This sentence is worth a year's worth of 'net bills for me right there!!!

I don't know if I've told the story of my conception before . . . thought I did but it's not in this thread . . . my young biological mother went to Israel and met my father, a Czech soldier on the run from the Russians (I think -- either that or he was running from his own army). My mother returned to Newfoundland and gave me up for adoption.

I've just got a couple more steps to go to finalize the search and will get on that asap. I just got a letter from Post-Adoption Services today telling me I need to send money :rolleyes2 for some paperwork.

Wow. I did not know that ^^^.


I can speed read--the "normal" way AND upside-down.

I can cause wanton destruction with a single typo :)

I don't know that I ever "saw the light" as such...just gradually fell away from being a fanatic eventually to where I am now, which I guess is sort of an agnostic who wants to hedge his bets ;) Dealing with other peoples' kids was something I didn't do well enough to ever fool myself into thinking it might be my purpose...just ask anybody who worked with me that summer if they think I missed my calling. Actually, now that I think about it, it may have been the talent show they had for the counselors that I did not participate in that reminded me that I had a love for music, but didn't know any songs I could play & sing in front of people...my experience at that point was mostly playing bass in Music City's first ever heavy metal band, & that didn't seem like a great talent to display at a church camp...

Doesn't take me long to come back with an answer, huh?
