Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Lynda, You certainly have been doing this for a very long time. My wish is to be able to get back to what I once LOVED to do. Sometimes I wonder if that will ever happen. Things change so quickly and I've forgotten so much over the last four years. I feels so unfair doesn't it?Lynda <coss@...> wrote: I started in 1990 and my group has been going since 1991. It has been a long haul.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Unfair, absolutely, but it has been so long, i have forgotten what fair is. Anyone who ever thought life was fair should look at our world history for a few minutes. Lynda At 07:42 PM 7/12/2005, you wrote: >Lynda, > >You certainly have been doing this for a very long time.
