(FOrmer) Full size school bus driver on Long Island. I anticipate retiring as of July 1, 2007 and look forward to getting back to real food, home made by me. Hopefully, with more time, real foods, & less stress I'll be able to lose some weight. A pound a week would be nice. --------------------------------------- The above post was written in July '06 I did "retire" in 2007, but it happened in June because I could not work and deal with overwhelming grief. ~On April 15, 2007~ we experienced a death in my family that changed life as we know it. If you want to know more, go to: http://www.christopher-samson.virtual-memorials.com/main.php?action=view&mem_id=8716&page_no=9 ~I have walked the path of my grief and am able to laugh again and smile because I see Chris in everything I do. He accompanies every thought I have. I will be happy to discuss that aspect of my life with you IF YOU WANT, but you have to initiate the discussion. I talk about Chris all the time because I love him so much. -------------------------------- Otherwise, just call me "Aunt Bea" (like on the "Andy Griffith" show.
