No apologies necessary LMo! Funny thing is I NEVER even thought of THAT until you brought it up! And being a nurse and especially having done a lot of private duty cases..........................................Oh, the stories I could tell! But I won't, don't worry!

bptoo: I still secretly suspect that "Heather" is her screen name only, you know, like what she's always wanted to be called? And her real name is something like Gertrude (sorry to any Gertrude's out there who like their name, but keep reading.) My name is Valerie, which I think is okay, if not a little boring. But hey, my great-grandmother was named Agatha so thank goodness my mother wasn't that cruel! On the other side of the family my grandmother and her daughter were named Calagitta!!!!! My aunt went by Carrie and my grandmother went by Lena. Oh, those wacky Italians!

Sometimes I lie awake at night in bed and I ask, "Is it all worth it?" And then a voice says, "Who are you talking to?" And another voice says, "You mean, ' To whom are you talking?'" And I say, "No wonder I lie awake at night."--Charlie Brown </font color=purple>
