Dear Mike, Well I`m feeling a lot better now, as yesterday I found a new friend on the List, a lurker who wrote me privately to buck me up. So now I have a new phone buddy!! She is Kay, from Virginia, and Boy, do we have a lot in common: both from Idaho, both divorced, love animals, permanently ill, in our fifties, grandmas, and so on. We yakked for an hour last night. So I guess every depression has a sunrise at the end of it! I`m also glad that the beautiful Barbaro is still with us, and maybe, just maybe he`ll survive. Amazes me how attached I got to some critter I`ve only seen on TV, but being a horse lady I`m like that. (Maybe it is because he looks so much like my horse did.) From now on I won`t write anymore unless someone needs my directions for making CS, so you won`t have to get mad at me. Love ya!!! Marshalee
