Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: RE: Healthy eating, exercise and stress reduction may slow down aging at genetic level
Dear Share, thank you as always for the enlightening conversation. You missed my point, but no matter Share. And, I will answer my own question. The letter "H" in IMHO, stands for "Humble." There, I wrote it. Whoooe. That was hard. I must be accountable Share so, off I go to try, try, again. I'm over my goal of no more than 14 posts per week. That's 2/day and I managed to lose track. How *does* that happen! I'm going to have to give it up to JC - lots of reminders here of late. Must mean Christmas is comingyesthat's it. Yikes. Peace out.
