Dear Angela, If you are speaking about Roy Orbison, no, he is not blind; but he did have poor eyesight. Not sure if he has had any surgery to correct it or not. Glenda >You mean he wasn't blind ?

Dear Jim and the Mrs., Congratulations to almost 50 years of marriage ! That is just great ! When is your anniversary ? Glenda

Hi Marged, Now I never discuss politics ....... > Sorry - I never EVER thought Maggie was necessary. She is a jumped up, arrogant > upstart. Yes ..... But when Maggie first came to power ...... there was a need for somebody strong to get things sorted, just as Winston C during the last war ( World that is ). "Get the job done mate" as an old boss used to say. But they all outlive their support at some point , maybe "the grass is greener" syndrome, or here's my back please stab it? "Horses for courses" is what I say. Blair was elected - now we all complain - see what I mean ? Might as well elect a brick wall and have firing squads use it for target practice ... My personal beliefs don't come into it. Just elect somebody , then tear them to pieces. I like Bill Clinton , maybe his wife wears the trousers ( probably safer ) .........

Dear Jim, George Washington...he is the one who told the truth...unlike the current president of America who doesn't seem to know how to tell the truth.

Dear Marged, You said you would be out to work ! :( Here is another email for your mailbox...now aren't you glad you wanted lots ? Take care, Glenda

Dear Everyone, Thanks a lot for the help you are giving to me in learning about 'foreigners'...and their language(s)...whatever they may be ! :) Really enjoy this list and all the new friends I have been making...hope I will be able to contribute some- thing along the way ! Best Wishes, Glenda

Dear Everyone, Sorry I have been gone and gotten behind in the emails...I am working my way through all (over 200) the emails that came while I was busy with Thanksgiving, visiting and shop- ping. And for those I owe emails to from l o n g ago...I am working on those, too. So if it is a little weird getting answers to old postings... you now know the reason... Missed everyone ! so glad to be back again ! I was getting withdrawal symptoms :) Glenda
