Doris. I am sorry I won't meet you at this year's party. Next year, though.

You make me proud! You're doing so well. I had someone question why I

would do anything so drastic at this stage of life. And I was 55!!! Some

people don't get it. The message was, that I was too old to worry about it.

What, 20 years or 30 years doesn't count???? Sheesh. When my weight's gone,

I'm getting a face lift. Maybe arms and thighs and tummy., too. I plan to

be the feistiest 60 year old on the planet!

ANd sexy too! I am far from any old rocking chair, I can tell you! My best

to you. Enjoy the party. PhillyJude

[Guest guest]

Can I have a raincheck for next year, Betty? I really want to meet you as

well. Maybe the picnic in September? I'll be there if you will! Fondly,

PhillyJude

[Guest guest]

Jude, you had better be glad that by the time you are 60, I will be about

65. That way you won't have any competition for fiestiest 60 yr. old.

You're not coming to the party? Geesh, I was so looking forward to

meeting you. Love ya. Betty

Sperb, I don't do anything anymore cause of what anyone would think or like.

Not guys, not women, not friends, not foes. I do what I want cause I want

to. Period. Now, sexy grandma? Hmm. ? Don't think that's my style.

Feisty, fabulous, and over forty. .

maybe that one. :-) Later, sweetie. . . PhillyJude

Jude,

You may think this is stupid, but I will be turning 42 on 12/10 and I had some

of those same feelings: well, all the guys are looking for young girls and it's

really too late . . . ! What is that anyway?

I can just see you with the bumper sticker " sexy grandma " ! LOL

Sperb,

Don't ever tell your age again.. I would have never thought it.. You like

maybe 36 if that.. Damn girl you gonna knock em for a loop when you get little..

By the way to get a man, who wants younger women? Find an old fart!!

(but between you and me, my hunk, is 12 yrs. my junior!! I wasn't waiting

around, found him, kept him!)

Trude,

For a minute I thought your were going to tell me I didn't look a day over 41!

LOL. But thanks--I appreciate the vote of confidence. Somehow I'm not

surprised you found a man (a hunk, no less) younger than you and everything. It

seems like with your great personality you'd attract men like moths to a candle

(IMHO). I think I want a teddy bear, but having never had a " real relationship "

I have no clue what will work. Oh well, one of these days!

Love,

Hi Doris: Congratulations on loosing 100 lbs. When we met you were up to

91lbs, and you still keep going. I hope you and your husband are doing well.

He sure gave my husband a lot of tips on how to help me out during this

transition period.

Have a great holiday.

Hi Doris,

I know I'm a little late replying...as usual...I just want to congratulate

you on losing 100 pounds and feeling great. You and your wonderful husband

looked amazing at the Christmas party. I'll always remember your visit to me

at the hospital...especially back then when the term " litttlermates " was not

yet formed. Thanks for the X-mas card too!!!

Love ya,

Dear Doris:

I have 4 children and a husband that will be with me in Durham until DEC. 22.

Then my husband must go back to work. A friend will be coming to pick up

where my husband left off. If she runs into any glitches getting there I just

might need a lift to the DR office. WOW! That was so sweet of you to even

offer. I will be staying at the Hawthorn Suits, on Meredith Dr. I will not be

attending clinic the 21st, because I attended back on April 19 , 00.

Thanks again for you thoughtfulness.
