We were talking about the opposite meanings of the word "cleave" -- which, when you think about it, means both to cut apart (as in "cleaver") and to join together, as in Genesis 2:24: "Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall become one flesh." A professor up in Canada explained that this verse was intended as a warning against young men, that they weren't supposed to hang around their parents' house until they're 37, but get out of there and find some where else to live and someone else to take care of them :<)) I thanked him and told him I'll warn my son, before it's too late! (DS, my first-born, is still here with me - no empty-nest syndrome over him, yet! :<)) Ricki Utah To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
