   Nancy,   
      
   NB>I doubt any of us would become the Buddha... but learning how to manage   
   NB>the insecurities is probably useful enough... :)   
      
     I liked what the late Red Skelton noted once in a skit. He was   
   standing with his thumbs in his pockets, noting the way that "this was   
   how these 2 cowboys were standing"...and adding that "I don't know if   
   their thumbs are cold, or if they've got gas".    
      
     Anyway, the conversation between the two went something like "Now,   
   that we're getting friendly with China, do you believe in Buddha??". To   
   make a long story short, when asked if he liked Buddha, the other   
   replied "Yeah, I like Buddha...heck, I like margarine as well".    
      
   NB>Postscript... since originally writing this, my mom fell and broke her   
   NB>hip... on the 22nd... she's doing pretty well recovering from that,   
   NB>though... we brought her back home (to my sister's) yesterday, and I'm   
   NB>finally able to get back to Fido, at least a little...  It does mean   
   NB>that she won't be going camping with the family, though... since sites   
   NB>and cabins are already rented, most of us will still go camping   
   NB>anyway...      neb   
      
     Sorry to hear that about your Mom, Nancy. My Mom (who will be 89 this   
   fall) is still doing pretty good...although I do most all the driving   
   for her now...as well as helping with the shopping. That's especially   
   true in getting the groceries off the shelf into the cart, as it's hard   
   for her to reach them.   
      
     One funny moment a couple of weeks ago, came on a trip to the store.   
   We had filled up the grocery cart with a bunch of items, and hadn't yet   
   gotten a single item that was on our grocery list. LOL
