Good afternoon all,

Well, my pain flare is finally over. Billie, Jan, Sue: thanks for the nice words of encouragement as my tootsie's started a fire that burned all the way to my knees. I think that words of encouragement really help those on a diet and those who are in pain. Thanks again and if I forgot anyone, thanks to you as well.

On that note, Wendy, you have so many illnesses to deal with. Do you see a therapist for your bipolar? Maybe a group therapy setting could help you learn more about it. Groups can be very interesting , but helpful as well. I know nothing about rosacea so I can't comment on that.

One sad thing: A college friend of my hubby's died at age 61. He was a teacher and football coach with 4 grown children. He had a heart attack at his desk and the basketball coach found him. Luckily no students had come into his office.

Well, I have a couple of outside chores and it's about 70 degrees so I'm outa here.

Take care,
