That advice is pure horse manure. Keep your spirits up and you will get through this just like many of us.
Best Wishes, Danny Boy

I have an "over friendly" GNC clerk in my area who is always full of advice and has told me on or more occassions what I should/shouldn't be feeing my kids. I kind of get a kick out of her enthusiasm and how she comes off like this total expert. She's a very cheerful person and find her somewhat uplifting and entertaining so haven't (yet) taken offense. It's hard to get her to shut her trap though and my kids are always with me and get restless while we chat - guess that's why she thinks I'm feeding them the wrong foods, ha! I am sure being given that information was the very last thing your friend wanted/needed to hear so definatley in his case was unwelcomed and uneducated advice. | | |

Saw my gnc clerk today -- last day of their monthly sale and she was swamped with customers so she couldn't yap as much today. She talked enough though - I came out of there with at least one extra thing I didn't plan on buying. | | |
