Dodie, Nancy and Benita - You three gave such kind and thoughful responses to Cheryl regarding her pregnancy and her ferrets. Your posts were a joy to read, and all three contained very good suggestions. Thank you for that!! Cheryl, these ladies gave very good advice. I hope all goes well for you as your family grows!! Be well, Star ===== In the best of times, I hold in my mind the need to care for things beyond the self: poetry, humanity, grace. In other times, when it seems difficult merely to survive and be happy about it, the condition of my thought tastes as simple as this: let me be a good animal today. -Barbara Kingsolver, "High Tide in Tuscon" ~*~*~ http://foxfoot.tripod.com/ [Posted in FML issue 3890]
