The last part of my sentence to read: "her emotirts grew rapidly." * Cannot save it in the sentence box???? - OZZIEBOB, 2008-07-24: 06:03:00

Think it got through now? Hope so, otherwise Roxie's may have "bounce-back" breakdown. - OZZIEBOB, 2008-07-24: 06:15:00

I keep wanting to add rig to the beginning of your word which might be appropriate - Jabberwocky, 2008-07-24: 14:16:00
