I am with you on the bit about not understanding why parents can't inculcate the values that matter in their kids. <BR/>And I know Cubby's being raised by two great parents with all the right values. I salute you both!!<BR/><BR/>Hi Still,<BR/><BR/>You know your opinions mean a lot to me...so comment away!!<BR/><BR/>Cheers to you both!<BR/>M*4Mamma mia!
