Oh THAT was what I was hearing out here in Santa Cruz! Screaming cancer cells!
Brenda, that must be a close cousin to be able to find the fine line between normal loopy and loopie-er.
Keep pushin on, girl!

Hi Brenda..Maybe those rads will kick your butt A LITTLE BIT but...............I have a feeling you will kick back MUCH HARDER.
Prayers said for you that it's an easy road for you to travel on.
Love and hugs...

Hey BrendaGirl
I'm glad you got the first one out of the way. I totally understand
regular loopie versus extra-loopie; perfectly clear to me.
Good luck the rest of the way.
