The Helen that Laurel is talking about is the same wonderful lady that
Julie Johnson is running a raffle to help with her tremendous ferret
responsibilities. Please visit the site and see if you'd like to try
your chances for a prize.

helping hands video at the same site.

I had a small snake decide to try his chance in my house last summer.
I went out the front door with the kids; then about 15 minutes later
came back in for something and there he lay on my foyer floor... He was
dead.. and I dont' think he had a chance with 30 ferrets, 4 dogs, and 3
cats in residence. BUT the mouse who ate a whole bag of corn meal and
chewed through a tupperwear cannister lid has eluded live traps, cats,
ferrets, dog and was only glimpsed by the kids... Maybe there's a new
school for mice on how to invade and live with humans and their pets
without getting caught.. Ya think? LOL

And on the WEDDING topic. I really don't read them anymore. I read
the first few, but with very limited time I just don't read them
anymore, but I do think they are entirely appropriate and fun for
those who are playing with these dialogs. I forgot who said, "if you're
not interested skip it:" but I agree 100%. If you dont' want to read
something.. then don't, but don't rain on other's parade. On the other
hand - wanting to think the best of everyone.. I don't think she meant
to be hateful.. I think she was asking, saying she's confused.. I hope
that what's she meant.

Also, I miss Alexandra's stories and the chapter stories that several
people used to contribute to...
