Glad to see the thread is alive.Mom also taught me Life will throw you knuckle balls, you will miss them, and that is o.k. (She had a wicked underhanded slider pitch that all my friends envied.) It's o.k to sing out of tune (She didn't but sometimes i did) If the cat joins in you might want to rethink that. Mr. Miss and mrs aren't just titles they are badges of respect for others and yourself. And I quote,"Trust me, the dog will not eat spinach!" It all adds up that she taught me how to appreciate myself and others and make a mistake or two and not think it's the end of the world. Kindest regards to all And Bron, I'm glad things are going better with you and your mom. Neil
