I'm very flattered. Thank you. On 8/5/2003 at 12:55 PM a whisper was heard, and the one known as TechRose@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx was rumoured to have uttered.... | Wyatt, | | I appreciate your attitude. It is such an attitude that will | make your | children better people as adults. | | It is also such an attitude that displays what we like to | think of as the | American Spirit. While I am very patriotic, I believe it is a | display of | what is best in the Human Spirit. Taking Lemons and making | Lemonade is one | thing, planting those seeds for more lemons is yet another. | | You have exceeded that. Thank you..not just for reminding us | how lucky we | are to not having to endure such a tragic event, but for | reminding us that | good is a possible outcome in all events. It is our | responsibility to find | the good and bring it to fruition. | | Hugs, | Rose | ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Wyatt M.

A guy who heats with wood | suddenly has | access to prime firewood that ordinarily would be hard to come | by. Not | many trees here (speaking as someone who lived on the Blue | Ridge and | Appalachian mountains most of his life) and the availability | of firewood is | negligible and the quality poor most years. The loss there | will be put to | good use by others. | | After every "disaster", there is a renewal. We will plant | again and, while | the trees will never get that big again in my lifetime, they | will be nice | in a decade or two. The room that was damaged will be wired | better and | have three inches more ceiling clearance, new paint, and new | carpet. Some | kids who ordinarily don't have to do much hard physical labor | got a good | taste of the same that will give them a little perspective the | next time | they gripe about their chores. Life is good. | | On 8/5/2003 at 10:46 AM a whisper was heard, and the one known | as jo was | rumoured to have uttered.... | | | thank you very much all who have contributed to | | this topic - we islanders | | envy your space but not your weather - can some | good come from | | these natural | | disasters ? | | | | my guess is "what isn't broken is strengthened" | | | | we wish this for those who have suffered | | | | jo and friends | | | | | | | | To unsub or change your email settings: | | //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk | | | | To access our Archives: | | http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ | | //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ | | | | For more info: | | | //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk | | | ********* And So It Was *********** | | To unsub or change your email settings: | //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk | | To access our Archives: | http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ | //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ | | For more info: | //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk | | | | | To unsub or change your email settings: | //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk | | To access our Archives: | http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ | //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ | | For more info: | //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk ********* And So It Was *********** To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ For more info: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=pctechtalk
