"Don't...forget...to...drink...your...Ovaltine..." What can I say: Little Orphan Annie creeps me out. :-)

LOL - Sandy? The devil? Nah. That's giving her way too much credit. Narcissist? Most assuredly. Delusions of grandeur? Undoubtedly. Pure evil? Seems like. One of Satan's MINIONS - a safer bet. :-)

They had PLANNED a grand burial for common sense, but some dumbass fell into the grave and sued. Instead, common sense received a quiet, dignified, nondescript burial in potter's field, in an unmarked grave. In lieu of flowers, the family of Common Sense requests that donations be made in name of Common Sense to the International Society to Sexually Neuter the Terminally Stupid.

You weren't the only on to think that, Chris! :-) In the next town over from me, three people (all adult men, who should know better) have been killed in the past year while walking across the railroad tracks in the same spot. Their families bitched and moaned about how their dead loved ones would still be alive if there was a FENCE there. Fence has now been built. NOT GOOD ENOUGH! One of the families wants a memorial plaque installed on the fence. What's it gonna say? "Hey, if Johnny wasn't so stupid and so lazy, he's be alive right now. Let it be a lesson to the rest of you!"? Followup question: how long until the fence has a hole cut in it (assuming that it doesn't already"?

No, they're not ALL still alive! Here's one from my area. Further reports say that today would have been his 56th birthday. Happy birthday, Mr. Dumas! Penny trick gets man killed by train GREENWICH — A man trying to entertain his family by putting a penny on the tracks died after being struck by a train in Greenwich, police said. The man had jumped onto the tracks at the Riverside Railroad Station on Sunday afternoon to place a penny on a track and show his wife and three daughters how it would be flattened by a train, police said. Sgt. John Rizzitelli of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority says relatives were trying to help him up get back on the platform. The Metro-North Railroad train, an express from Stamford to New York City, was traveling at about 75 mph when it struck the man. He died immediately. Police are withholding the man's name this morning, pending notification of all of his relatives.

Sue: I've been at my final goal - "normal" weight and BMI - for two years and, I'll tell ya: it's BORING! :-) The excitement of waking up to find that I've lost another couple of pounds is gone. The headiness of "getting a gold star on your chart" for losing is no more. It's still pretty cool having gone from 376 to 176, and feel much happier and healthier: I won't deny that. But maintenance is more of a job than an adventure. It's real, actual work. I have, honestly, come UP a few pounds from my very lowest last year. At that point, I was concerned that I had lost "too much weight", if you subtracted the poundage of extra skin that I have. I didn't feel that I looked healthy and I really didn't feel the picture of health. At the same time I was having a reflux problem that required a small unfill, and some weight came back on, although I am still in "normal" and in my OWN comfort zone. I think my body may finally have reached that level my surgeon kept insisting that it would.

Because it's now 2007, and we're allowed to date and marry outside our own race. And, I believe it's legal in all 50 states! You DO know that there are 50 now, right? I'm not sure, since it seems like your questions makes me think you're been in a coma for quite some time . . .
