promise you'll try the finger thing! < !signature-->Its time to put on my teachers hat And teach you all the world is flat You talk of meeting and sharing faces I wish I could be in all those places Nan and Doreen Peri playing scrabble Not on the puter like I like to dabble I put all of my money on Nanners to win But to play in person puts on a new spin I’ve heard stories of overseas meetings To the logic of this rant that be cheating But still when you live in a state so big You cant run on over for someone you dig Put your left fist up in the air Palm facing you your skin's so fair Point your index finger up to the sky It's for nose picking I aint gonna lie Now lay your thumb in a horizontal line If you’ve done this all you’re doing quite fine Now see there is Texas right there in your hand I live high on your ring finger near your wedding band The doctor said, "You're almost dead. Don't eat green bananas no more." The sick little monkey groaned and said, "But that's what I 1-2 the 3-4." from The Monkey--Shel Silverstein [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 06-17-2000).] |

Walt, This is so cool and creative, glad to know now where you live in Texas. Now when anyone mentions Texas I will look to my palm and know I have a clue.  |

So cute!! I'm on my way..now tell me is there a BIG wedding ring around the water tower in your town? How will I recognize it? I'm from Michigan..Stick out your hand, palm facing away from you..your thumb is on the right...I come from about 1/2 an inch up from your wrist on the lower left side...  |

Hey this is great Walt I love it!! Yes, I am here, but I am dead, not alive, my body goes on, my spirit has died and I though alive, feel dead inside. "Rose Petal" |
