That's the difference between "them" and "us" ... we feel the fear and do it anyway ... YES ... WE STILL FEEL THE FEAR! I just hate when someone tells me, "I'd love to do the things that you do, but it's not that easy for me." Well damn, it's not that easy for me either! THANKS for letting people know ... in your wonderful way ... the OTHER HALF OF THE STORY.</p> HUGS from another lurker in Westchester.
