Hi Bec, thanks for the great suggestion! I just began typing the post, the momentum picked up and before I realized it I had quite a lengthy story to share. Thought only about myself as author without thinking about the reader. My self-centered nature reappears but in a different venue. I'll reconfigure the post as you've suggested...should have time tomorrow.

And to everyone who has left a note...I've really enjoyed reading your comments and compliments...thank you girlfriends for helping me feel good about myself! My GD constantly bothers me and I'll go to just about any length, as you've read, to express my femininity short of more permanent procedures that my life just cannot enable at this time. Nikki
