I got this list from my email... I took off all the stuff that tells you to pass it along...
that part of emails bugs me... but I like what it's saying without that.

If people could do all that, our society would be so different!
So true.
The list is true but I have to admit when a student called me for the 15th time in two days I was no longer answering with a smile!
By the way I saw your comment on 668's blog about participation helping to make the show and I couldn't agree more. I really like Jian on the radio and wish he were on more. I have never warmed up to Sheila. I never even liked her a 100 years ago when she was only reading the mail on the Peter Gzowski show. I loved Peter. I just thought he was the best.
Clearly you are not the only one who can ramble on in a post! :)
Oh my gosh I am so sorry. I have no idea how that happened! I thought blogger was not taking my comment because it kept making me reenter the stupid verification code. I only came back now in hopes that blogger wasn't being such a dork. There's no garbage can. I don't know how to delete all the extra messages!
Toccata Jian just posted where he is going to be and I think he will be near you soon.
It's on the main page of his website...

Thanks for the info. I cannot tell you how embarassed I was when I saw all my posts last night! I just had this picture of you clicking on your comments and going, "What on earth? What is her problem!"
I know that blogger can be that way sometimes. That same day I was having problems trying to reply with a comment I just gave up before it posted my comment a bunch of times too...
