I *did* end up telling Ben what happened--his main reaction was to ask if he could tell his 'main' teacher what had happened (his social studies teacher is very very pro-Bush but not his science teacher who is his homeroom teacher and whom he likes very very much [he just got his report card---he was making 100% in social studies until they started studying the election--so he now has 93%. He did make 100% in science though <g>.] He told her--and then also told her that I had made muffins as a reaction to it (I admit that is what I had done--I made banana nut muffins [the bananas were ready to go bad if they were not used anyway <g>] and he told me that she smiled at that and said "That Marlena--of course she would!". Yes, I have a new sign out...(since I know where to get them <g>) But, I do have one in my window now--thanks for the idea! (and it is good--the one on the yard looks sideways to each side--but the one in the window looks out--for the people driving upward and ready to turn--we live on a corner...and if you are driving upward, you cannot really see the sideways sign since I moved it closer to the house...) I am looking at both a security system (but the company owned by a friend has Bush signs on its lawn so I will not use the 'hometown security company' ) and the concept of a motion detector as was suggested... Missouri will be interesting in a couple of weeks. Even in KC they are expecting problems... Thanking you for caring, Marlena in Missouri ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
