[MD] emptiness

[118]

Marsha,
You can keep saying this is so, but without an explanation as to why, it seems like you are just walking around with a bullhorn.  If somebody asks you what you are cooking do you run to look for a quote to answer?  Don't you use your own words?  That is all I am asking for.  I am too far away to bite you.

God bless you.
