I can't remember any website closing down, but after a year of reading you guys bicker for a year I felt like joining in!

Laughing Fair question---
Well dont tell anyone Denise-- but I think Ive pulled out of it, as much as possible anyway. But I like it here, so I might stay awhile until I go to another country, then it will be reverse reverse culture shock, i suppose. It never ends, thats the joy of it.

But seriuously the first 6 to 12 months are not fun.

all grooviest from the Groove Institute

So if the grooviest are from the Groove house, am from the feng1 zi1 ren2 jia1 (nut house)?

About the funeral thing, unless I'm killed while driving in China, I hopefully have 60+ years left <I'm wishing>. No funeral plans yet but the will's made out to me in my second life. I can keep my stuff and have myself killed all over again. Now, that's groovy <Ignore one>

Capergirl and Denise are 11 and 12, so they are within striking distance of the male-dominated top ten. I am bummed; I checked the list, and before this post, I was tied for 203! To put that in perspective, Sara Avalon just joined about 2 weeks ago, and she is tied with me! Crying or Very sad
