Yes, Candy, you and a lot of others are concerned about pre-employment screening determining employment. I don't mean drug testing but conditions like diabetes (sp?), high blood pressure, etc.

Health care cost for employees affect the bottom line...profits are the name of the game. Don't believe me, look at the American auto companies. They all have labor union contracts being negotiated this summer. Two top items on the agenda -- pensions & health care costs.

Direction, I'm about your dimentions, a few pounds heavier and 4" larger in the waist. I wasn't trying to be contrary or an alarmist. America depends on its small to mid-size companies but like it or not big business rules. I was once apart of management. Thanks to my depression I'm reduced to learning how to submit posts to forums (graphics are beyond me), not knowing whether I'm suppose to use waste or waist and using a dictionary to spell every other word I type. Besides "you can agree with me or be wrong" Saw that on a T-shirt tonight.

I certainly wish ab1018 the best.
