Saffire, 
I am not into jousting--thank you!  I have worked in Gov Labs
earlier, and I stay in touch with National & Intern'l news on
a daily basis.  I do not dote on local news or day time dramas as you  seem 
to, but try to stay in touch with the
"world".  Some of the statements I read appear to be almost
ludicrous if not absurd.  I'm sure there must be an answer to
these maladies that are afflicting these people, whether it
be physical, psychological, or physiological.  Some people
seem to attract certain unexplainable sicknesses, and then
you have hypochondriacs.  Do you, yourself, understand this
inexplicable disease?!  If so please explain!      PanAm
P.S. BTW, I've had cable for several years, some when local
news wasn't available! :)

Pan  AM,
Surely you just.  Fl, esp. Miami local TV news stations are a  joke. Their 
emphasis is not on world or national affairs but on South Beach,  the hottest 
discos, stories of abandoned house cats, who robbed the local  7-11.

If that's what you are watching for "NEWS"...yak need to broaden  your 
horizons or get cable.  :)<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I'm holding my reservations about these little guys dancing
on top of Q-tips.  It does seem strange to me that here in
Miami, FL you don't hear or see any news of them on TV or
radio, and yet they say Florida is one of the big "nesting"
grounds.  Maybe they will be featured on "Ripley's, 'Believe
it or not'.
