Yepper, it's true. I also pause over size 'zero' and, my fav lie, one size fits all!

quite the 'visual' in very few yet impactful words Jan:) You are so good at writing of seemingly inane every day life that once you interpret it as only you can, one thinks 'huh...I never thought of it 'that' way.. but she is so right :-) This is one great example:) I love that:) lynnxxx
