I just went to the website again and it doesn't say, but most of the

time it comes on in the evening. So I'm guessing it's pm., if not we

already missed it.

I still carry around the USA TODAY headline, it was an important day

because I used it to show all the people who were making fun

of " 's crazy mold obsession " that I wasn't alone in having this

problem.

That was the turning point in societies awareness of mold.

The very day when ridicule and denial turned to " perhaps " .

I offered to show Melinda some of the techniques I used maximize

avoidance, but she referred me to Albert Donnay.

I guess they must be doing well, otherwise, they probably would have

been curious about extreme avoidance protocols.
