Let me see.......NO I don't think so....why? Does it annoy you?
Peace
Maggie...

PS. Just wanted to add I am 50, going through menopause and trying to
lose weight because I gained it going through menopause. ;-)

PPSS. I also bought a Bike

PPPSSS. I really enjoy this newsgroup....If I annoy you, or you find
me obnoxious, don't read me. It's quite simple really. I'm not going
anywhere...I find this NG quite fascinating...a great variety of people
who have alot of creative humor.

Btw...I am 50, did I tell you that?

dude, relax. who cares if she includes that info. I would bet that an

I include that information because I am really a mental patient
spending my days making ashtrays and posting on newsgroups. Life on the
ward gets dull. "Hey lower the rope down from the ship or beam me
up."
