eHealthy News You Can Use May 30, 2001 - Issue 224

[Guest guest]

I hope that I do not upset too many people with this forward letter from

eHealty news. I could not forward it as I received it because of the way i

have set up my computer to hopefully not be passing viruses on, so I cut and

pasted the web sites. I felt most of the information would be interesting

to a lot of people on the list for one reason or another. (I am not getting

direct mail from the list right now, just reading at the web site as I get a

chance. I have to do those custody papers the paralegal was doing because

of several mishaps by too many different people and I barely get time to

even look at the computer.)
