[i bet steve knows the answer to this one!] like i said before actions speak louder than mere words words and wordskill are simply tools like a sharp sabatier knife or a fast maserati automobile they can be used to slash and maim and invoke terror or they can be used to carve exquisite radish rose poems they can be used for racing away from responsiblity; from facing the music or they can be used to transport a suffering sibling to safety during the eleven years that i have known this pd companion of mine i have 'stumbled accidentally' into this gift of words it's my choice as to how i make use of it yours too no condemnation just pointing out what i see as a loss of direction in the hope that y'all can find your way back janet all alone but never lonely janet paterson 52 now / 41 dx / 37 onset e-mail - [log in to unmask] web-site - http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Village/6263/
