Okay, now at least with that clarification, we know that you are worthy of 
being mentored.  <vbg>  The next important thing to understand, is that 
while it's okay to whine later on (after you've done it), it's not okay to 
whine during.  That means that you have to get very good at making faces, 
like Lucy does.  (though I really believe she is just imitating my horse 
but I haven't been able to figure out why?)

Uhhhh....well maybe you better not ask for my advice about that.  Not that 
I would ever try and deceive my doctor, you know, by like telling him that 
we were just going to go on a little camping trip over the weekend, and by 
the way we might bring along a horse and I might take that horse for a 
little ride......  <g>

Happy Trails,

Karen

blistered feet.....stitches, splinted arm, bad knee.....
