Good Evening Bluey! Thank you for pointing out my mischtook. I had a hard time getting it to look right, because of the way the address looked when I highlighted it, and when I first pasted it on AB, I had double the information! So I deleted and went back to try it again. Even the 2nd go-round didn't work, obviously. I knew you'd figure it out. Adoptions are tricky. I think the laws are more to protect the birth mother than anything else, and that's really unfair to the child. It's a sacrifice on the birth mother's part to give her baby a chance at a good life, if she's unprepared. But it doesn't always work out that way. I've been around some foster kids and the boy I nannied was adopted by his grandfather. In all cases, it's very difficult for the child to NOT feel abandoned and rejected. I don't look like my mother and my facial features are quite different from my father's. So I used to get fearful that perhaps I was adopted and ask my mother from time to time, "Are you SURE I'm yours?" Turns out I'm the spitting image of both my grandmothers! I just talked with a gal I went to school with. She's 3 years older than me, but in a small town, everybody knows everybody else. Her father died of Alzheimer's, I believe. Mom is still alive and in her late 80's or early 90's, going strong. Older brother died of bone cancer several years ago. This woman has had breast cancer and now she's diagnosed with diabetes, the kind children get! No other cases of diabetes in her family! I think her dad was a WWII vet and I'll bet he was exposed to asbestos. One of my first cousins married a WWII vet; merchant marines and navy. He battled kidney cancer and esophageal cancer before just giving in to an old body. His first daughter battled uterine cancer (right after the 2nd daughter died of breast cancer) and she had to have her thyroid removed because of a tumor. The boy is in need of a double lung transplant, which will kill him eventually if he gets it. If he doesn't, he's dead anyway. He almost died the beginning of February, as he somehow was disconnected from his oxygen and was unconscious. He was in the hospital the whole month and into March before he could come home. All 3 kids were born with birth defects, and that just doesn't exist on that side of my family! I think the dad was exposed to asbestos in WWII! I listened to "Sailing." It has a melancholy tone and is quite repetitive. As a song, I can't say I like it. Dan's vocal is rough at the beginning, but I sure enjoyed the guitar work at the beginning and at the end! Love the sound of those strings! I also fantasized that when God creates a new earth, I'm gonna try surfing and sailboarding and probably won't have need of a board either! I won't be afraid of sharks stalking me too! I plan on walking on the ocean bottom, jumping from mountaintop to mountaintop and making friends with all kinds of currently-wild animals, like bears, dolphins, seals and chimpanzees. Ah, the best of plans..............................................
