Gaylin, I must disagree with the subject of your post. Hell hasn't frozen
over -- you've clearly died and gone to heaven. My question is -- how did
you figure out how to post from there?
Please keep us informed. I have some ideas about the afterlife but would be
interested to hear from an actual inhabitant of the place where I hope to go.
It's like networking -- I'd like to prepare myself for a job I hope to have
someday. ;-)
