What a lovely idea!

Most people are jealous or don't believe that someone pays me for doing 
that (or both), but my all-time favorite is the reply I got from my 
grandaunt when I told her what profession I chose:
"That's a nice job, but, kid, not for a woman your age!"

Oh, yeah, and my favorite pharmacist always gives me little bags with 
cream against venous diseases for free because "you have to stand on 
your feet all day!" :-)

Best wishes
Angela
