Every kid in our neighborhood had a nickname, Peanuts, Whimp, Hot Dog, Yak, Meat wagon, Itchy, everyone except me. In a way, that's a label i guess. Tony

My label says, "Do not remove under penalty of the law." I think I'll stick with the breast milk.

WOW. Now, that is going to LATCH onto me, and I'm about to go to bed... All those labels we are given.... to me, they are the leeches, not we... but stellar stuff. You're poetry always makes me think. I like that. Heck, I NEED that. My days are spent talking about poo poo and potties and please, keep your finger out of your nose. LOL. Brain needs all the help it can get. Smiles, Cyndi
