Gawd... What friends!!!

Not, you're looking well. Not, we're so glad to see you after

surgery. Not, your color is wonderful again.

But they've become surgery experts... " Your upper lip is too

swollen. "

Have they heard of collagen implants, not that I want them,??? Which

people pay piles of $$$ to give them swollen lips? Have they seen

Angelina Jolie, not to mention Pamela whatever-her-name is.

Have they seen Joycelyn Wild(er?)berger, who looks like a lioness by

way of extreme plastic surgery?

GeeeZ!

What lunatic people. They may be your friends, and fine folks, but I

don't ever want to meet them after I've had a haircut, and I'm

damned serious about that one! Much less if I've had major repair of

a damaging accident. (Have you ever seen a lovely film called " the

Enchanted Cottage " ? I am not suggesting that you are in the --

artificially created -- circumstance of either of the handsome

actors, but it has a real message about such things.)

And Lord help us and prevent all the unthinking ones out there from

success in destroying the confidence and comfort of honest, earnest

people who are simply trying to fix things that aren't working for

us.
