It had nothing to do with list members, I like them = all ! Meteorite collecting was beginning to consume me. All I do is = think about meteorites, so much so that its getting me into trouble! I = was loving on my wife the other day and accidentally called her bye = another name, she asked, who in the heck is Glorieta!!! It was getting = out of hand. I was contemplating spending money that I didn't have on = meteorites I did not need. I just felt I needed to get away from = everything meteorite! Then the list came to my rescue and taught me what = was important, Not the meteorites, but the friendships acquired while = collecting! I learned a whole lot from this list, not just about = meteorites, but about friends!=20 I know no one can afford everything. That did not come out right and I = am sorry!
