Oh, dear...in theory, I'm not a huge fan of marshmallows. But when faced with one, I find they don't last very long.

Interesting stuff!! Thanks, B!

I read a similar article in The New Yorker a few weeks ago. I used the lesson in my yoga class!

It's pretty much how I quit smoking.

Ted rocks and I give it as homework at least once per session.
