		<description>Well how about that......nice to reconnect. I am back in the states and living in Winter Park, Fl. Your web site is great, it seems you have developed a range of interests and are living the life that is envious of all workaholics (such as moi). I gotta ask, what happened to the cat?

I&#039;ll send you a friend request on facebook so you can see some pics of how I turned out. Promise not to laugh to hard, eh?</description>

		<description>I may have even lived in Prince Manor apartments (can&#039;t believe their still standing, ick) across the courtyard. How have you been? Are you still in the U.S. or did you go back to South Africa?</description>

		<description>Shari:

I came across this website while looking for a former girl friend I knew in college. By any chance, did you happen to attend FSU in the 80&#039;s?

		<description>Yeah .. I&#039;ve encountered stories that triggered big debates about whether or not they should be covered because they could change the image of the community. 

As a resident, I want to read a paper that informs me of what is going on in my community without sensationalizing the story. I hope you covered it.</description>

		<description>I found this post very interesting and has got me thinking - about thrill-seeking and the American obsession with violent movies and unthinkable graphic images displayed on the nightly news. I thinks we are looking at a generation that is numbed, in a sense, and sees military coups (for instance) as just one more Hollywood event-unreal and unable to touch or experience in any real, meaningful way.

I remember when the attacks of 9/11 were happening. I watched the horror unfold on tv. 99% of my brain thought it was made up, a Hollywood fabrication. I had become so desensitized to images on tv I could not discern between reality and fabricated imagery.

Perhaps this young man you are following in this story is in his American numbed out state, seeing the rest of the world as a movie and he the audience.

I don&#039;t suppose a returning Iraqi war veteran would feel the same as a returning political eco-tourist. That&#039;s a given. But do we really have to be in a war to feel anything real for another people&#039;s plight? I hope not.

		<description>My daughter&#039;s 16 and she rarely shares any of her homework assignments other than written ones that need editing. Often times it&#039;s frustrating as I mark the same errors I swear WORD would already have identified. Occasionally the assignment will be a creative one, such as writing about hope or what compassion means. These are the rewards - they&#039;re usually gems that give me a window into my daughter&#039;s world and even though I&#039;m biased, I&#039;m usually surprised and impressed. Guess I&#039;m not surprised by the originality of the graduation speeches. Maybe your paper could reprint them ...?</description>

		<description>Shari,

Like you, I have never had children. I&#039;ve always felt I have had many children in many past lives and in this life, it&#039;s not about children. I&#039;ve had (and continue to have) other important things to do. My guess is that you do, too.

I support you in the notion that it is important to spend as much time with your mother as possible. My mother lived a thousand miles away the last nine years before she died and I made a point of talking with her on the telepone every week or so and going back to Illinois to see her for more than a couple of days at least once a year. She&#039;s been gone fourteen years and I&#039;m glad I did that. I doubt that she and I would have made great roommates and I&#039;ve no doubt that having your mother living with you can be challenging at times. But I also doubt you&#039;ll later regret having had this time with her.

		<description>Well this brought a smile to my face. Lovely description - I can just picture the poor lady racing down the highway with the cops after her! It&#039;s a wonder she doesn&#039;t need bypass surgery now.</description>
