Re: Re: I'm still here- Ann/appetite

[Guest guest]

Dear Ann,

I've said before that it sure seems like you have

a lot of things to deal with in your life. At least

you don't have time to sit and feel sorry for yourself

with all the problems. Just vent them to the list!

That helps!

I hope something is done soon about that car. My

van had that problem with the light when I first got

it, but they fixed it.

Since I really don't have problems with the lows

since my meds are more regulated, I don't have any

ideas what would help that.

Please take care of yourself!
