Pam, You already know you're headed for Youtube!!! :lol:

I can see it now in the local news:
Monkey Bars-Gone to the Bats?
Local officials were stunned on Sunday when they saw all of the local playground monkey bars covered in mammals hanging upside down. And what kind of mammals were these? Not bats. opossums? No. They were women!! When asked the women said they were quilters working on their weight versus height proportions to insure optimum health benefits for thier hearts. All the little kids watched in awe at the over taking of their monkey bars. Will this be a new trend? Stay tuned for updates.....
:-)
Hugs
April
PS Who will be at the monkey bars at 12 on Saturday

I'd have to stretch to 7 foot. Then would be just right.

Me, too! Just went in for a bone density test and found out I've already shrunk an inch! :(

I'm 71 and I lost 30 pounds!!! Hurray for me. Took
1-1/2 years but I did it. Now to not put it back on. I told my husband that in the past year and a half I have eaten an apple orchard, a banana plantation and a grape vineyard. That's what I snacked on when I got hungry between meals. I don't know when I'll be able to eat lettuce again and enjoy it. But it was worth every minute.
