[Ohio-talk] The Question?

[Cheryl Fields]

These are great words to live by, Suzanne, I feel the same way! In
addition to this, I hav earned the right to have the freedom of
liberating my hair, over 50 with silver locks  and lovin' it! smiles
Make this a great day, be good to yourselves and a blessing to others!
