    Oh Dana, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. What a long battle he had. I'm so glad he doesnt have to suffer any more. The coming days will be hard, but take comfort in the fact that he is in a better place and you will see him again. I will be thinking of you.

    Thats the book I was looking for at the library the other day and couldn't remember the name of the book its about Goldie Hawn right? A lotus grows in the mud. It is one that I would like to read and was wondering if it is any good?

    Zippy..that book A Lotus Grows in the Mud...weird name but now that I know it's Goldie Hawn..it makes sense. I watched her on Saturday Night Live when it started..she was so
    funny and I have always admired her..and yet, as with Martha Stewart (had her book called Just Desserts) never got around to reading it and probably won't even with Goldie
    Hawn..don't really know why..just that the True Crime is first choice. Now that you have mentioned Torey Hayden..she sounds really good.....:)

    Thanks so much for accepting my friend request. While I have you here, I was wondering . . . would you be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here (as well as on a few other book-related sites). I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

    Thanks,

    Hi Zippy..I have three holes in one ear and two holes in the other...I love odd numbers but wasn't willing to add more so 5 was good for me. No tattoos, not that I would NEVER
    get one but so far haven't had the desire. My girlfriend has one on her ankle..a flower and its really pretty too. I think you said that you have tattoos as well...some are just
    AWESOME....:)

    Hi Zippy...I read what you wrote about your growing up years...and boy, that must have been a challenge...sounds like you got an A+ in maturing into a well-grounded positive
    adult. And yes, bullying will always be around as long as they can GET AWAY WITH IT! I think there should be a LAW written in congress disallowing anyone anywhere to try
    this horrible bullying...is there any group that you know of that could get something like that done?....:)

    Hi Zippy...wow you sure have a lot to do and your parents must be beeming with pride because you are taking such good care of them to ensure that they have the best
    their recovery! You must have a strong constitution Zippy...that is very brave. So many people ignore their families needs and try and pass it on to someone else. I can understand
    the load one has to take on but we all need to be there for our families. God Bless you Zippy...and take good care....:)
