So I know that we canat least send it to 5 or 6 ---(just think ,it could be you one day).It's not even your money, just your time!PLEASE PASS ON AS A LAST REQUESTDr. Dennis Shields, ProfessorDepartment of Developmental and Molecular Biology1300 Morris Park AvenueBronx, New York 10461 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the day is done Do you lie in your bed With the next hundred chores Running through your head? You'd better slow down Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. Ever told your child, We'll do it tomorrow? And in your haste, Not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch, Let a good friendship die Cause you never had time To call and say, " Hi " You'd better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. When you run so fast to get somewhere You miss half the fun of getting there. When you worry and hurry through your day, It is like an unopened gift.... Thrown away. Life is not a race. Do take it slower Hear the music Before the song is over. -------------------- FORWARDED E-MAILS ARE TRACKED TO OBTAIN THE TOTAL COUNT.
