Re: Re: [OT] South Beach Diet

I have a sign in my home that says:
 
Happiness is like a butterfly-  it settles upon you when you least expect it.
 
 
hum.. I also have one that says:

Chris, do I detect a pity party in progress?  Next time invite your friends 
who love you , and remember you make your own happiness.  Think I've been

will meet the perfect person when you least expect it.  Hang in there.
