Just for the heck of it...

I hate forwards. You know what I'm talking about. Those silly, usually stupid emails that your "friends" send you. How many of us have been sent jokes by well intentioned people? Me, for one. I normally just delete 'em (sorry if any of you have sent me some...). But this one was sent to me by a friend of mine, Suzi. She never sends me anything. Never! So I opened it. And I'm glad I did. I think it needs to be shared with all of you. This is for everyone attending and staffing IOTM, from the first termers to the seniors who check my site out of shear habit (I know you do it!) I hope it copies ok.

I didn't copy the "pass this on to 7 people in 10 minutes and you will have a miracle in the morning". But, hey, try it. Let me know if it worked for ya.
