However, when Amelia Fletcher "posed" that challenge of using "she and me" in a grammatically-correct sentence, she did say that there was a solution, I'm pretty sure she did. Alas, I haven't seen Heavenly or any other Heavenly off-shoot since that day (Oct 7 '94) so I've no way of asking Amelia about this, and she's probably even forgotten about that day (it was painful for her 'cause she had canker sores <aka mouth ulcers> so she probably tried to forget about it all) xox mike ps - happy thanksgiving! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
