MC Thank you doc! This was easy and interesting too!
Alexis: Thank you!! :)
MC: The Appeal is apparently hot off the press. It was a Xmas gift from a cuz who works in NY. You are right about living each day with more meaning and feeling useful and worthwhile every day. Which is why I hate grumblers and cannot understand people who get into depression for trivial reasons! Thank you for the really enjoyable long comment! :)
Mathew: LOL!! That was a good one about chocolates! :)) But you know what? I have become hot property in the marriage market after this disclosure. Men are queuing up to marry me as I am a dream come true because the bakra err...lucky guy who marries me does not have to share chocs with me and gets my share too!!! :p
