Education & Reference - 16 August 2006

I mean careful like - not taking a shower when it's lightning real bad, etc? I live in Florida - Tampa Bay area (lightning capitol of the world for real) and we've had some WICKED storms in the last couple days. I'm 48 and grew up learning that you stay off the phone (do portable phones in the house count?) and not shower, etc. I guess this is more than one question (sorry). Also - no weather category here so picked "education" since this is how I was educated on storms. Made sense to me. LOL

Some questions on mailing money through post?

I'm planning on sending money to Canada through a letter, but I'm hearing rumors that sending money even in a birthday card or so is risky as postal workers often intercept them and steal them. Paypal and Credit card is not an option, but a friend has been talking about getting a bank note, which only a designated person can cash-in from a bank. Can anyone tell me a little more about bank notes, how should I approach a bank (if obtainable) and is there truly no safer way to send money through post?

writing process select the best answer..?

4.Mark never changes any of the words he writes. Whatever he writes first is what he presents to his readers. Janet writes down sentences from a book and presents them as if the words are her own. Lean writes only when he is forced to write. He never finds an interest in the topic. Michelle interviews her friends for information, writes down what she knows about her topic, and organizes the information she then wites a draft, which she revises several times.
Which person is using an effective writing process?
Mark
Janet
Alan
Michelle

By order of importance
By comparison and contrast
