Oh dear ! Well, I'll take your word for that, but yoiu seem, for the most part, to have more common sense, than an awful lot of FREEPERS do. :-)

BLESS U FOR SAYING SO!

I have TRIED AND PRACTICED . . . A LOT . . . AND PRAYED . . . A LOT . . .

AND HAD LOTS OF HARD KNOCKS LESSONS in LOTS of schools of hard knocks!

If you care to bother with the bunny story . . .

Mother left me bawling my eyes out the first day of school in the first grade. Never been to any school but Sunday School before.

First task is to color the outline of a bunny. Teacher said: "I don't care HOW you color the bunny. But once you have started, color all the bunny the SAME WAY."

Fine. I thought I could manage that. Then fate struck and something possessed me to color the bunny in all black curly cues. The teacher was FURIOUS. She had MEANT that once one started back and forth with the crayon--one must go back and forth THE SAME DIRECTION for the whole of the bunny. Sure enough, of all the bunnies posted around the top of the room, mine was the only one with curly-cues.

Story of my life. Sigh.
