...just decided to stop lurking for a while to say hello and what not. Dr.Williams: thank you for all of your advice about Big's cyst. the regrown cyst was removed a second time with great success and the stiches and all but invisible. both Big and Bartok thank you for all of your past advice. another topic: i have an idea for spreading the word to uneducated ferret haters. when sitting at my aprenticeship yesterday (at QED sorting fan mail to Mr.Rodgers) the suggestion pile caught my eye. i wonder if it would be a bad idea to write to children's shows... this way the young children would not dread ferrets thusly perpetuating the myth, but instead they would grow up with positive opinions (children also have a way of talking to adults about exciting new things). i just started working there, so i am a little frightened of bringing the topic up in The Neighborhood myself, but i know they take all suggestions into consideration that are written in. just an idea... one more thing: i just wondered if everyone who was not posting anon. could list the city they reside in in their signiture. i know that i am curious about people in my area, and a few other people have posted likewise. merry part, jon_anne, Bartok (lick...lick...lick...chomp!) and Big (crunch...crunch...lick...crunch...crunch) CMU, Pittsburgh [Posted in FML issue 1079]
