My Thanks

My thanks to my mother who for 25 years, has held me, comforted me, given me the strength I need. My thanks to my mother for being there, holding me in her arms when I told her my secrets, and cried out the pain of twenty years. My thanks to my mother who in the darkest days of her depression stumbled around in the gloom making sure we were fed, nurtured and loved. My thanks to my mother who held tightly to my hand, reassuring me of her presence, as I swam through the murky depths of my own despair. My thanks to my mother for making me into who I am today.

(7) ROFL! You is funny, Mark....

Yeah, Lh, but Mr. Twain didn't live long enough to see what San Francisco is like today.....

(8) or better yet you can do as kat suggested...give her handmade coupons and then move as far away as possible....

(9) I always thought the Internationale was pretty patriotic.....

(10) Kat, what is a Job's Daughter?

For the purpose of demonstration: These are the last ten posts of a Mudcatter (not selected, just the first one that came into my mind) at this moment in time. The language is in the middle between talking and writing as is surely correct for many of us. Mudcat serves at least two functions, gathering refindable information and talking to (mostly) friends. If there could be a way (optional and self regulating, no other person than the poster responsible for the pigeonholing) that the posts nearer to 'talking' could automatically disappear after some time and the posts nearer to 'writing' could remain without time limit, some searches would be much easier. Programming that can't be difficult.
