    I'm spitting chunks of barbecued beef at the screen! No, slim jims. Seriously, can you see why I begged this woman to blog for us?

    Thanks for the laugh, Janiel. This will be a great column to read!

    However, I don't know about the rest of you, but I always know where my chocolate is! :bigsmile:

    Okay, you've got me, Michelle. I ALWAYS know where my chocolate is, too. Most often it can be found in my secret hiding place, which I like to call "See's Chocolates." I have hiding places all over the world. And thanks for your vote of confidence. :)

    Alison, I'm trying to figure out if it is a good thing that my column made you spew beef chunks. And seriously, if you're going to persist in invoking the "Slim Jim" metaphor, we're going to have to explain it. FYI, I only eat them about once a decade. ;)

    Yeah, my biggest problem now is that my kids are old enough to insist that I share and they know all of my hiding places. *sigh* Chocolate never lasts as long around here as it used to... Hmm, not that it ever lasted long in the first place! :wink:

    What a hoot! Well, we know one thing for sure. If we ever have our heated discussions again (liberal vs. conservative, illegal immigrant amesty vs. prosecution,etc) we can count on Janiel's column to lighten things up a bit. :)

    Oh-- and I forgot to mention -- even if my head DOES explode while trying to become celestial material, all that brain matter and what not will be put back together when I'm ressurected-- celestial material or not. So there's one consolation. :)

    Facethemusic, I completely forgot about the whole resurrection-thing! You have no idea how many brain-cells I delivered along with each of my children. I will be BRILLIANT in the resurrection! As for joining in on heated political discussions, no-can-do. I have decided not to crack open a newspaper until after the 2nd Coming. My blood-pressure shoots out of the top of my head every time I do, and I want to yell "Can't We All Just Get Along???!" Seriously. I don't even want to hear about the weather.

    (Okay, this is a little bit of an exaggeration. But generally, I like to keep it light. If I don't I have to suppress the urge to give the world a collective smack upside the head.)

    Chrysula, I'm going to love your column. You are very clear and approachable in your writing, and I like your philosophy so far. I plan on being perfectly balanced this time next year.

    Spitfire - great name, by the way; evocative - Candor and honesty is the best way I know of preventing someone saying to me, "I know something secret about YOU." All I have to say is, "Of course you do. I wrote about it in my column. Everyone knows something secret about me." **sound of wind leaving sails** I just hope you don't get sick of the candor and honesty very quickly. :)

    Thanks for making me feel welcome, everyone!

    I'm in. there's chocolate, right? cause if not, I'm out... nah, I'm in.

    I feel as if my head is going to explode on a daily basis! So this will be perfect, I may be able to pick up a few pointers!

    Ooh, Kiar. The Surgeon General warns against picking up pointers from me. Watch yourself, hon.

    hee hee! I am not good at watching myself. I tend to get myself in more trouble then other people do. so I am sure whatever I pick up from you will be an improvment... yeah, lets go with that! lol.
