Hi Barb, You truly are funny, I liked you excuse so can I use it too please. I knew every one of them also. I even worked the old wringer washer for my mother. I am still young and not getting older. By the way I watched Patch Adams the other day also and loved it very much. Have great day and thanks for the laugh Love Janice ----- Original Message ----- From: Barb_MSN <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 1999 10:50 AM Subject: Re: NON PD - Age and Memory Barometer > Waaaaah!
