...how can you be so insensitive as to suggest that the overly sensitive need to be desensitized....if I take offense to your taking offense does that mean that you have to stop taking offense because I took offense to your taking offense...OH, it gets so complicated....

Thanks for the comment, John...Desensitize all or sensitize everyone...I choose the former. Eliminate the allergy. Don't make everyone allergic. But then there are many beautiful things that are truly worth sensitizing more folks to...complected issue. ...Fran

Thanks, Silent One... yes, I started to do some of that when I was in Buffalo, NY. I am in Florida now and there doesn't seem to be many opportunities to it. I would love to get proficient at it. ...Fran
