Guest guest Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 Thanks Gloria for your clear expression. Sorry if what I said was off mark and hurt your feelings in any way. I get carried away with the fun and humor of it all. By the way, like you, I also think highly of Clinton as well. We had surpluses in the budget for a while! I also think highly of Hillary and Monica. I really really do. Honestly (with a captial H). They are all beautiful people, but went through some tough times. Well, who doesn't? Just life happening! Like Big Bob, I feel sorry that we are wasting the precious resources of this earth. Hopefully, a renewable and nonpolluting source of energy will be developed in the next 20 years. Thanks for the beautiful poetry Mace and Al. Thanks God, for everything. I have a few complaints but don't want to upset you anymore than you already might be! :-). Anyway, you know what you are doing! Right?
