Hi Cheri! ======================================== Wait, we're guinea pigs???!!! You're not going to euthanize us when you're done with us are you? lol. ======================================== Did I forget to mention the guinea pigs part? lol. No euthanization, though. It's a no kill shelter. And lots of carrots. With my age... er... I mean eyes, I need them. lol ======================================== Will we get a grade? Will there be a test? I LOVE tests! Hate homework, though, will there be homework? Seriously, can't wait to get started. Thanks for selecting me for the first round...I'm not known for my patience! ======================================== Well - I think *I* am the one being tested, actually. lol. Or, my ability to teach what I do. You know that old saying about those who can, do - and those who can't, teach? I'm hoping to turn it around. First I proved I can do. Now I want to prove I can teach what I do. lol Homework. Err. Um. There will be some of that. But, with my odd sense of humor, you might not actually recognize it as such. I think learning should be fun. Which kind of means that you might sometimes scratch your head, but in the end, it all makes sense. As for patience, I have lots or none depending on who I'm talking to. There's people that I swear get on the very last nerve I have. But, I divorced them long time ago, so we're okay. (lol) Here, I have plenty enough to go around. I'll share. *wink* Linda

Hi Martha; ========================================= Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Linda for including me. I am so excited and can't wait to get started. I want to be successful and I know if I follow your advice I will finally get there. ========================================= You are very welcome. I have so enjoyed working with you. Especially when you challenged me on the white background comment. That was priceless. We're going to have fun... and everyone else can watch as you grow - so it's a win win all the way around. : ) Linda

Hi Linda, I am sooo excited!!! Thank you,Linda. I can't wait to get started. I am an empty bottle just waiting to get filled up. Your Good Friend Deborah

Awesome! Guess that means I have to clear all this clutter off my desk huh? I think this time I'll start with a clean slate and plate. No pre-concieved notions or ideas. ------------------------------------------- Peter wrote: Having worked next to Linda for as many years as I have I can honestly say that she practices what she preaches. I don't think you will always find everything easy, but attaining what you want shouldn't be, if it is to have the value and returns you seek. -------------------------------------------- I'll be raising the meaning of "Time Well Spent" to a whole new level! I for one am really looking forward to going back to school! Maybe this time I'll learn something! LOL

Linda, Thanks for this opportunity to work with you, even as a guinea pig. :) It is truly an honor. Looking forward to working with Cheri and the group.
