[stylist] Beauty...In the Eye of the Beholder

[Barbara Hammel]

The only time you really need to boil them is if you swallow them and they 
... you get the picture.
One of my twins did that to his conformer, that's why I know that.
Barbara
If wisdom's ways you wisely seek, five things observe with care:  of whom 
you speak, to whom you speak, and how and when and where.
