Thanks Lillian. You are truly a wonder.
I forgot to say earlier that I think the people on this site are totally amazing. I don't put alot of replies out there, but I read everything that goes out. The depth of knowledge and wisdom is pretty overwhelming and makes me wonder if I really have anything to add to the "conversation" most of the time. I love the descriptions of walking down the streets on NYC, the occasional food discussions, the ideas for alternative approaches (makes me feel like I am talking with my Mom, who has restricted my Dad to bottled water,makes sure he has the daily allotment of all vitamins, etc. while I take to the internet for ideas) and just the overwhelming love and support one feels from every reply.
Thanks to all of you for showing me the way....
