Coupla things (random order).


1. I have often been asked to describe what my membername "means." For lack of a better place to refer a NUMBER of FAQs, I find it convenient to put that explanation here (upthread). I had to adjust the punc. recently because site HTML didn't like my earlier effort. Oh well! :~)

2. Another FAQ will probably be, what is "TBTG"? It's "Thanks Be To God." .... A lot less proselytizing than spelling it out as I so often long to do in my posts here, and less obvious that WWJD-- an acronym purdy much co-opted by the culture, anyhow. I have not seen TBTG anywhere else-- I guess I coined it one day in a business email.

3. Altho the emailed prayer chain is no longer operating, I do not object to (but I do not solicit) prayer requests being made in this thread.

4. As the thread's OP, may I say that I prefer folks not to use this thread for religious/religion controversy. Those discussions tend to go on forever; this thread is not the best place (in practical terms) for THAT.

Thank you,
