therese (Therese):
Bits and pieces, bits and pieces.
People.
People important to you, people unimportant to you cross your
life. Touch it with love and carelessness and move on.
There are people who leave you and you breathe a sigh of relief
and wonder why you ever came into contact with them.
There are people who leave you and you breathe a sigh of remorse
and wonder why they had to go away and leave such a gaping hole.
Children leave parents; friends leave friends, acquaintances
grow apart.
Enemies hate and move on.
Friends love and move on.
You think of the many who have moved into your hazy memory.
You look on those present and wonder.
I believe in God's master plan in life. He moves people in and
out of each other's lives, and each leaves his mark on the
other. You find you are made up of bits and pieces of all who
ever touched your life, and you are more because of it, and you
would be less if they had not touched you.
Pray to God that you accept the bits and pieces, in humility and
wonder, and never question and never regret.
Bits and pieces, bits and pieces.
- L. Channey

Ok. Its not often that we get a request for this kind of thing, but
here goes. When logged into a unix system with email access, you need
to type 'elm -s "photo" friend@site.us'. Now when it comes to the
"Copies to:" prompt, stand in front of the screen so that you get
a nice reflection on the glass. You may need to use some backlighting,
such as a bright desk lamp for this. Now, without moving your face,
press the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard (it is in the top right
hand corner of the keyboard) Wait a few seconds, and then press
return on the keyboard.
You may wish to add an explanatory message in the body of the letter
letting him know what the attached binary file is.
Let me know if you have any problems with this, or if it doesn't work
for your system. Some IBM "compatibles" don't fully support this feature,
since it is rarely used.
Good luck!
SysAdmin
