Wow! What a great meeting last night! It's always so beautiful to see folks from all different walks of life come/pull together in a time of crisis.

    Amen "
~When I hear a funny joke I will not reply, "LOL... LOL!"
~ I will stop sending e-mail, ICQ, Instant Messages and be on the phone at the same time with the same person.
