He's also the author of <A>Blue Like Jazz</A>. He's a very gifted writer.<BR/><BR/>I'll try plants again, given your pointers.

Gosh, nobody has offered to do such a nice thing for me since Terri, my high school gym partner. <BR/><BR/>I couldn't do sit ups, so she did hers while I held her feet, then we switched places and she did mine. In return, I climbed the ropes twice because she was afraid of heights. <BR/><BR/>Doris, the gym teacher, who was really a man, never noticed.<BR/><BR/>Katrice,<BR/><BR/>What a great idea for a children's book since so many kids don't have fathers. And that's so very sad.<BR/><BR/>I think the secret of growing plants is to acknowledge them in your thoughts as living beings and not just decorations. Of course you need to know their light and watering requirements, too. Like anybody, they give back love when they are loved.heartinsanfranciscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535397382991383931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29674249.post-1162795349803844332006-11-05T22:42:00.000-08:002006-11-05T22:42:00.000-08:001.

I'm learning to like some of it. Only the mild stuff though. I'd much rather taste it on someone else's lips than on my own.<BR/><BR/>4. Your comment reminds me of a book Kwesi is reading called <A>To Own A Dragon</A> about a boy who's concept of having a father around was much like the notion of owning a dragon. I can relate to your situation.<BR/><BR/>5. If they venture indoors, they must die.<BR/><BR/>6. Try as I might, I can't keep plants alive for long.<BR/><BR/>7. I can't swallow pills either.<BR/><BR/>8. I am bad about keeping up with it, but the toes being polished is far more necessary. I'm more prone to wear clear on the fingers.<BR/><BR/>9. Aren't storms exciting? I used to listen to news radio all night as a teen whenever there was some sort of advisory. Mostly to see whether school would be closed.katricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08336539038616743309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29674249.post-1162784994796130582006-11-05T19:49:00.000-08:002006-11-05T19:49:00.000-08:001.

I used to wait 2 weeks to wear my clothes for the new school year because I didn't want to be like the rest of the dorks sporting the new gear that always ran out before people tired of keeping track.<BR/><BR/>2. Makes perfect sense.<BR/><BR/>3. I'll drink your share. It's the least I can do. Not a smoker either...ever. <BR/><BR/>4. This breaks my heart because my dad's admiration of me is palpable. I'm so sorry you didn't have this. Every girl needs her daddy's love.<BR/><BR/>5. While I respect your respect for life, this cracks me up.<BR/><BR/>6. My only bad haircuts have been the one's I've given myself. I learned to swallow pills because the thougth of tasting crushed medicine or liquid medicine makes me nauseous. One of my weird things is that I salivate profusely and become nauseous in the meds aisle of the drug store.<BR/><BR/>8. Same. Exactly the same.<BR/><BR/>9. Me TOOOOOOOO!!
