Rennie,<BR>
I seen your mention of Clarksville, you're not by any chance in Tennessee, are you?  Just curious, I spent a lot of summers with my aunt and uncle.  My uncle was in the Army and stationed at Fort Campbell for several years.  I loves the landscapes there.  Breathtaking....  I'd love to go back sometime.  Sorry for the ramble, especially when I have no idea if we're both refering to the same place!!  Thanks for stiring up some fond memories either way!!<BR>

Crying Shame---There is something pure, wholesome, and beautiful about rainbows.  They are one of the most genuine things in nature, and it's funny that this name came to me so quickly. Thanks for the pot of gold statement and the compliment of my poetry, it actually brightened my day amidst a sad yesterday.

Rainbow and Chances~ Had to go back and check my notes. Sorry for any confusion. "Great statement in What you don't see" was supposed to be for Rainbow. And for BOTH of you, "I am in your cheering section" ... with it so cold here, I had the shorthand version notes just written as "rainbow chances" here in my scribbled shorthand -- brain freeze -- please forgive me. I had been following both of you in subs and on the board as you deal with difficult situations. My heart goes out to both of you.<BR>
<BR>
Kase~ Indeed, I mentioned the Clarksville, TN you visited. A doctor at Fort Campbell's Blanchfield hospital saved my life, not once, but twice there (December of 1999 and March of 2000). So the area is very, very special to me. Semper fi to your uncle and family. Did they retire out there or settle in the area after service? ..... Rennie

I sincerely apologize for submtting the same piece three times. I am so arrogant I don't read my stuff before I submit it. I think it's flawless. Then I read it and realize it has a mistake and submit it again. Then I read it again and find another mistake. I think I should stop submitting things for awhile. Like Peter Fonda says in "Easy Rider," I need to get my thing together. Sorry. Bye. Kirk, if you have time and if it doesn't involve a lot of hassle, please delete my first two attempts. I don't know why it always takes me THREE times to get it right. Yuck.

Rennie--Thanks! It means a lot, your work is entirely awesome! And to have you compliment my work and to know that someone actually follows and believes in me and my work is outstanding especially at this in one of the worst periods of my life. Plus...another compliment...being confused with Chances.  That's saying something too! Thanks for all your kind words once again!

I like picturing you in your hat, shocking the bible-hugging conservatives.  I only wish I could be half as interesting.  Thanks for the entertainment!

Thanks, ladies. I appreciate the compliments. My mom bought me that hat for my Christmas trip to New York in 2001. I'll have Chris scan a picture of me wearing the hat and put it up at my site. When things are going well in my marriage we have a lot of fun. Chris cracks me up. He bought the "Cats" cd last night and he put on a necklace he bought from a quarter machine last summer. It's a silver $ dollar symbol on a black cord. We also have matching dead green beetle necklaces but we haven't worn those in awhile. <BR>

Misti~ LOL, we must be related with that editing ourselves deal on Blender. I believe all Blenderites just enjoy reading you any way that you manage posting. Seeing your edits is a good example of editing yourself for all to learn here. Dont' stop, slow down or go do other things .....

My Uncle was restationed to Florida, then retired after 22 years of service.  He and his wife moved back "home" to South Carolina and live very close to both sides of their families.  I would love to visit Clarksville again.  It used to be a running joke amongst us that we traveled "all the way to Kentucky" to get Kentucky Fried Chicken.  It was actually closer to go over the state line than to stay in Tennessee.  I'm glad you seem to be feeling better.  I've really enjoyed some of your works.  Thank you for blessing us here on the Blender with your talents!   <BR>
