LOL. For several years, I've done free lance editing, but I've never made enough consistent money out of it in a given year to dignify it with the name "profession." I stopped accepting editing jobs about a year and a half ago (no time.) Now it's occasional, and for friends. Some of my "editing" is more like ghostwriting, truth be told. (I no longer believe that the author of anything I read is the individual whose name is at the top...<g>) Here's a piece of spam with a couple of potentially good words: From Subject Received Size Kathleen Boyle mating ritual 1445 onlookers Fri 8/27/2004 8:33 PM 5 KB I don't open these things up, I just edit/copy the subject line, of course. I really have to go, but will post some seed lines (to borrow Poet's phrase) later, if I get some stuff done. (I'm not a poet, but I can play word games!)

''I loved the script,'' Winslet recalled, ''but I'm not sure Johnny even knew my work.'' She laughed at the memory. Winslet was calling from her car, which was parked outside her house in London. ''This is the only place I can get any privacy,'' she explained. Just outside the car, her husband, the director Sam Mendes (''American Beauty''), entertained their 6-month-old son, Joe, while Winslet's 3-year-old daughter, Mia, played inside the house. Is it too long?
