I understand your frustrations. My wife did not say much of any thing about my weight loss for several months. Recently she has commented about it, but it is always coupled with negative comments that eventually I will weigh less than her. My goal weight is 10 pounds less then what she weighs right now (I'm 6'2" and she is 5'2"). As men we are taught not to comment on women's weight. Weight is one of those hot button issues that we cannot touch, because it can always be taken the wrong way. Perhaps he is hesitant to mention this because he is afraid that you might come back to him and say somethig like "you mean you didn't like the way I looked before?" It is something to think about. -Jonathan

Kristi, That first month is really hard!! I'm sorry that you aren't feeling well. Have your visiting teachers come by to see how you are doing? If you tell them that you are having a hard time, they can assist you in getting a blessing. I had a lot of vomiting in those first few weeks. It does get better with time, but I know that doesn't help you now. I hope you feel better soon, C Leigh

Michael and Robin Wadman were members of our Kingsland ward here in Ga., but had recently moved to St. Augustine Florida for work. Micheal had Lap RNY about two years ago, and was a wonderful husband, father and friend. He passed away December 1st from a tragic motorcycle accident. I am leaving the article from the St. Augustine paper here. -------------------------------- The father of five children was killed Wednesday when he lost control of his motorcycle and he hit a utility pole. Michael Paul Wadman, 40, is survived by his wife, Robin, and children, ages 4 to 17. "He was a great man and a wonderful father," said his wife. "He had a huge heart." The Wadmans had lived in St. Augustine for eight years before they moved to New York four years ago, and then Georgia two years ago. They moved back to St. Augustine about six weeks ago. Wadman was working as the office manager of Land Title of America Group with family friends, the Collins family. "He was honest, decent, loving," said Bertha Collins. "He'll be sorely missed. He loved the kids. He was a great man." Wadman was an Air Force veteran. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Wadman was riding his 1985 Honda Goldwing south on Joe Ashton Road in St. Augustine around 8:30 a.m. when he failed to negotiate a right-hand curve. His motorcycle ran off the road onto the east grass shoulder, his handlebar hitting a mailbox. He then hit a culvert, and went airborne. The motorcycle landed on its left side, and as he fell, Wadman hit a wooden utility pole, troopers said. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Donna, Happy birthday! Merry Christmas! C Leigh

Just a quick note to wish everyone here a very Merry Christmas and a bright and Happy New Year! I hope that all of our H.F. blessings will be with you and your families this time of year. My birtday is one week from tomorrow and I am so excited that I am alive to see it and enjoy it. I am thankful for medical science and I will be forever grateful to the family I have gained here on the forum. Love, Donna
