Marie;

  we could get in really deeply and probably off topic BUT this remionds me of
the time I went into the hospital to assist a mother. stopped by the lc office
to chat and find out anything they cared to share about this women/baby etc...
was told in no uncertian manner that this mother was a back woods
ignormamus... WELL .. this tru mom lived in the sticks... BUT then again she
was a phd in something esoteric....
