categories, please just drop me a line! Thanks! Jo Loving

Writer On Line: If you want a chuckle at the irony of
writing and submitting work, only to be rejected and rejected
again, read my "Hamlet's Soliloquy for Writers,"
featured in Writer On Line's "Web Lite" section. Let me
know what you think! If you like it, let the editor, Terry
Boothman, know! End of Shameless Plug.

Jeeves: An intelligent search engine.
Just ask Jeeves any question and it will search the web for

could also ask: "Who is the world's foremost authority on
duck calls?" Jeeves will search and give you a multitude of
options. Great for researching for your articles, research
papers, or satisfying your curiosity.
