attempts were all but failures and mishaps but he would NEVER dare own up to or admit to
any type of catastrophe because of his aloof attitude “anything you can do – I can do better”.

to Israel with a bunch of “oldies” whose average age is 80! The list goes on...and yet we are
still waiting to indulge in Gerry’s specialty “home made Mars Bars”!

convenient, such a great idea making it so easy to read and distinguish between Shampoo and
Conditioner. I was really enjoying this shower, making lots of suds in my hair getting it extra
clean. Meanwhile I am pondering to myself how the shampoo is getting so very frothy and how it
