    Just when you think it can't get worse...

    It does.

    My mother died on Friday when I was on a cruise. Never got to go to her funeral. That's bad. Today, we get rear-ended by an 18 year old girl .. several thousand dollars damage to our car. We end up in the emergency room with serious neck and back injuries.

                      Sorry to hear your news, Betty.
                      Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
                      he said, 'Don't count calories.'

                      Atkins makes exercise mandatory - I took up cycling - see last pics at 203lb.

                            I am so sorry about your mom and your accident. Remember though God never puts more on you that you and he can't handle together.

                            My life motto "Never say it can't get any worse, because the next minute it always gets worse" LOL

                            Seriously though I am praying for you.
