Thank you very much, but right now, you wouldn't want me.  My son and  
grandchildren are all on medications for pneumonia, bronchitis,  
sinusitis, etc. right now.  And I am, too.  I'm sure that someone  
should put us all in a huge gunny sack and shake us up.  Maybe we  
would get rid of the germs.  I'd even consider an exchange student.   
I've even thought about it, but I would want one for the wrong  
reason.  We have an exchange daughter in Chilé who was here from  
1992-1993.  And even though we had lots of fun, and lots of bonding,  
and continue to communicate, it is still a lot of work.  (Don't let  
her hear me say that!)  And adoption would mean I'd have more  
responsibility...  Can't quite handle that right now, but thanks for  
the offer.  ;^)

I will have to check that out.  Most of the funeral homes around here  
do have websites, where you can leave messages for the family.  I do  
take advantage of that.
