assistant: Lora:
 I know what you mean!  Takes twice the time to get half as far...
 You know Christmas is my holiday!  I'm ready to start coming up with
 some things to do.  We ought to get together for a few hours of
 crafting and brainstorming!  :)
  That's why I only put 3 candles on "mature" peoples' cakes.
  Ooooooooh...look out! :)
  The T-Net is about $65 a quarter.  We've had no problems with them.
  I can get the phone number if you want it.  Could you not use Bell
  South Net?
   This sounds wonderful!  I know the recipient loved their blanket.
 Yeah, I know the feeling.  There are a LOT of things I need to tend to
 here, before I can even have company.  Bill just got a computer for him,
 and I got the old one.  Yea!!  But, I've had to move a bunch of things
 from my desk, and don't know where else to put them.  Now my whole
 room is cluttered with "stuff".  I have been going through tons of old
 magazines and cutting out recipes and craft sections, so I could throw
 out the magazines.  I made up file folders for the recipes and crafts
 for the sheets to go in.  At least I feel like I've done **something**.
 Lots more to do!  Lots!!
 I know exactly what you mean!  Our youngest, 21, will be moving in with
 us again in a couple of weeks, for I don't know how long.  But, I do
 enjoy having him around, and like to have his friends over.  (I'm a
 tree; I can bend!)  :)
 hope to see you before long,
 Wanda
 P.S.  Have you seen the IMAX?  Bill and I will go see it, probably
 Friday night.  My sister and I are going tomorrow to see the exhibit
 at the Pink Palace about the slave-ships  We like to see the things
 on the past events.  I saw the Titanic exhibit, then went to the movie.
 It was great.  I think the IMAX is about the space program?
