    Oh, and my personal name is also from a t-shirt I saw at a local cat
    show.  It was a black t-shirt with the face of a cat on it.  The cat
    had BEAUTIFUL green eyes.  Underneith the cat, it said "In their eyes,
    the magic resides."   I love it!

It's pretty easy to guess the purpose of my current ps... ;)
I'm from Bavaria, that is the Southern part of Germany.
During my divorce I also had 
  
   "Life is not a fair(y) tale"

And when I got back from my first US visit to Germany I
had

   "I'll return for chocolate walnut cookies."

In Germany I mostly had

   "Bavaria, God bless your beer breweries."

    My P_N just conveys my belief that ONE PERSON can effectively change
    the world by doing what's right and teaching others to do the same! We
    need more "mentors" in the world willing to "teach" the human race how
    to be more amiable and amicable to one another!
