By the time I read to page 4 my sides were hurting. page 7 and I was shaking my head. We are a funny bunch aren't we? My problem is that I could agree with all of them. Sometimes I give up on bathing, just wear powder.....unless I have to leave the house, then I have to break the cycle and have a shower.
