Hi all,
 Just wanted to say that I just finished what there was of "A Sirius
 Affair" and i just loved it. I have been reading a lot of the fanfic
 out there (just to tide me over) and some of it is pretty bad but I
 have found a couple that weren't too bad that I did enjoy. I do have
 to say that by and large that PoU is the best out there so far IMHO.
 Just to touch on a few things people have been posting today. I
 do believe the trio has a strong relationship and friendship. They
 either don't realize it though or they don't have the security withing
 themselves to talk about it. Some of the things we do when we are
 teenagers we look back on when we are adults and just cringe. I look
 back and see so much I missed out on due to those two reasons.
 About teachers. I have three children of my own 6, 7 and 8. To me
 education is the most important thing they can ever have and it is my job
 as a parent to see that they get it. Being educated wakes us up and sets
 our minds free to see the world around us for what it is. But children
 don't just learn in school. They learn from everyone and everything
 around them. We all have to be teachers in our own way. I do agree
 that we have to pay our teachers more. I was brought up with the idea
 you get what you pay for. I work in a casino here in Las Vegas. Every
 night I watch people win and lose thousands upon thousands of dollars
 in the blink of an eye and they never complain. (Well not the really
 big high rollers) But these are the same people that will complain
 and bitch to high heaven if you want to raise their taxes to support a
 better school system. This is something that concerns all of us whether
 we have children or not and we need to see that. Well enough of the
 rant. I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed SA and tell Penny
 and Carole I can't wait till you post more. BTW my son's name is Ian,
 so that makes it a little more special for me. So long till later Shelly
