Oh, I don't know... I'd likely still come, for the people...

OK.  We had enough room in three cars, though, for all who were to be
there, so it would have worked out all the same.  :)

 ML> Of course, as I was buzzing about all the time, I had more than my

And being the host, you'd be feeling responsible for things going
smoothly...  I thought things went well, though.  :)

 NB>> I don't think I'll ever forget my first impressions, either... ;)

 ML> [uh, oh, says Michael]

Not to worry... after all, I did come back... (G)

Likewise... on both counts...

I suspect that you'd also not think it all that likely a connection.  I
figured that, knowing what my body had troubles processing, and what was
most readily taken in, that if my lists coincided with his lists that
MAYBE there would be something to his theory.  So, when I finally got
the chance, I did take a look at the book.  Guess what, the lists did
not coincide, not even partly.  I don't remember what the particular
lists were, so I couldn't tell you how yours would check out, but I
really rather doubt that you'd find much more concurrence than I did for
mine.  Mommy got the book from one of my sisters... I still wonder how
people I know to be intelligent could be so easily gulled... except in
so far as they really don't pay attention to their own bodies normally.
