I really like how it feels at night over there. We have to move by summer, and I think Arcata is going to be our destination, if we can find someone who will let us have our cat.<BR/><BR/>Yes! I don't regret anything I gave away. I just want to "purge and purge and purge" too. I want to get down to basics.

I wish too! <BR/><BR/>Discombobulated means all mixed up. I don't think it's a "real" word; it's not yet standard English. However my spell-check is letting it slip by, so that means it's at least common.<BR/><BR/>Maybe the other word was reciprocity? From reciprocal and reciprocate, it indicates that there is an expectation that whatever is given will be given back in equal value. (Or whatever is take will have to be paid for with equal value).Indiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333639250952967951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8997830130858417318.post-88501017675852712472009-02-05T07:39:00.000-08:002009-02-05T07:39:00.000-08:00...do as the romans do, K!

Thank you for saying so. <BR/><BR/>That's the kind of teacher I'd like to be someday, but I've seen some real experts and know I'm not even in their league.
