee- sometimes it takes a while for a response, because of work, conflicts of schedule, kids, etc. I try to respond to all the ones that I can relate too. I will email again when I get home -gn

this was not refering to me anymore, it was more the feeling I have cause i am nice like that when I see a message with no replies I feel I have to get something sent, may be it is to do with my catholic guilt!! <P>I hope you are well<P>------------------<BR>karen

Hi Kaydee,<BR> Great to have you on the board....I wish you didnt need to be, tho. Hope things get better for you soon. <BR> <BR> Completely off topic, but I justed wanted to tell you that my W's mother is British....a WWII war bride. That wonderful woman has had me in stitches for over 20 years now....she's a real comedienne! Also my W lived in England for 8 years as US Air Force brat in the 60's. She has a lot of high school chums she stays in contact with to this day (We come to England to visit them every few years).<P> It's kind of amazing, my in-laws marriage. A farm boy from Minnesota meets a girl in London between bombing missions. They get married and he brings her back to the US and they have 5 kids and are still going strong 55 years later.<P> Oh, and please stop saying you can't compete with a 27 year old chick. You certainly can, and hopefully will! I consider my W's stretch marks very attractive....every time I see them, I think of the 2 beautiful daughters that she gave me. <P> Anyway.....Welcome Kaydee and happy(er) days to ya!<P>-------------<BR>Bill
