(they're supposed to fill it in their        inds with "flock off"; if they don't know the expression or ask me to finish        the phrase, I say "and fly away"leaving them to wonder. . . *L*)              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-5        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/131 129/305 330       SEEN-BY: 129/331 134/100 138/146 153/105 135 141 757 7715 221/6 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 206 307 317 400 424 426 428 452 664 700 240/5832       SEEN-BY: 266/512 267/67 275/100 1000 280/464 282/1038 292/854 301/1       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/11 200 396/45 460/58 633/280 640/1321       SEEN-BY: 712/848 3634/12       PATH: 153/757 7715 229/426           |
