No, I'm not French, I just took a few courses in the language in high school and college.  I went to Bible College for awhile but didn't graduate from there.  I transferred my credits to Cleveland State and eventually graduated from there.  I was born in Omaha, Nebraska (1950), spent most of my life in the Twins Cities metro area in Minnesota, and currently live in Cleveland, Ohio.  I am married to a former parochial schoolteacher.  We have no children but we do have a Bichon Frisé and TEN cats (please don't call the health inspector on me).  Looking forward to some interesting discussions.
			
			
			
				Hi Smitty
Welcome here. I hope that you enjoy this forum.  ::smile::
I am a dog person myself, and have had 7 rescue dogs in my life, but only one at this time. 
			
			
			
				Salut Smitty,
Welcome to Grace Centered, sorry to hear about your cat infestation.  ::noworries::
Cheers, 
Carey.
			
			
			
				Welcome!
			
			
			
				Thank you.  I wonder if you could answer something for me, as I seem to be having a difficult time replying to a post.  Are posts monitored by admin prior to them appearing on the screen?

No they aren't. I have that problem occasionally. Not sure what causes it.
