wolfscreamer-  has it really been since september that you wrote something before shredded??? It doesn't seem that long- i think out of everyones work on here, i read yours, and i can actually feel what you are writing about.  not to sound incredibly cliche.  so when you tell me that something i wrote is superb - i hope you understand how much that means to me.

abogadalbny, about <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2006.05.13.20.46.11810">Is it okay to love the butcher?</a>:<BR>
<BR>
i don't know how i missed this one.  i've never thought money or status or anything ever had crap to do with love or with people for that matter. so some people can sling words together better than others, doesn't mean they live better or love better.  people are people whether or not they have a piece of paper saying they are a 'better' kind of people.

Darwin:  Thanks for the comment (about the butcher)!  I agree--just kind of threw that one out there --thought it might elicit some general discussion on love/relationships, etc---anyway, it was just what I was thinking at the time--not a general discourse on who I really am.
