Oh, darn. I struggled with Scotch and Scottish
(having honest to goodness Keith Clan blood flowing
through these veins) and should have stuck with Duct
(tape, LOL, something I ALMOST bought for my
boyfriend's Easter basket, since "a good woman" knows
how much a man appreciates duct tape--wink).
At this point, whether we call it whiskey, Scotch, or
soda pop, I'm ready for a glass. Cyber drinks on the
house--for all who don't teetotal or whose religion
precludes--it on me.
Thanks to each of you for your kind words. It's my
pleasure to help.
Would you believe we now have 603 members on MuseJobs?
That amuses me because there was a discussion here
once that said there wasn't a market. See
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MuseJobs
While you're at it, with respect to pilfered
artifacts, I just posted several articles to
MuseNews-History
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MuseNews-History this
morning about artifacts returned to Mexico, the
prosecution of pilfered artifacts in the Northwest,
the illegal sale of Hawaiian artifacts on Ebay, and
the theft of artifacts in China.
While we all despair the thought that our history can
be removed from public enjoyment and preservation as a
result of the war, let us not forget that such
thievery is not limited to war.
Too factors seem to prevail: greed and ignorance!
Now, if we could smite both of those, we wouldn't need
these drinks (smile).
Cheers, or, as my now 25-year old son used to say,
"Hundermuss." It took us forever to figure out what
he was trying to say. Finally, we deciphered it was
the way he heard "Otro mas," as in one more--drink!
LOL
