Re: Re Rider weight

[avpinc@bellsouth.net]

I just want to go on record and say, boo-hoo!  I feel soooo sorry for you and
wish I could give you some of the extra weight that most of us women
chronically
need to lose (or want to, anyway!)  I know this is a purely unprofessionally
un-
sympathetic attitude but you really made me jealous!  Just kidding--this is
really
a good- natured barbequed  rib.  Just had to respond.  Think I'll go eat a
low-fat snack.
     Please eat some chips and chocolate (my two worst weaknesses) for me!
