Marie D, Please accept my profuse apologies. I was honestly not aware that the word "marathon" has any negative connotations. I hope that you and everyone on Lactnet can find it in your hearts to realize that I am kinda stuck in the past, and as a result am a total ignoramus as to "politically correct", which includes language nuances and slang. Please believe me that there was nothing even being hinted at! I was trying to be "cute", someday I'll grow up and cut that out - maybe tomorrow - . :-\ Judy K., lost in time (among other dimensions)
