I will say, however, that if you're really interested in pursuing a writing career, Laura, you might want to avoid ascribing unsavory motives to others. It tends to leave a bad taste in the reader's mouth.
Did I? Hm. And I thought I said that it never occurred to me that you'd be offended, Hazel. Nice. Putting words in my mouth and attributing motives to me that don't exist. Hell yes, I'm cranky and more than a little bitchy today. You would be too if your legs were tightly bandaged, causing you pain, and completely back to the swollen state they were in three months ago when you STARTED treatment.

I'm not part of MComm. (Since Lynn has all but accused me of conspiracy yet AGAIN to win in this matter, I feel it necessary to reiterate this yet again.) But I don't understand why so many have taken offense to their mission statement. It cracked me up when I first saw it because it's almost a direct quote from Superman's first interview with Lois. (I believe that's in Strange Visitor, but my tapes are dying, so I can't be sure if that's right.) Frankly, I'm shocked that y'all don't recognize it. I did, and I haven't watched first season in almost a year. (I prefer late second, third, and fourth seasons.)

And congratulations on your award, Laura, as well, although I suggest you delay your excitement until you actually have your scores in hand and see that you've really won.
I'm beginning to remember why I stopped hanging here. Even y'all's "congratulations" tend to leave a bad taste in my mouth. And yes, I've gotten my scores. My overall score was 250. And yes, I also refuse to post my feedback. I prefer to keep that to myself.

Laura
