Sorry about that; I SHOULD have placed a smiley at the end.  <G> like
that.

I hear there will be an opening soon.

Thank you.  You CAN however post such Amens privately to the individual
person at their originating E-mail address.

I doubt anyone here could argue that EVERY mandate was scriptural, so
yes, I do.

Again, that's a coincidence <G> :) <VBG>, etc.

No thanks, I'm married. <G>

If I'm dressing myself, I do.  No grin; I am serious!

Nah, you're just one of those crankpots that is calling Pentecostal Men
WIFE BEATERS, AIN"T YA?

How do people get sore thumbs?  They HIT THEM WITH A HAMMER!  Well, I
ain't hit my wife with a hammer in days, I'll have you know!

AGAIN I failed to place a smiley!  Sorry!  Hope I didn't do that TOO many
times!  Someone might think I'm serious!

I totally understand; I love to write.  One thing that at first puzzled
my wife-to-be when I first started writing her, is that I would introduce
characters that I was working on, and made it appear as a dialogue as if
I and the character were both talking to her.  She caught on pretty
quick, but her mother thought it was quite odd
