    I would like not to have had aneurysm surgery. Everything else would fall into place.

    I wish I had the same confidence I have instilled in my daughters.

    Of course, being a wee bit taller would be nice as would a wee bit thinner but I'm not overweight, just under tall.
    boy, that sounds like me... but if I could change just one thing about myself (and this is a toughie)I would want to be a more thoughtful, kind, loving person. Then maybe I won't spend most of my time feeling guilty.

    May I borrow you?? I start tons of projects and take forever to get them done, because I have too many going at once. My garden could sure use your help!! Come February, when you get sick of gray and snow (I used to live east of Syracuse, I remember those winters) you let me know, I'll offer you a busman's holiday! :lol: :lol: :lol:
