Well, honey, we got to get you all better! I will be praying guidance

for your docs and peace for you! BTW, since I was born in '56, I

guess I would be a chrome yellow Chevy Nomad, black leather roll n

tuck interior, cragar five spokes,and a killer stereo. Yes, I have

given this WAAAY too much thought. that's my dream car next to a

McLaren F1, but that's about a quarter million....dream big, right?

I had a neat thing happen this week, I had lost touch with a very

dear friend, my 's godmother actually, she moved and just

vanished. I googled her name and sure enough she popped up...on a

weight loss surgery website! Is that not cool? She had the RNY done,

and had to go back in for ulcer surgery about one month postop, but

is doing GREAT now. She has lost 150 pounds from surgery...and 240

pounds of dead weight (named Wayne)due to divorce, hence the address

change. We are going to get together while Chas is in Tokyo. My dear

Tess, I am happy to see that you have kept your marvelous sense of

humour and indomitable spirit. Hugs and love from rainy Dallas.
