I recently received this interesting email at work. I liked it, but as you read to the end, you'll see that I thought something was left out, so I added it on: Global Political Science for Dummies Democratic You have two cows Your neighbor has none You feel guilty for being successful Barbara Streisand sings to you Republican You have two cows Your neighbor has none So? Communist You have two cows The government seizes both and provides you with milk You wait in line for hours to get it It is expensive and sour Bureaucracy, American Style You have two cows Under the new farm program the government pays you To shoot one cow and milk the other Then pours the milk down the drain American Corporation You have two cows Your sell one, lease it back to yourself and do an IPO on the second one You force the two cows to produce the milk of four cows.

Great job! I'm a little over 6 months out. I'm into a 14 and sometimes a 12. I even have one skirt size 10 but I think it's just cut big. I go to the gym 6 days a week. I actually enjoy working out. Go figure. The condo I live in is being painted. The day before yesterday, I had to ask the painter to remove the paper from the door so I could get in at lunch time. He was very polite. As I was walking through my hall upstairs a few minutes later I heard him ask another painter "Did you get a load of that cute little redhead?" My first thought was to look out the window to see the redhead. Then, I thought maybe he might have been talking about me. No way! Yesterday, when I went home for lunch, the same painter already had the paper off the door. He held the screen open for me and told me "Be careful there hun. We don't want you getting paint on that pretty skirt." And then he winked at me. I was floored. I wonder what will happen at lunch time today! LOL

Cheryl you look great! WTG and Congrats on losing 84 pounds. Elisa
