I love Snopes. Actually that's a huge relief. It was good news of the bizarre, but I did not like the idea of somebody dying like that as a joke. As a story, it's good, though. Now I can picture it without feeling horrible. And start to embroider on it. Besides I kept wondering what happened to the hippo. Everything works out for the best.

I'm betting that's her with the possessed cats. I loved the Hippo article. I'm going to have to send that one out to a few people. Can't believe you've lived this long on dial-up, Jenny. After having high-speed, I scream whenever I have to use a computer with dial-up. Congrats! Isn’t Krissie a quilter? I’m betting that’s her with the possessed cats.

You'll wonder how you ever existed without it. Please tell favorite author/award winning quilter that I LOVE that quilt. My grandma used to do them, gorgeous ones so plump they could get you through a winter in the Dakotas. My aunt, her oldest daughter, still does it; and canning as well. You ain't lived 'til you've had homemade bread and butter pickles. Jenny, congratulations on the new high speed system. You’ll wonder how you ever existed without it.

Those cats are possesed and that article - yeah, left me a little speechless. I agree with OH - we need a few more details on the short story/producer thingy. Last time I sent e-mail address changes the only e-mail I got back was "Do I know you?" Happy 2007. Won’t even try and guess.
