*YOU* haven't seen my mailbox... let me assure, they are well represented
and are not all lying, cheating, etc -- actually those who have replied
to me see like generally nice people and I have become much more tolerant
and understanding of those who do wear makeup.

He's two  two  two people in one!  :-)

I do not recall saying that everyone who wears makeup is vain, nor will
everyone who listens to others *always* have a better chance of growing.
Notice, I only said a "better chance" -- what's the point?

Where do I say "I think Judy thinks sex is everything"?  I clearly said
"I hope" meaning I didn't know. 

Lord!  I wish some of you would spend a little time
reading the postings before formulating your replys.
Had the both of you done this, you probably would have
realized what I just said, and I wouldn't have had to
waste my time writing this.  If you are unclear as to how
something was stated, send me mail and I'll be happy to
explain.  I really enjoy reading well-written rebuttals
because it makes me think about what I've said.  To the
other people who've just wasted their time reading through
this, I'm awfully sorry, but if I only have to do it once,
it should be worth it.  I will do my best to ignore the urge
to do this again -- no flames please, I've got enough of them
to deal with :-)!
