I don't have Robbie's e-mail address. He'll take it as a snub that I haven't sent him a New Year's greeting, even though I've spent the last hour looking for it. -- Mark Wallace ____________________________________________ The AWT-Files The real world is out there! http://www.steveospage.com/whatthe ____________________________________________ > I don't have Robbie's e-mail address.

(Drove 885 miles yesterday to get home.) Mark and I are reunited. (He's still wrong about cleft sentences, BTW.) I received the greeting, Mark, and run it whenever I have a spare moment. To one and all -- may you get what you want, and not what you deserve, in this new year. SignatureRobbie >> > > I don't have Robbie's e-mail address.

That'll be the day! Welcome back, and make sure that your car gets some rest after that 885 miles, too.

In some areas here, "put away" is a polite euphemism for "put down", something a vet (veterinary surgeon) does to loved pets when they get old and sick. Another is "put to sleep". Wet or dry, try to avoid it personally. And a prosperous suburbia to you, Liebs.

Animals are put down or put to sleep.

Animals are put down or put to sleep. Vet: I'm sorry, I'm going to have to put your dog down. Owner: Why? Vet: He's too heavy for me. m. >I don't have Robbie's e-mail address.
