I used to be JulieReneB. My computer officially had a near-death experience 2 weeks ago and has been in heavy rescusitation efforts since. I'm on an antiquated machine just this side of a manual typewriter and when my computer tried to kick the bucket apparently Lit-Id decided I wasn't alive anymore. It wouldn't even allow JulieReneB to resubscribe. So I've just become resubscribed under a never-used address.... to read this?? Geeze, guys. My 10 year old has been a vegetarian ever since it dawned on her why "chicken nuggets" were so named. My greatest pleasure is a paper thin slice of red-rare rib roast slathered in salt. I'm wondering if petri-grown pig would be kosher for Jews. If I ever get reconnected with the Real World (i.e., something faster than a 32 baud modem) I'll send a post explaining my abscence properly -- simultaneously with the computer problem my kiddos and I went on a road trip with my folks. Grieving that the Olympics are over and grateful to hear you folks converse again.
