- i wrote some books and gave away library. i like to think that every poem is a love poem. i believe that "No" is a full sentence. i used to collect old books and young cats. i don't like noisy people, places or things. my three favourite words: yes, please, thank you. my favourite punctuation mark is the colon: i have a beautiful cat, a bicycle, an old typewriter, and a ladle. these things make me happy.

GCLs favorite websites - StumbleUpon
Rated Jun 02 2007
"GCL is one of the most complex stumblers I have met.
Her site nor any one point of reference is sufficient.
Over time I have come to appreciate a lot of what she knows
and sees and shares. Anyone involved in discourse with her
knows that she thrives in matters of debate on any number of
subjects. It is as impressive as her unusual levels of energy
that she is invests in all her various projects like Forums,
correspondence, challenging statements and ideas as well as
stumbling in very accessible ways. She doesn't mind controversy
at all.
She has been so extraordinarily kind to me that it proves one
receives such treatment of goodness and wisdom regardless of
whether one deserves it or not. She has shared knowledge of various
types that could be considered mentoring as much as friendship.
She is also extremely active in the SU community. I believe I am
not alone in being treated so well. She even forgives my many mistakes
in French. That requires self restraint.
Albert Gyorgyi, the Hungarian physiologist who won the Nobel Prize in
Medicine, said "Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen
and thinking what nobody has thought." This is Gwen. Her mind never rests.
This is GCL but with a big heart behind the sometimes tough exterior amply
demonstrated in arguing her thoughts and interpretations with formidable
intensity. Bien sûr! She does not take prisoners in some subjects. Nonetheless,
it is always interesting and worthy thought she has compiled and expressed
that is most often done to very compelling ends. She is a retired medical(sic)
professional as well as an artist with a sense of deep emotional feeling and a
capacity for aesthetic response. Thus, both left and right hemispheres are always
engaged to our benefit. She is unique. She gives the word its intended meaning.
Ah, I almost forgot to add - a sharp wit and hilarious sense of humor.
Did I mention quick? Very quick.
