September 19th-First I want to apologize to all who saw these 2 pages and I want to say the link to Color Therapy has been removed as they had porn on their site and a thank you to Linda for informing me of that fact. She also told me a pen pal site for seniors I was linked to was a porn site.It also has been removed. When I linked to it it was a clean pen pal site for seniors but I was embarassed when I clicked on it and saw that it had now become a porn site. Making Memories 101 will never have that smut on this site and I figure the domain name must have come up for sale and the porn jerks bought it. So please if you find anything of questionable taste on this site let me know. I have over 200 pages and it is hard at times to keep track but I try my best.Again I apologize and say thank you Linda fo informing me. Blessings, M.E.
