Grace Unto You And Peace,
Ms WS,

You have experience on both the original board and on this board. If you could "tell me where to go?" [Gentle humour!] I would appreciate it.

In other words, where on the venue do I go in order to set up a group?

Could I ask you questions on what to do, if and only if after reading the tutoring and instructions I am stumped as to how to proceed?

In other words would you act as a mentor and suggest the places where solutions might be?

Thank you for enjoying my dog. He is a precious companion. Did you do your photos, drawings, and crocheted items? Beautiful!!!

Good luck with your puppy. He will be a chewing beast. You will have to have great patience and great love. The good news, he will grow out of it!!!!

Tanker is 11. His hips are deteriorating. It is difficult to see him going down hill so quickly.

I always crated my dogs when I left the house until they were past that stage. I still crate them at night. They expect it and feel safe.

However, Tanker hated being in a crate and busted out of a metal crate with his giant head. Amazingly strong.

I got him because I wanted a big dog. I wanted a mastiff and my husband (now ex) told me that I could not have that big of a dog, so when he went out of town, I got Tanker. Tanker ended up being only 115 lbs. My ex traveled a lot and the kids and I were alone frequently. I felt safer with Tanker.

Tanker was very easy to train. I think I was lucky. My brother in law has English Bulldogs and they attack brooms and stuff like that. Tanker never did that.

You wrote on film. What did you write about related to film?

My dissertation is about reading but actually focusing in on the teacher. I will be looking at new teachers and how they use the knowledge that they learn in college and see how it transfers to the classroom (or if it even transfers to the classroom).

Hey WS, where did you grow up in Florida and where did you move to in Texas? I grew up outside of the San Antonio area and moved to Tally.

Okinawa? Wow...cool. Work or pleasure? I found the Einstein online a long time ago when I was researching something. The Artist has a website with a few cool layouts I used to use for Myspace, and he is a writer. I asked for permission to use his Einstein and he said yes I could use it where ever I want, but if I wouldn't mind to give him credit. I forgot his name right now ( It's been a while) but I will find it. ...So...Long time no see. You must be busy?

Hi there! I'm Gregg's fiance! This message is from Gregg-- he asked me to tell you that he was thinking of you and hopes you are well. He is without access to a computer until I get there! He hopes to be online soon. He's not very happy being without his friends so long. Have a great day!

Welcome home! I love the Japan pictures! I used to live in Okinawa when I was little. We must talk - and please share with us in FWO - I stated a "travel" discussion!

WS, I've never been to Okinawa. I had orders to go there in the summer of 69, but I transferred from the Air Force to the Army and got sent to Turkey instead.
I'm currently at my land (Farm) in WV trying to get my credit card and my Fed Income Tax paid down.

My official address is now Livingston, TX But It is too hot there. I'm back in WV sitting on my farm where I don't have to pay anything to sit. However, I'm bored. As soon as the credit card and Income tax payments are made(probably by Oct. I'll be back on the road.

Interesting update on your page

Greetings WS,

Things going well I trust. You might find this ammusing.

"particularly the green and purple ones - one with the undead standing in particular."

I'm colorblind. Not totally but few people are, that are. Everything I do is intuitive. In some progams I can just use hexi decimal color codes.
3-D texture programs, not so much. So you say I've used green and purple..
hmm, interesting, I was probably aiming for grey and blue.

"Also got a giggle about the ad on your Night Terror web site: (here's a screen shot) If you can see it the ads about sleep apnea!"

I uderstand why the robots put the Ad there. "Night Terrors" generally refers to the sleeping disorder, which, by the way, people used to claim were vampire attacks (a couple of hundred years ago of course). So the
robot thinks it's a site about sleep disorders, It might just be.

In response to your comment, it seems I rattled a few people with a question I posted on Q&A.

"New picture - what were you looking at when it was taken? "

I have no clue. Every picture I have of myself are candid shots.
I refer to them as surveillance footage for that very reason.
As in, this is what I look like when someone's trying to build a case.
In this one it was the fourth of July and I ended up with somebody's
two year old on my lap (edited out).

Wish I had known. I was off route 50 between Clarksburg and Parkersburg. One of the other TBD ers Came through the area and I met them at a diner on RT 50. I'm probably heading for Livingston, TX next week.

For my friend.

CWO3ROBBIE

Yeh, Thats a bummer, There is a diner on Rt. 50 about 12 miles from my farm. I could have met you there. I did meet another tbder there as she went through the area. Maybe next summer. I'm in the Atlanta, GA area now, headed for Livingston next week. You girls have fun in Vegas. I'll be looking in that section of USA Today that tells the scandals in each state to see if you make the news.

Chopping wood huh? Boy, I did that all my childhood and young adulthood on the family homestead here in Alaska. It was also dad's antidote for misbehavior. Can you split a piece of cooked spaghetti lengthwise down the middle:)?
