Hey Bud,

You shouldn't keep telling people that I'm mean. If I'm a tenatious, self starter, success driven, extremely caring person, one who goes out of her way to try and make the world a better, safer and More Honest place to live, then say something nice once in awhile.

Even against my adversaries and there have been a few in the past few years, I go at them mono e mono, wits versus brains, yeah, its me with the brains. The one who sits for hours trying to understand the infinesibly small nitty gritty details when folks masquerade as trusty worthy individuals. Its still hard for me to imagine that though my math skills aren't my best suit to try to explain to an attorney, that after you subtract 50% from 100% and then divide 50% in two, you have 25% and they don't understand. Life truly is a mystery. LOL

And you're right, I am a nit picker. As they say, "Life is in the details" and details are my best suit. So if I'm picky well, its actually a positive, not a negative. Got it? Like I said, you are impossible to train because you're just being obstinate.

But Lowell knows when Don tells him I'm as mean as ever that it means that I'm in my best form, still going after the small fish in the big pond and lovin' it.

I think I can honestly say on behalf of everyone here, we all miss Lowell and would love it if he dropped in more often.

Petra :-)
