Hugs, Jen view Jennifer's profile | Ping Jennifer Sandi S., Sep 23, 2009, 11:16AM EDT There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life - happiness, freedom, and peace of mind - are always attained by giving them to someone else. - Peyton Conway March view Sandi's profile | Ping Sandi Mark Jepsen, Aug 24, 2009, 3:07AM EDT I remember the mercury went above 100° once briefly when we were living in Redmond. It still wasn't all that bad 'cuz the humidity wasn't high, but I remember thinking "Wait? This is Seattle!

I'm sorry that you have to go through all of that bother with your neighbor. Some people just don't know right from wrong - or just change the rules of responsible people. After you read "Littluns" and comment on the book, I will ask the author Mark Glamack to contact you personally. view Simon's profile | Ping Simon Jan S., Aug 11, 2009, 2:18PM EDT Thank you so much for your comment on my posting "She Can Fly."
