Now that I look back on the list I see so many I wish I had read. Oh well, it's not too late. I'm going to copy your list. I will let you know if I decide to pursue this one so you can link to me. Thanks for finding and sharing this one.Margothttp://joyfullyretired.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508267865632365231.post-64946267084656155372009-04-10T07:57:00.000-07:002009-04-10T07:57:00.000-07:00J.G. -- I agree about the impact idea.
