Re: [Paddlewise] (Fwd) Re: Risk Homeowhatsis

Gee Chuck,
Even I, the one who knows so little, knows it's not proper to post to the

I have lived my life by following my gut instincts, and they had you 
pegged for doing just what you have done. Too bad you wasn't a deer. The 
freezer would be full again. :-)
So I can only say, "thanks!" 

PS: to Jackie:no flame war here. I really am through with the topic.
