And it does seem to be a small, elite influence. Thanks!<br /><br />Jane - Yeah! Hold onto your cash.

After thinking about it I decided I'd rather be me than a stereotype. After all no-one can be me as well as I can. And I'm getting better and better at it as I grow older.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276284964859313257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169897411582842424.post-48237621991438098222011-06-16T22:25:44.603-04:002011-06-16T22:25:44.603-04:00I didn't bother to watch the vid.

"Don't Iron While the Strike is Hot" does anyone even recall that movement?

I don't care if I get wrinkles and too many grays to count. <br /><br />I often wondered what would happen if we put all the money the 'beauty' industry rakes in to better use?Vicki Rochohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07381089434014961076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169897411582842424.post-29132100328005845022011-06-13T18:22:44.652-04:002011-06-13T18:22:44.652-04:00Bossy - Thank you so much!
