wow! so much fan mail for one night! thanks! you all inspire me, too. i thought about skeptotamus's name the first time i saw his posts. i like people who prove what they think by being a bit skeptical. unfortunately, i fall apart around people like that. trying to prove a point with many facts isn't my forte. usually take one or two and wield them around.
mayla, you are a very sharp teacher and kind and thoughtful, too. your students must like you, too. same for pianobabe_56. wish i could take up that offer of janice's for a party at ludwig's castle. am sure there are things we could share about teaching, playing, and just life in general.
bob, you are a star!
thalbergmad, because you bicycle, i have to be your number one fan. but, bouter-boogie probably cooks better than i do. i used to entertain, but on account of three children have toned it down to spaghetti, pizza, and chicken dishes. my best dish is lasagne with lots of basil and oregano. (kinda basic cooking) i am, however, the worlds best bread baker.
ps am looking for a southern peach pie recipie
furiousfingers, i don't understand. is this on a scale of 1-10? ok. i'm probably too old. but, my mind won't accept my age and therefore i insist on being at least an 8.
siberian husky, thanks for the 'doesn't smell like cabbage.' and stevie for the 'wild tangents,' but it helps me to reign in my posts. i like 'fun and friendly.' it's good to get realistic feedback.
ps speaking of smells and that makes me think of a cologne tester that came in a magazine. it's called d'lu and is for men. i scratched the test spot and fell on the floor overcome by the thought of a man wearing this. unfortunately, my husband cannot wear cologne (allergic) and so i continued sniffing on the kitchen floor and looking at the stud supposedly wearing it. this is what mid-life is like, ok.
