MSB, Christine has indicated to me privately that she needs to take a break from the abuse heaped on her recently by some of the posters here, and I can't blame her. It is evident, by the 23,000+ posts, that she inspires people to discuss topics are sometimes controversial. That is a lot for one person to keep track of without taking a break. She, like most of the rest of us, has a busy 3D life, also. I would like to thank her for what she has done so far. Miss penni also has my admiration for her tireless contributions at SI. I burn out after about an hour of this stuff. Del

Sorry, Mike, for disappearing. I went totally away from the computer, except for that one little message that I wrote to everyone. As much as I love to correspond with people by email and private message (and you are one of my favorite correspondents), I basically stayed out of the room the computer is in for a week, because I did not want to be tempted. I knew that if I hung out around the computer, I would eventually be right back on it, and so I was very strong and determined and just stayed away. Anyway, I kind of got caught up on the stuff which was getting out of control. I must admit that I did not finish cleaning the mold off all the shower tiles, but I did part of them. I am planning to do a little bit every day until it is totally done. Somehow, housework is harder in middle age than it was when I was in college, and cleaned apartments off campus all summer in 110 degree heat. I do remember taking all of my clothes off sometimes while I scrubbed very hard and listened to Rod Stewart songs on the little transistor radio I had. It is fun to make money wearing nothing at all without doing anything illicit!! Thank goodness my boss never dropped by!! But doing a whole shower was no big deal when I was twenty. Now I really don't have the inclination or drive to do housework at all. My husband wonders how I can stand to see any mold in the shower, but I have become quite adept at not even noticing it!! So, anyway, I'm back!! I have quite a few messages to catch up on, but I will try very hard to do it quickly.
