Yes, Bruce, I hear you about the acetone. I used to work with it, too, with
Celastic. Great molding material but very toxic situation, eh? I have
fibromyalgia now diagnosed and am looking back at all the toxins I have
breathed in. I am beginning to tackle things more naturally.....

"The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do."
-Walter Bagehot

"One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the
choices one makes. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape
ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we make
are ultimately our own responsibility."-----Eleanor Roosevelt

"Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are
dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do
it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many
tomorrows.
