Buzz,

It's been a long time, I hope you are generally well.

I'm very interested in the whole Buddhist faith, perhaps when your Brain
isn't so mushy you could explain more to us.

Hi Buzz and everyone else.


Yes, it's me, though when I read the post I realized that I forgot to turn
my sigline back on after writing to a "normal" person.

I'm really great thanks Buzz, and only found this list yesterday... I was
messing around on Onelist looking for unschooling lists as some of the ones
I was on seem to be dying and I missed some of the conversations, so here I
am, and it was good to see some familiar "faces".

I really don't have enough spare time to be at the computer too much these
days, life is busy especially now it's almost spring and there are kids and
lambs everywhere, fences that need work etc etc etc.

Didn't realize you were on this list.

When my brain is less mushy I can suggest some books. Cindy recommended
a great one though. A great beginners book to quench your curiosity.
