Yes, I agree that generally it's better not to eat too frequently, or at least
not to see frequent eating of raw foods (as any other food) as an ideal.

Thanks for checking for me with the roommate thing.  Things are looking a bit
better.  I have decided to get a room in a house in Malibu.  I want my son to
be able to go to school there, and they have good public transportation, etc.,
so please let me know if you hear of anyone with a room for rent or looking for
a housesitter or whatever -- in Malibu or Truncas Canyon!!

Thanks again.  Michele
