in a public area, I always take it...
I liked the card idea offered in your other post... I'd like to know where they came from (or at least what they said, because we could always make our own). ...
I find that it is easier for people to hear an "I" statement vs. a "You" statement. So I say, "I'm sick, my system can't handle chemicals, perfume, etc. So I...
