    Hello Robert, this site has missed your sage wisdom and sardonic way of posting Seriously, we need more people such as you who tell it like it is and has such good advice. It's mentally challenging and makes me look at my journey in a different light. We can become complacent and that's not a good place during maintenance. Too much cockiness is not healthy for me, and you challenge me to "keep it real."

    I want to zipline, but not in anything that's yellow and skimpy! I put that activity on my "to do list" and want to do it when I go to an island in the winter. Stay tuned for pictures...lol...

    Welcome back, and pull up a chair and stay for a while

A video was made in front of the big fountains and got the ice water was dumped on me by an Elvis impersonator. In the background, I had a person with a boom box playing "Hunk of Burning Love" whilst Elvis dumped the water. And yes, alcohol was involved.

    This was all done because......well.....after losing 265 lbs....I could.

    The video resides somewhere on Youtube. I can't find it so I'm comfortable that no one else can either.

    However, because it's you Ann, I invite you to try and find it. I'd love for you to see me in my banana hammock.....lol.
    LOL! It's on like Alderaan!

    Hey Tinman, In regards to your book I came across some information a while back when looking into publishing companies etc. and I found something about selling your book on Amazon and you do it yourself. It didn't look that complicated the most important thing was you have to find a way to title it properly so it gets the attention of the buyers and make sure your book pops up first. I'm still in the research stages but it might be something worth looking into, from what I understand it can be extremely lucrative if done right. Good Luck either way!
