Before this TW gets closed out, must let Qsilv know - your reference to Dick and Jane being boring cracked me up!

I LOVED Dick and Jane, and Spot the dog too! LOVED them all and did not find them the least bit boring, stupid maybe, but not boring.

Siblings and I thought it SO funny the way those stories repeated everything over and over, and the conversations were so rediculous we loved them too. We'd walk around the house talking like Dick and Jane and laughing our heads off. It drove our parents crazy.

(Wanders off scratching head because the light has finally dawned ... perhaps it was Dick and Jane that drove the family crazy! Tee hee )

marius: I echo your comments about Dick, Jane, and Spot of course. I think the best thing about them is they taught those of us who have "aged" a bit how to read when we were wee tots. That is something we can be thankful for and look back with fond memories of those "repeats".

Congrats Dragon.....I might be a little more involved this time around tho' not quite sure. Haven't crossed the T's or dotted all the I's, but it looks like our dream of a "home" is becoming a reality. It also is out in the "boonies" so we can maybe relax a little more from the "big little" city life we have right now. Looking forward to your wordlist..

Wow. I was really out of it last night (this morning, technically...) when I posted just before going to pass out, I didn't realize that Q must've posted while I was posting.

Congrats, Dragon!

Marius...I tell everyone, I do NOT want a cell phone. Period. I'm one of the only people I know without a cell phone. I really don't see a need for one, and I really, really hate most technology.

Thank you Qsilv (and everyone!). I'll get a new word list out shortly as soon as I have a chance to think of one.

As for cell phones I happily have one but only use it as a phone (and occacionally a camera when I don't have my real camera and see something I just have to show my sweetie) but I don't think kids should have them and I think they should be outlawed in schools and movie theaters (seriously, if your so important that you can't turn your phone off for 2 hours then you just don't get to go out to movies).
I have a friend who recently got her first cell phone and we were all absolutly agog when we found out, we thought she'd never get one. She had always said she just didn't need one but suddenly realized that every time she was out somewhere she was repeatedly asking her friends if she could use theirs and that made her figure maybe she did need one after all.

My other half finally decided he needed one, for when he needs me to pick him up somewhere. The problem is, he only turns it on when he wants to use it. If I want to get hold of him, i can't.

Aaahh, Login.. your Jack is a man after my own heart.. the 'phone is there for YOUR convenience, not anyone else's..

.. and Midnight.. one of the REALLY, REALLY good things about a mobile 'phone, is that you can call '000' or '999' (or whatever the emergency number is) immediately.. and that could mean your life, or your kid's or some stranger's..
