I think it is pretty cool too. :) BTW: I have used EFT in the past. I can't say it helped me and I didn't stick with it. I did get help from just quieting myself to perform the EFT.

I know a couple folks that swear by EFT. **************** --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Share Long <sharelong60@...> wrote: > > Thanks, Carol, this has got to be one of the very wonderful developments on > our sweet planet, that the Appalachian Trail is extending overseas. > > > > > ________________________________ > From: Carol <jchwelch@...> > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Saturday, April 13, 2013 8:03 AM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: NCAA Men's Basketball Championship Tonight! > > > >  > When I think of hillbilly...I think of bluegrass and The Darlins on Andy > Griffith. ;) > > But, I also immediately thought of fiddles and bagpipes. > > I grew up in bluegrass country.
