Things are getting a little heated on planet Earth Waves. I suggest everyone on this board, men included, change their estrogen patches immediately and chill.

Some very specific suggestions:

1) If I have time, I will start reposting my ear tones to this board. If they are of any help to any researchers, then that is a good thing.

2) A rule be set that anyone claiming hits on this board must post *in advance* of the event his or her prediction. No more grand standing.

3) That everyone who knows Lowell send him email begging him to return, if only for the joy of his company.

4) Controversial, but I would very much like to see Dennis Gentry return to this forum. It matters not whether he feels comfortable revealing about his methodology; he owes no one an explanation. What matters is the rather eye-opening successes he had with his predictions before he left.

5) Controversal again, but I, for one, would like to see some posters limit the lengths of their posts. Some of us don't have that much time in our day to read long, meandering messages. In this case, less is definitely more.

6) Today is the first day of 2003. The past two years have been sucky beyond measure for almost everyone I know. Let's try to stay positive.

7) We all have our days. I am proposing a new contest to run through the end of January, if not anded earlier.

Everyone please post the exact date that Petra realizes that this is her life work, her heart's passion, and returns to this board. No duplicate guesses; if someone has already taken your day, pick another. PST only. Good luck!

My guess is January 4, only because it is my birthday, and I like birthday presents.

Smooooooooch.
