Found you thru Sr. MM (I think)

My MIL is a big Bestseller Fiction reader. Gave me a copy of her "kite runner". Did my ussual flip to any given page and saw that it was well written, but have no time or real interest... Not with all the really cool non-fiction I want to chew on.

BTW my meme would probably look identical to your's. So I'll save myself the time and just check back no and again.

(I only know about the BRAT diet from 30 years ago when my younger brothers were on it. Hope your BamBam is doing better.)
