Tom always has a way with making new and self conscious subscribers feel good. Congratulations, Tom, on your hospitality. I have really enjoyed the dialogue on alien shells. For once, I can understand what's going on. I think it is FUNNY! Do people get mad, amused, confused, or what when things show up where they're not supposed to be. As for "salting" the beaches with shells...do they REALLY do that to keep tourists happy? Would any of YOU ever consider putting a shell in an "incorrect" place (either on a beach or in the water)? All of this is just for fun......please, don't be offended! Jen. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
