Some flurries here too :( I see a light dusting now, possibility of accumulating 2-4" overnight and should be cleared up by tomorrow afternoon. I'm ready for spring, I want to see all my new cuttings grow and bloom, also my seedlings. Lets have Thanksgiving tomorrow, Christmas the next day, then make it spring again, OK? Shawn

Yes Brenda, let us know what happens. My bro is left handed and it was his left hand that was injured. If was very hard for him to keep the bandages clean. You use your hand for everything. After the surgery he had therapy on his hand. Good thing it's cold out because there will be no gardening for you for a bit. Good Luck! Jill

Wooops! Spoke too soon. ALL browsers are actually susceptible. Color me embarassed. But the page in BabyBlue's link didn't show such an option when I went to it. Now, to really disable this "feature" go to the below web page and you will see a link at the bottom: How to disable Click here to disable IntelliTXT. Click that link and it's off.

I was about 12 years old, and was taking a test in school, when the principle came to the door and said there was an incident I was involved in, and needed to come to the office. I had no idea what he was talking about. The teacher said as soon as I finished the test, he would send me. My mind went blank and I couldn't concentrate. I am sure I failed the test. I went to the office and when I got there, a little neighbor girl of ours, age about 6, was there and her older brother. (Small school...all grades in one building). The story was that when I was walking to gym class the day before, and walked through the recess yard where younger children were playing, I picked up this little girl's dress and looked at her panties and called her a "debbil". I didn't even know what a debbil was...I thought it was a bad word that I didn't know the meaning of. Later, I figured out she meant that I had called her a "devil". I don't know why that little girl said that. The idea that I would lift up her skirt to see her panties was mind boggling. But, she had said that...and told her parents, who called the school and, hence, I was in the princple's office being questioned about it. I was crying and I couldn't remember even seeing her the day before. Supposedly other kids saw it, so they were called in, and no one saw it. (Of course, because it didn't happen.) After about an hour, the principle told her it wasn't nice to lie and she had to appologize to me. She said, "I'm sorry Marilyn. I told a lie." I was so distraught and sick, I went to the bathroom and cried my eyes out. But, worse than that incidence...in '95, my husband fired a deckhand. To make a long story short, to get back at him, the deckhand got his girlfriend to say that her children had been out to our place, here on the bayou....we didn't live here at the time, and my husband had molested them. They filed charges...filled out a report several pages long that said they were out here every weekend for 6 weeks, swimming nude in the bayou and riding horses. No one rides my horses...not even me. They aren't broken. Even tho our place is remote...there is a lot of boat traffic on the bayou in the summer. This is MY place...at the time, my husband hardly ever came out here because he was working, but I was here every day. We didn't even know the woman or the kids. Later they tried to recant, but the charges couldn't be dropped. It took 15 months and cost us $60,000. Now, if that won't give you a sorry outlook on the human race, nothing will.
