Re: [VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Mike Bliss]

Jimmy,   I should have mentioned this before but I love these quotes.  I have been saving them for a while (not as long as I wished I had) on one Word document.  Thank you for taking the time to share these.  I in turn send them on from time to time to friends making their days more fun.   Mike     ----- Original Message ----- From: Jimmy D.
