We do get "Lost" here, yes. I've never watched it myself, as I'm not much of a fan of television. Everyone I know likes the show.

Well, I guess we'll find out if Amanda watches it or not. I've seen many ads for the show, but I don't think I've seen the character you're referring to, at least I don't recall seeing any characters that remind me of Amanda's pic.

Thanks guys!  :grouphug; I miss her terribly!!! Hubby and I cried like babies!! we don't have (human) children, so she was one of our children. I can't imagine grieving any worse if it had been a child that we'd lost. Thelma, her sister, is grieving as well. It's hard to watch her miss Louise. She's just pitiful!! We're all still in mourning...Ne ways, {{{{{Thanks}}}}}} for thinking of us!!
