ORIGINAL: laborboleta Pam, I've been looking forward to your contribution here. As a Kipling fan, I'm familiar with the poem. Would love to know your motivation for making it your name, if you care to share that. My dad used to call me that, for trying to be a good person without being recognized for it. At work, i was known for bringing water to the guys on the hot line during service. They couldn't leave if they got thirsty, and it was real hot back there. The chef called me Gunga Din. And once as a teenager, i gave water to a crew of gardeners who were suffering from the heat. The foreman was so impressed that he had a talk with my mom, much to my embarrassment. i guess i identify with the character in the poem. pam How interesting, you bringing water to men, and men, being the water of life.
