Marie,

I received one just like it.  What I want to know is:  How many women in the
US are mothers????  Anyone have those statistics?  I would imagine the
percentage is PRETTY HIGH!! I say Woman's Day argument is a lame excuse.

BTW,  a local server finally moved to my "Podunkal" area and I don't have to
pay long distance anymore.  YEA!  Friends, please note my new E-mail
address.  Thanks.
