  My cousins who still live in Germany include Theo (the partiarch, the one who speaks English)Hedwig (his wife, and c'mon--- she shares a name with an owl in the Harry Potter books) Kathrin and Anja (their daughters) Here is a few selections from his christmas email. "Hallo, I hope, this letter finds you all well. We all doing fine here. Please forgive my delay in writing for such a long time. The most reason was:In summer, our computer was unfortunately infacted with a E-mailworm and all saved adresses get a infected mail.
Sorry for this trouble. " "Hope, you John has a good business towards. Hedwig and I don`t have vacation on Christmas and New Year, but we booked a trip over 17 days to South Africa, start on 1.th march 04. Because the time is late, I give this message by e-mail. " ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am strangely orally fixated. It's nothing sexual, but I am one of those weird people who constantly puts things in her mouth. I chew on pens and other assortments of plastic things. I chew my fingernails. It's gross.
And for being such a germ freak (i.e. washing my hands over and over) shouldn't I also be concerned about the airborne bacteria that lands of my mechanical pencils? I bring it up because I was just recently chewing on a CDR stand. This was stupid, and I didn't realize I was doing it until my lips turned numb. And my tounge. And now they are burning... Affectionately... Anna
