hi Mari,

Glad the book finally arrived. As I'm sure you'll discover, there's good shopping and food lists in the index section, also helpful "skeleton" menu plans, where you can fill in your specific daily choices.

About yahoo! ... In the little Yahoo messenger window, select login, then either Privacy Settings or Preferences. Uncheck the box where it asks about being visible to others online. I just looked at this, and it seems to be for Yahoo websites only. Hmmm.. ok, try clicking on My Profile ... you'll be taken to your profile page on the yahoo website, where you can edit all yer personal stuff. On the main edit page, there's a box that you must leave UNchecked if you want others to see your online status.

Hope that helps ...

Doreen
