89. I agree and let's not forget the golf courses

May 2013

I DO have cancer and at least half a dozen other immune issues. If anyone wishes Sjogren's Syndrome on you, run the other way. Worse than the cancer (leukemia). Hang in there, we've all said things that we wish we could take back, I'm sure she didn't mean to hurt you.
When I was quite young, I asked a rather large woman when she was due. Um, bad "oops." Life went on.
Good for you and be thankful you don't have some egregious disease. Props for losing the weight. Damn, I'm 5'6" and got down to 100 pounds unintentionally when I had emergency brain surgery last year (non malignant meningioma).
Now I'm at 128 and would like to stop there. For some reason, I have the worst sweet tooth. Used to be a salt freak. Oh well.

Hugs and be well!
