Folks: Am passing this on as it just came to me. Sandi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CITIZENS ALERT from CitizensLobby.com An e-newsletter from http://www.CitizensLobby.com Scott A. Lauf, Executive Director Washington, DC USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ February 11, 2002 FBI ISSUES NEW TERROR ALERT The FBI issued late Monday night a new terrorism alert indicating a Yemeni national and several associates may soon carry out attacks inside the U.S. The FBI reports that credible information was gathered recently from al-Qaeda terrorists detained in Guantanamo Bay and in Afghanistan, which warranted this new warning. The FBI named one possible terrorist, the foreigner Yemeni called Fawaz Yahya al-Rabeei, who may have as many as a dozen accomplices. No targets or other information has yet been mentioned. Stay informed with CitizensLobby.com’s updates for new information ….

Gang: I sure hope tomorrow passes, not to mention all days, without another attack on our country or other places by the terrorists. I sure was surprised to learn the FBI released the caution. So, this is serious and I just pray all will be safe. Blessings, Sandi

My Niece, who is just 22 has been told she has the kind you mention. Do you take any particular med. for it? I am also on the couch a lot. Particularly on bad nights, I keep moving and keep hubby awake and he is grumpy then. Besides the couch rests better for me. Poor couch, just wore out.:) The bed is elevated for him and it bothers my back on bad days. Any idea what causes it? Jackie

Hi BF, Just thought I would let you know we had a wonderful time researching at the Clayton. It is a lovely facility and the folks there are very helpful. We did have great success on our "other" side of the family. We are Maupins through our mother and were working on our father's side on this trip. After putting together some research we had done in South Caroline, we were able to search out some leads at the Clayton and actually identified our great grandmother and both of her parents with several generations back from them! We had thought the names we had would be our patermal g great grandmother, but they turned out to be our g grandfather and by searching wills, we found out his wife's name, too. It was VERY exciting. We had to come home a day earlier than planned because I developed bronchitis and have been down with it since returning. I am anxious to go to the library here in San Antonio to see what else I can find about our new discovery. Thanks for the encouraging words about the Clayton. I think you blessed our trip!

Thought this was interesting-- Regards, Patricia Believe it or not but 8.02pm on February 20 this year will be an historic moment in time. It will not be marked by the chiming of any clocks or the ringing of bells, but at that precise time, on that specific date, something will happen which has not occurred for 1,001 years and will never happen again. As the clock ticks over from 8.01pm on Wednesday, February 20, time will, for sixty seconds only, read in perfect symmetry 2002, 2002, 2002, or to be more precise - 20:02, 20/02, 2002. This historic event will never have the same poignancy as the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month which marks Armistice Day, but it is an event which has only ever happened once before, and is something which will never be repeated. The last occasion that time read in such a symmetrical pattern was long before the days of the digital watch and the 24-hour clock at 10.01am on January 10, 1001. And because the clock only goes up to 23.59, it is something that will never happen again.

I guess third time is a charm. . . . Sorry for the blank emails cousins. I swear I don't do it on purpose. Yes, Jackie I have them. Muscle spasms that is. Sleep on the couch for various reasons; one is Fibromyalga which is arthritis of the muscles and tendons. When I got my new puppy (a one and one-half year old shi-itsu {ignore the spelling please, Pat}), I must have kicked him because he bit my toe. Now how can I blame him?

Has anyone in the family had much to do with muscle spasms? I have had them for years and have no idea why or what causes them or what I can do to stop them. They take spells of being better then they will get bad and actually leave bruises. I have asked the doctor and haven't gotten a straight answer. Jackie

(p.s. she's a fish?) Pat, does anything get past you? At one time I worked for a dentist. He would casually ask," Is Mrs. Jones here for her appointmen?" It took awhile before I learned not to say, "She hasn't come yet." I laughed so hard tears were running down my face when I was reading the "fairy" e-mails. Yes, I'm old as dirt. I remember all of them, plus paper dolls and " My Little Margie."

Usually I don't bother but a possible cousin from the Cherokee list emailed that she and her husband were watching the event in real time and said I couldn't miss seeing our Native cousins. Of course, one had to wade through a lot to get to see them and by then I was hooked so what the hay! Sandi

About willing them to me, she is just 10 years older than me and in better health! I fear she will out live me. But who knows, she may come around. At least I keep hoping so. I have talked to her husband and he seems to like me, I am hoping he can influence her somewhat. Jackie

Jackie, I bet all the Maupins would be interested in them. Have you asked her to will them to you? Better yet. How about a digital camera to picture them before something drastic could happen. Just a thought. Norma
