   Insecurity is a female thing? I sure hope not ;) I don't think estrogen   
   could be blamed for that ;)   
      
   The late great Mary Tyler Moore used to play the sickeningly disgusting   
   insecure character of "Laura Petrie" on the  Dick Van Dyke Show - I'm glad   
   it was only a sitcom, because in reality, I wouldn't want anything to do   
   with such a person.

   For now? Is this a regular situation?

   Sounds like a kind of rearrangement.

   WWI square dance war song - that's rearrangement all right.

   Sounds pretty wild - and with all that, how many persons are actually   
   playing Live?

   Sounds like the beginning of a new set list.

   We got some of the miserable stuff - nowhere near as much as Hyped, but   
   nasty in any case, and right now it's 10 degrees F - no wonder I HATE   
   WINTER!
