Eating out of boxes doesn't really show until years of those boxes stack up..Paula =;-)

This is a very well-researched piece of writing, with a lot of heart (personal experience) and talent. The flow is excellent!

I have another on generation typecasting - will post tomorrow...P :-P
blessed to have that and using the FF as a 'treat' is good - it is like candy - a little is nice - a lot causes all sorts of problems in your body. :-)
