I got your advice too late to help me before I lost my second post of the day.  But I'm using it now.  Thanks for the advice and thanks for the comment on this blog, too.

Gotta go do some early morning babysitting now.  I'll be back, Darlin'

Did you try my advice or did that let you down too?

Good work on the swimming post,

Thanks for the compliment and for the technical advice.  I'll give it a try.  People like you will bring me into the 21st century yet.

Thanks for reading.  Most of our fears are based on something buried in our past.  If you dredge far enough you can usually find it -- if you want too.  The best defense against drowning is knowing how to swim and being able to overcome panic.  I've read many true stories of people drowning in water less than four feet deep.  The real cause of death was panic.

I like the way you tell a story! I think I could listen to you for hours! Great post! My Grandfather was a swimming teacher so we had all learned to swim by the time we were 4, the hard part was learning to dive.

Oh yes this is how you copy and paste : Hold 'CTRL' key + 'A' (This highlights your doc) then hold 'CTRL' + 'C' (this copies it), go into BN then hold 'CTRL' + 'V' (This will paste your doc)... Hope this helps!

I Have A Paranoia About Drowning
There's no basis for my fear except I think it would be such a horrible way to die.

Thanks, PoeticDewdrop
Now all I have to do is learn how to cut and paste, or whatever the technical terms are.  I'm living proof that an old dog can learn new tricks.  It just takes him longer than you young whippersnappers.
