Guest guest Posted November 6, 1999 Report Share Posted November 6, 1999 I didn't expect it to be an exhaustive list so please feel free to add any cute or obnoxious words you think. Knock yourselves out - I'll try to keep track but since I have to look at my Driver's License to figure out what my name is on most days, I make no promises! I have to share this - I went out tonite for the first time in four years and had a teenage babysitter, Yahoo, quite liberating, a new stage. Now , since I know you are keeping track, I just went to a local pub with three other women to practise our French (get your mind out of the gutter - language not kissing) Love and laughter, Mo, aka Mama, Mom, Mommy, Mommeeeeee At 11:42 PM 06/11/99 EST, you wrote: >From: Ron88Jen@... > >Ronda, >That reminds me....., our newest foster child asked us why ph has >those wires???
