Allyson, due to my account acting up, insent a second time (if you got both mails, the second is such a copy of the first).

deb, if you need any help, my offer still stands (or, if you took me up on it last time, I'm afraid I didn't get anything, and sorry about that).

Mmm, yes, that helps. I wonder if the cliche where the father/guardian asks the young man if he can "support her in the manner to which she has become accustomed" existed yet then, because I can see James turning it on its head and pointing out that she'd be the one supporting him.

I'll have another go at it tomorrow morning. I just finished typing in my eight handwritten pages from the past two days before I got to the point where Sebastian and James clammed up on me. Almost 2000 words. Not too bad.

Nilly, I didn't send anything because I'd asked which account you wanted, and never heard back; last few times we had major hiccoughs, remember?

Which account?

Susan, goodonya. I need to finish the damned story today because I am itching to start Cruel Sister.

deb, sorry, I probably missed that.

Let's try the profile address, and I'll answer you from the university one as well, just to make sure things are OK. How's that?

You bet. Sending; it isn't done yet, but it's about 80% done.

Nilly, did you get it?

And Teppy, new topic today?

deb, got it, and the attachment opens as it should. Thanks.

I have to laugh..I'm trying to think how to finish my editorial and the Mayor pops up in quotes with "I had this whole section on civic pride."

I can't come up with a good topic. I have a file of suggested topics from people, but they're currently all "ending" topics, and I honestly don't want to go down that road this week, not after the election.

So -- any suggestions?

Mornings? Awakenings?
