    You summed her up beautifully, and in just a few words...

    Yes, and I also wonder if I might rue the day should I, by some celestial mistake, find myself transmuted into an angel!
    No need to worry, I guess I just blew it a minute ago with my post. :-)

    Such a precision wth words. You've said more with your handful of words than I could in so many paragraphs.

    I like snippets that cover a whole area nonetheless. Pretty tricky to try for most....(me!)

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
