[nagdu] question

[lindagwizdak at peoplepc.com]

Tami,
What an odd friend who took you shopping and she had this "thing" against 
fabric softener??!! Now, that's really odd (grin).

I have an aunt who has offered to drive my sister and me someplace only to 
have a ton of excuses when we took her up on her offer.  That was a long 
time ago and we asked other people if we needed a ride!

Linda and Landon
