Amasa vow f percent Chance of surviving the operation and i would almost certainly be paralysed from the neck Down if i did live. I told my doctors 1 had no intention of dying and that god would take care of me. Because the operation was so extraordinarily complicated and i suspect somewhat experimental i was asked to sign a consent form giving the doctors permission to videotape the procedure for teaching purposes., 1 did so gladly. Much to the amazement of the doctors 1 survived the surgery with no paralysis but i do have extensive nerve and muscle damage. It took me two years to recover sufficiently to function on my own and there Are still Days when i stagger around As if id had one too Many. Your fort Worth correspondent should be thankful that her family loved her enough to stand by her when she needed them and that she had 47 wonderful years before she became partially disabled. I Wasny to that but i am not complaining. The things 1 lost because of my Accident have been replaced tenfold.

Thank you so much for writing. C creators Syndicate struck a raw nerve with me. I was recently married and we had 40 no shows at our reception. We included postage paid response cards with every invitation and about 60 percent responded to those. I did a lot of telephoning and held off the final count to the caterers until two Days before the wedding. At that time i had to make the final Florist order for every table of eight there was a Centrepiece As Well As the final Champagne amounts for toasting. We figured that this Cost us $ 1,000 extra. To this Day we have found out Only that one woman was ill a Man did no to get Home from a business trip another Man left his wife and one couple had the flu. Only one couple informed us personally that they were unable to attend three hours before the ceremony. At the reception we Learned that another couple had separated and he was too upset to attend. Abby please done to use my name or City. In a hopeful this will Alert some other folks and there will be fewer no shows. Affronted newlyweds dear newlyweds i wish i have yet to hear How readers Felt about my suggestion concerning no shows at a catered affair a since the food is already paid for Why not pack up the goodies and take them Home or to a homeless shelter a c Universal press Syndicate across 1 Kitchen array 5 costume part often 8 touch 12 medicinal Plant 13 commotion14 Kennedy matriarch 15 Pedestal occupant 16 Powell co Star 17 choppers 18 repeat the Story 20 victorians Consort 22 demure 23 the whole shooting match 24 handle 27 sealed 321, in old Rome 33 Scull need 34 scratch out 35 Highway sigh phrase 38 expanded 39 Dobbin s dinner 40 Attila . 42 investigated 45 la Scala presentations 49 lounge 50 staff 52 Davenport s Futa 53 sheltered 54 year in Uruguay 55 read quickly.
