"EM JAY,
Glad you're here, I came all the way from The Greeenteeth Labyrinth to see what Sheryl O had to say and she gives me three words. Puh!"

such pressure to perform! Please, work is hard enough. :)
But, i'm glad to get you here over the other side of the pond, even if I do disappoint.

Glad we're friends. During one of the upgrades, a whole lot of my friends got deleted. It was almost a year ago and I'm still finding disconnected friends.

It's not easy swimming against such a strong tide, but if it gets someone thinking, even me, it's worth the effort.

Ian, another question. I have seen advertised on BBC America a series (the name escapes me) about these kids, I think they are supposed to be "different", which reminds me of the film The Village of the Damned, the one with George Sanders (the original Saint!) in it. Do you know this programme? If so how is it? Chana

Ian, Do you have any idea if "The Devil's Whore" is going to be on BBC America? I only got Showtime because the next level down did not have Turner Classic Movies and Encore. I just saw the movie "Cromwell" on TCM again and would be interested in the series. I heard there was a new "Man For All Seasons", but sadly don't think NetFlix has it. Have you seen it or heard anything about it? Chana

Ian, I have actually been enjoying another British import to the USA. I am a bit of a sci-fi nut and came across Primevel. I saw it first on the sci-fi channel, then caught it on BBC America. I also think I have become addicted to The Tudors. I remember The Six Wives of Henry the Eighth with if I remember correctly Keith Mitchell doing the honours. He was very interesting. Chana

Ian, thank you so much for taking the time to explain about the tribes and subcultures. You used great examples. I can understand the separate cultures. I know quite a few people who have lived in America for several generations, but still cling to their churches and cultures - Chaldeans, Ukrainians, Greek Orthodox and others. I wish we all knew more about one another. I think people would be less fearful and prejudiced.
