ouch, that would hurt. I remember getting into top ten for jr. high cheerleaders (teachers voting) but student body narrowed it to six or seven and naturally I lost . Still hurts to this day! (I was never one of the "popular" kids)

It's funny how we remember the painful experiences over the wonderful ones, thanks for your visit Andrea!

As tennis legend Chris Evert Lloyd used to say: The winners are the ones who learn from and recover from their losses!... Looks like you've rebounded just fine, Tania! Smiles for Miles, Gershon
