Hello, Michael,

Good news! It worked. Got your email just fine when I checked in this morning.
So it seems you are back on track with the email communication. What a relief
for you, and a good thing for everyone else!

Talk to you soon.

Hi Toni,

I've had a problem for some time doing diret replies to this forum from yahoo,
and
Marysol doesn't see any reason why either, so suggested I try a test, so I'm
replying to you
this way and hoope that you may recieve it promptly. Relaying evertything thru
Marysol is
to time consuming for her especiallly. If necessary, I'd simply write you at
your yahoo
address. Thanks much for the good news about the mic avaiilablity. Getting to
bleary to
say more tonite,

Michael

certain composers resonates lifelong with some people; why certain music is
satisfying to
them only for periods of time. Is it associated with developmental stages
and/or "chakra"
ages? I think it is interesting to look at (in both western and vedic
astrology) what is
going on. I am not an expert on astrology, but I have many books and have been
reading
for years.

product. It wasn't listed in Griffin's spring catalog and it was not listed on
their european
site. There are plenty around, though, directly from Griffin (also in
Tennessee) and from
Amazon. Since I can afford only the simplest system at the moment, this setup
really
seems to be excellent for immidiate purposes.
