HI Jeannie, Looks like we have quite a few members living in the Eastern part of the state. Maybe one of our meeting should go that direction so we can include them. What 'ch think? Susan

HI Tammy, I am living in Jonesboro so not that far away from you. I have lived here since late 2004 and will probably be here another year or so. Welcome to our circle of Arkansas friends Jennifer 361 / 186 / ?

HI Tammy, I drive through Marion when i go home for trips. I am from Irvington, Alabama. It is on the coast below Mobile. I moved in 1992. My husand is Air Force and we have been in Little Rock -- Anchorage Alaska and now here. We are set to leave next oct. but it will probably be extended another year. I was actually in Marion last Fri when that bad wreck happened. I know someone died in it but I never heard anything about it on the news. Keep in touch and ofcourse if you ever make it back to jonesboro let me know, Jennifer

small world. i used to be the wife of an active duty af member. we lived in texas, illinois and massachusetts. the af paid for my surgery in boston. i divorced him shortly there after....good riddance!!!!!!! the wreck last friday I saw a clip of it on the news but never more.....where was it? I work here in Marion. Accounts payable and billing for a company *****pairs trailer chassis and containers that come off the rail and some repairs for trucking companies like fed ex and usa trucking. I am from Michigan. I have 2 kids several cats and 2 dogs, I am in a relationship. I dont have internet at home so i get my emails at work. so be patient with my replies if i take too long. I was considering coming to Jonesboro to get my hair done at a place i went to over the summer Blonde Ambition. But I am afraid I will get lost. I hate driving..... so how has your weight loss journey been? look forward to hearing from you again tammy

Hi Tammy, I live in Marion too. I've lived here about 6 1/2 years now, but I've lived in this area for about 17 years. I've not had surgery yet, but I'm thinking about having the lapband done. I went tonight to an informational meeting it was very good. Congrats on all your weight loss! That's great! See you around the board. Jen
