Guest guest Posted October 24, 2001 Report Share Posted October 24, 2001 Oh wow I am speechless. I do hope you feel better soon. I can't believe that really do hope that you find things gets better ;o) Lonnie Phoebe & Eloisa's mama & expecting a Christmas delivery... My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what you start. So far today, I have finished 2 bags of chips and a Chocolate cake. I feel better already.
