Wendy, I agree with Anita, but I really hope the person you are talking about does not read this list ... Did you suggest that you might want to charge her a...
Wendy, I can only speak personally, I do research, just because I love to do it, but do find the need to place a limit on just how much I will do at no cost....
I agree with you Chris...once you 'OWN" information you speak from the heart, you show passion about any subject. It also allows you to see where you have...

EEK! I'm sorry, but that "review" reminds me of the diatribe launched against Mary and Mollie Bell in the Oct 1864 issue of the Richmond Dispatch; ie one sided...
