Gargoyle,

Just for your information, I am female, not that it should matter, but I just would like you to know. If you had some knowledge of other languages you may have recognized the feminine twist to an otherwise male- connontating word of French origin: gamin.

Gamine has a pretty cool meaning, and very deftly describes me. Look it up, if you own a dictionary (or know how to use one. In the future I would suggest putting a little bit of effort into your digs; they will probably not fall of deaf ears if you do.

Also, why should it matter to you if I *were* male? Couldn't a man learn the same things from his mother that I did? Why should he have to be gay if he did?

Care to respond?

Toribow,

Sounds like we could be sisters! :-)

Jerry,

I appreciate your input and enjoy reading your commentary! Thank you!
