oy, you made me cry. I'm just sitting here all snively and wet. thanks so much! I can't stop reading your feedback--it's like being hooked up to a great big old battery and getting charged up again! You're so good for my raggedy sense of self-confidence. *HUGHUG* Thanks again for reminding me there were some really good bits in this story! Weird how it went from being a show of support for Hero into being the birth of one of my own fav characters! *SHMOOCH* you're so very kind to me!
