John told me it was a broom left outside the door! He lived in Malta for a while - his younger brother was born there. Don`t think he was a "child from God" though - but he did look very much like Roger Moore!

Did the local priest look like "The Saint" as well? ;-)

Nice!

I'm generally exhausted this week, I went back to work for first time in 12 yrs and my kids went back to school. I'm commuting the 8 miles to work by bicycle, and this area is not flat. On top of learning a new job, getting my body adapted to new activies and new sleep pattern, I had a night of total stress because I got a message on my answering machine from my GYN's office which I was unable to return until the next morning. I knew that the ONLY reason they'd be calling was an abnormal PAP, so spent the night trying not to freak out over what that might mean.
KCat, you seem to be a decent sort, and I'm having a bad week in general. I had been trying to stay away from the hot topics here, because when I express myself I tend to be sarcastic, and people tend not to see it as sarcasm, but something nastier.
I'll do my best to ignore Jaenne, jBl (who btw, sent me a one sentence email calling me something very nasty) and a few others.
Caryn
Best thing with that is to report him to his server, Caryn - no need to put up with that.

Reminds me of an Amazonian tribal legend I was taught in college. They believe dolphins come onto the land at night and disguise themselves as the woman's husband to mate with them, thus explaining why the offspring doesn't look like the father.
The really sweet part of the story to me is if the child is born with a birth defect or retardation, they consider it to also be from the dolphin and they treasure and look after the child as if they were a magical creature. Very forward thinking for a "primitive" Amazonian tribe, isn't it?
Jaenne
Actually, it seems that it was nothing. PAP was flagged because of presense of cells usually found during one's "flow" and since I had it
9 days after start of flow they figured it should have been past being an issue. Unfortunately, such was not entirely the case.They said to keep an eye on my cycles, if anything goes off course to call them immediately and they'll run the test they chose not to run at this point.
I was much relieved, but could have used for the whole thing not to take until next day to resolve! Bad timing too, with all the other stuff happening all the same week!

Well, it`s still a standard joke here, Mirjam. "It must have been the milk-man!" is often said!

There is none as far as I am aware, KC
Tis just "SOP" for the Rat Pack when they are challenged
Yep, an' you will find it can take some time to solidify an assessment. A wily bunch is the Rat Pack ;->
IOW you do not *know* or *subscribe* to that reasoning Okrazy0ne,,, simply mouth the words to "buddy up" ?
uh uh ...the double switch whammy will not work with me, dearest 'Caryn':-~ I know much much more than that about you (and others). Now that I say that you will drag out the "stalker" tag, making your points paradoxical. Well, true to form, you can add that to the bitter twisted 'Ad hominem' you bunch of dragons hold as speculation, in your efforts to dominate threads/opinion with your own insular viewpoints.
If all I achieve is to bring out the bared teeth and lip curl of the Hyenas, in drawing the poison inherent within the collective characters of the mob you run with, I have done my job. Its as important a service as supplying any FAQ, and as just as relevant knowledge as that contained in any FAQ , for the newbie.
..always with a bemused grin of course :->

Balderdash! As policy - for many years - I do not subscribe to email for the Usenet environment. What I have to say is said publicly. The unique arena of Usenet allows that. IOW,, I have *no need* to email. IF such a need arose, on the rare occasion anyone was to receive email from this source, that mail would be PGP signed and the key published in the forum the email initiated from. Dats de rooles.
In your constructed deviousness you simply reinforce the very attributes I have assigned you in evaluation. You have absolutely no idea on how Usenet works, despite years of dribble posted out here. Publish the full headers - no body - of this ghostly email, and just maybe I or others can help you with doing something about it - if the claim is at all true. Somehow I reckon I am reading your response right now ;->
My commiserations for your State of Mind.

You still do not understand..! :-/ Here, I will tell you what to do. Yahoo is capable of displaying email with full headers. There is a toggle in the options to do just that. You may have to have "text enabled" as well, IF you do HTML mail. Which, btw , you would not do IF you knew *anything*. When you have the email and headers sitting in the screen, drag your mouse through all the text and do a C&P to a text editor or straight into Netscape.
Then delete the actual B O D Y of the message. As the email is not from me, and it *is* bad etiquette to publish private email without consent, you risk the factor of upsetting whoever did send the mail. You do not want to compound the trouble you have already started? :-/
The headers alone will tell one and all the origin of the mail.
..and *your* point is??? Quit with the waffle and come up with the goods. You do your own head no good with this BS carry on. For me there is no worries, I know what I am responsible for and I stand by it.

Yes, we still have home delivery milkmen, although I think that a large proportion of people buy it from the supermarkets these days - it`s fresher and keeps fresh for longer.
Our postman is actually very nice!!!

Thanks, Jan - I downloaded the Chinese good luck one, too.

don't forget Southern Crackers - term referring to certain types of residents of the Southern US. I could be way off base on this, but to me it means residents who go back many generations (i.e. no Snowbirds or transplants from the North) and usually live in a rural setting. Have their own language patterns, food likes etc. Very friendly and hospitable folk.
I totally understand your need to lie to people here, afterall, nobody wants the world to know what evil lurks within.
I can forward the entire message from my yahoo email address for this group to see. Thus exposing the truth, and your real email address.
I don't really see the point, people here know I'm honest, if obnoxious. While they don't know anything about you at all do they?
Caryn
Well I know you`re honest (sometimes too honest! ;-)) Caryn and I know that I have killfiled "Budgie". Can`t put up with his/her hysterical outbursts. Needs a psychiatrist, IMO, and is probably suffering from a complex because of being descended from a long line of Transportees.
