McGrath, I don't think it means literally no music allowed.:-) It's just a warning to poepleo they won't come in here and be crabby if they saw nothing to do with muisc. Thanks to you and your posting of your incredible song about you and your parents thye couldn't even do that,now! I forgot to tell you how much I loved reading your song. I had tears running down my face; you are such a superb songwriter! Thanks for sharing it with us and the background too.

Naes, goodonya! I guess by fly in the face I meant willing to take risks and, yes, be a little unconventional and Rog and I have been that if nothing else! Sad to hear of a coworker who can't even take time to read good wishes from a colleague. Six more years to go,huh? You keep looking at those daisies, darlin, 'cause at the rate your coworker is going she';s going to be pushing them up instead!

If we have been forgetful about smelling the roses, etc. and we pile on the stress, rest assured, at some point in time, if we are lucky, our bodies will warn us. It may not be a very pleasant warning, chests might have to be cracked open for surgery, might have to take some kind of horrible meds, but we'll be alive for another day and get a second chance to PICK DAISIES and we'd better pay attention!**BG** It seems the more we can simplify the better off we will be. I am working on this right now and it is difficult to let go, but I know i have no choice.

Again, Noreen, really excellent thread, thanks you so much for sharing and starting it.
