KAREN - Will be happy to hear about Sharon and how she is doing.    Think it is around 11 a.m. Wed. in Australia about now.........maybe we will hear something before we go off to bed.  I know she will do well and just the relief of having it all over and heading into recovery will mean a lot to her.    Appreciate that you will keep us all posted.

Hugs,

Shirley

KAREN - Please explain which fruitcakes are calling your name?   lol  lol

I agree with you, 2007 will be our year.  We have learned so much in 2006 even though it wasn't a necessarily successful one........we have learned that if we don't work it, it won't work. 

Hugs,

Shirley

HA HA ... KAREN .... KARRRENNNNN? where ARE you ??? Sorry it WOULD be me.. I win the friutcake stakes every time !!! ha ha ha 

 I am not working for a change today ,so decided to come out of lurkingness to Wish ALL of you a Very  Merry Christmas and a Very enjoyable and successful 2007

It will be a great year and there will be less of us this time next year .. cause we'll ALL be at our goal weight!!

 Haven't heard of Sharon yet .. I know she was 1st on the list this morning...She still may not be out of surgery yet as it is 12.40 here now.I dont want to be intrusive so will ring later tonight our time .. when she is out of recovery .. She knows we are all thinking of her and wishing her well!!  I talked to her last night..... hugs to all . Bev xxx

BEV - Think Karen went to bed early last night but am sure she will be up bright and early this morning. 

Sure am looking forward to there being less of us this time next year.........we will all be so joyous. 

Will look forward to hearing about Sharon.  Butch most likely stayed at the hospital until the wee small hours.   As you say, she knows that we are all thinking of her and wishing her well.

WISHING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY AND HEALTHY 2007.

Hugs,

Shirley

SHARON - THINKING OF YOU AND WISHING A VERY SPEEDY RECOVERY SO THAT YOU CAN GET BACK WITH US SOON.   I AM SURE THAT BUTCH IS BEING A WONDERFUL NURSE, AND AS RELIEVED AS YOU TO HAVE THE SURGERY OVERWITH,  AND FOR YOU TO HAVE A FUTURE WITHOUT PAIN........SOMETHING WE ARE ALL WISHING FOR YOU.

HUGS,
