Guest guest Report post Posted February 2, 1999 If by chance this person is lurking, I say, to heck with him. As Eleanor Roosevelt said, " No one can diminish me without my consent.

Maybe " they " will tell us how to make our names confidential, which I obviously haven't done! Love, Beth Heidi Walsh wrote: > > > > Ladies, > > I've gotten several messages already asking about .
