Faithful Chick aka Faith says:Very nice Frida! Best way to find out what holds up smashed is to try it out. Having a glass of wine tonight? It’s ont on my diet. I got on the doctors scale where Ted went today I lost 8 1/4 lb
from 3-16 Tuesday when I went to diet Dr. and today 3-24 Wednesday. If I had felt better about taking the diet pills and hadn’t chickened for 1 day it might have been more. I am sure patting me on the back.
