Really Bryster, such statements are racist. Here in the states everyone is pretty much a mix of all kinds of nationalities. I'm part English as well as French. Now I did marry a frenchman but that still doesn't taint my view of other possibly french men, just men in general :p Sorry just had to add that. Dan, you have got a lot of cool stories! Collette, I hope your run of bad luck changes for the best. Maybe it would help to use the salt. One of my kitties got hit by a car a few weeks ago, my mother saw someone picking her up in a towel and putting her in their car. They drove off with her before my mother got to the road. She was our accident prone cat. I doubt she survived but it would be nice to believe that she did and that she is safe in a loving home. Angela
