And, as another one of my pseudo-random signature tag-lines says: '...who says "I'm still learning, and I hope I never stop."' And, when I do stop it's probably time to "roll me in" and start shoveling the dirt back on top. > ... > if we didn't goof up > we'd be perfect > and we'd be done here ... And, heaven knows I'm not done yet. I'm still having fun with this thing we call life and there's just too much more to learn to give up now. So, I guess I'll look forward to more goof-up's in the future. :-) And, when I *am* done here, I know that what I've learned this time will be useful next time around. ;-) > ... > yikes > and i thought just using 'words' would be easy as pie ... Well, janet m'dear, you do it so well. To you it must be easy. :-) > ... > >...

From Compton's Encyclopedia On-line: "The Buckeye is an orna- mental shade tree that is a popular planting for streets and parks. The trees native to the United States are the Ohio buck- eye and the yellow buckeye. The Ohio buckeye grows in the central states -- chiefly in the Mississippi River valley and in Ohio, which is nicknamed the Buckeye State. The tree probably takes its name from its smooth brown nut with a light brown spot, like the eye of a deer." > ... > >ROTFLMBO.

Absolutely! And, to make this post at least slightly on-top- ic, I can say that I continually try to change my thoughts to do what I can to change my PWP world. No amazing results to report yet -- it really isn't as simple as it sounds -- but I continue to work on it trying to grok it in fullness ... Going back to semi-lurk mode to try and find something more on-topic to post about. Bill-- ...who says "If God intended us to be naked, we would be born that way." .___.
