You know Phred, this whole thing has been quite a learning experience for me too. Here I am preaching volumes about graciously accepting gifts from others......I should listen to my own advice!!! I've had problems with the "receiving" thing my whole life so I know exactly where you are coming from.
Anyway I'm glad that you finally understand where we are coming from.
To the organizers of this little venture....I thank you for including me. It does my heart good.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
