Thanks very much Hopper.  Always nice to get "fan mail". I appreciate your remembering my case and its details. This is very much like a classroom situation for me and it’s my pleasure to contribute if I can – glad you welcome my posts. I’m not sure where you live, but Canada is really cool, and by comparison to the States, very cheap.  Montreal is a great city and I have been to Vancouver – lovely, very Seattlish I think – very wet Western style, not at all like Alberta and the Prairies, which I really love from a geographic point of view.  You can think of the geography of the place going from North to South in the U.S. – there is a uniformity of geography and to some degree, climate. So, the Rockies and valley/desert area goes all the way down to Mexico.  The mid-west with the Prairies, extends all the way into places like North Dakota and Montana.  The natural geography is basically from North to South. take care Squiggles

Montreal is an AWESOME city! When I was still living back east I used to go every now and then.  Since moving to the prairies I’m continually amazed by how much sky there is here… really beautiful once you get used to the overall flatness of the place .   : ) I’m hoping to go to Montreal/Quebec City when  I go home over the holidays. cate

Oh I suppose I get too involved and form commitments Im basically very fond of of the people here even  when they are sometimes ghastly… I think maybe I sometimes help to make things better even if I I seem to sometimes make it worse Some people find me supportive and I have had much support with my bouts of depression. Ultimately I think the group is a force for good  maybe especially when it seems the reverse. regards, Bob – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Hopper

Go away, Satan. You are not needed in this group … you are not even bipolar, are you? What are you, anyway? Why are you even posting here? You are the abuser, Linda Gore — you are vicious and vindictive, attacking a supportive person who has done nothing but spend her time helping people while all you do is attack … hacking and slashing … calling them Hitler. Well, YOU are the Antichrist of Usenet. How does it feel? —
