This Week's Epitaph

A child of God, Dane Smith-Johnsen,
From dawn to dusk, no longer diets.
She finally lost weight –
By returning to dust in the end.

I just really liked this one a lot, Dane Ann. It reminds me of what I'll feel when I die and don't have to worry about stupid weight gain anymore. Congratulations on your win in my contest. LUv, Andrea

That's hysterical, Dane Ann! It was nice talking to you last weekend. Wish you had time to stop by the Soup more often, but I know you're busy. Please offer some prayers for my high school friend Barbara. She had her sixth spinal surgery today. Love, Carolyn
