One of the advantages of fiction is that ***ALL*** subjects are related.
Just takes a bit of imagining some afternoons.

Sounds great...

This sounds like the kind of awakening a paratrooper gets when he discovers 
he has no chute... shortly after he leaves the plane..
Sounds like it got the juices flowing.
-> breadcrumb bit... but ... equally part Scot ...I kinna waste
-> pairfictly good food.
 EH> Aye!  Ex's, though, we waste?
Elvis we are children of the 60's ... these ladies came to me wasted ... as 
often as not.

 EH> ......and where might these be picked up?  I'm feeling distinctly
 EH> deprived.
Perhaps I will do the current American thing and do catalog sales over the 
Web.
Seriously, there is no reason to look these ladies up.. Y'bring whoever you 
are to todays relationship.. Or to quote 'Zen' "when the pupil is ready, the 
master  [er ... mistress?]  will appear'
I can tell ya tales of when my kids were young, but if you met them today you 
would find young adults. 
The innocences are gone ...
 EH> Oh, and where do I send the tape?  An hour's worth of mindless
 EH> Kookyroo for a gaggle of ex's?
