I'd have had a very hard time forgiving either of them. Joy |

That thing about cats stealing babies' breath is such an... old
mother-in-law's tale. I've heard of that belief but never met anybody who actually believed it, or even heard of anyone personally second-hand. But it seems to be still very much alive in the US, from what I read here. Weird. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |
