&lt;P&gt;Oh well, you may as well get your feet wet and find out right away if you are in WAY over your head.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Meanwhile, here's a rubber innertube...see if you can catch it?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You can share it with the poster who cannot sign in, (Mary Anne from the Kausfiles Special) and maybe we can save BOTH of you at one time!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Good luck!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Loree from the Kausfiles Special.  I adored Moira Redmond, who was also a person of integriy from overseas.  The 'American' editors have all been jokes, and bad ones at that!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;I&gt; &lt;/I&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;I&gt;This is my song:&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;&lt;B&gt;“Drawing Flies Italian Style”&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;Why do we care about a common housefly?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;It’s because of their sexual determination&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;They employ such a wonderful keen combination&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;See, flies have evolved nifty ways to get by&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;To determine: I’m a girl fly – look now - I’m a guy&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;Such control of one’s burgeoning population&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;Let’s examine their method of copulation:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;Flies choose to do it doggy style… why?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;Female and male playing heterogamely&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;With or without some male input&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;“Doggy style” (just repeating what I heard)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;Some choices imposed by the mommy&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;All flies begin life as a maggot&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;Determining sex is a must for the herd&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;From maggot to housefly to sweet by and by&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;My corpse I hand over to you when I die.&lt;/P&gt;

The rules should be applied, and posts which don't conform should be censored, as should posters who refuse repeatedly to comply.  &lt;/P&gt;
