Hey! I just figured out the Liz Young game.
It is really for ME to show how twisty my brain is by making things I've done fit a question! liz young in rainless california Diana Curtis wrote: Everything counts. :-) Something told me you had worn a Carmen Miranda hat..

Interests other than quilting/fabric fondling/S.E.X: Reading Pet peeves: Drunk drivers who kill innocent people and then plead 'not guilty' as if driving drunk means it's not their fault.

Drive A: 2000 Silver Honda CRV Favorite Quote: The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. |

I empathize with you on the drunk driving. I was on jury duty Friday.
A young girl had run off the road and hit a utility pole. Fortunately, no one else was involved and she wasn't injured badly. Her alcohol level was over the legal limit. She pled not guilty and her lawyer tried a lot of fancy double-talk to confuse the issue. We found her guilty and gave her the maximum fine and 3 days in jail. I think she was in shock. But the jury all thought she was really lucky. It's much better for this 'nice' girl to spend a few days in jail and maybe keep her from killing someone or herself next time. -- Sherri G in Kentucky http://community.webshots.com/user/sdgodfrey "Valerie in FL" wrote in message news:c9Nmb.71098 | | Name: Valerie | | Home: Pembroke Pines, FL | | Pet peeves: Drunk drivers who kill innocent people and then plead 'not | guilty' as if driving drunk means it's not their fault.

"Nannie Goat" did not bother me as much as it did my Mother. In the past
posted from VA where we lived until 2 years ago - posted once in awhile - don't read newsgroup everyday. Have asked for help a few times and received very helpful responses. Is "griffinsflight" from Harry Potter? I am reading last Potter book. Great group! Mary in S.A. :-) |

No, my daughter thought it up! We collect gargoyles and griffins, and needed
a name for our web domain, and she came up with that one. Pretty cool, huh? -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply "QuiltiM" wrote in message ...
