    Good point Lizzie, looking back at small town Indiana in the 1960's and early 1970's there were still signs of this behavior. If you were on the lower end of the social or economic ladder there was always this undertone that it was your fault and there was something wrong with you.

    Cold/Cough Remedies?

    Me too, came down with something around the middle of December and still have it in one way or another now. I suspect it will not go away until the weather warms up.

    Button Boots Anyone

    I like the look and would possible get a pair if the prices were lower. That much money for shoes I would only wear a couple times a year does not justify it for me.
