I'd like to also compliment Popcornbird who is maturing into such a wonderful, articulate, compassionate young woman right before our eyes.

PCB - we know you were very close to Jess - and you are being such a wonderful friend to her even now. You've shared your religion with us during these stressful, war-torn times when muslim-bashing has been too easy of a pass-time for too many people.

And a compliment to all PT people. Whether this is your first or 5000th+ post. I've never joined other boards, and this one has now probably spoiled me for life.
