Hello everyone, Good topics, I had not known of the term pow wow and the practice. i just want to note a very interesting happening to my 3 year old son, 40 years ago. (Whoops, where did those years go?) I took him to a doctor for some reason, and while there, she noticed that he had a wart on his hand. She gave him a penny and said that she was buying the wart for her garden. She told him that everyday, he was to "tell the wart that the doctor wanted it for her garden." In a short time, it was gone. True story. I hope that you are all warm, I shoveled snow this morning in Pittsburgh, but it's not too cold, 28º. Nan Surnames: Hoos, Krach, Rafaloski, Redman/Redmond
