Hi there, Diane G. here. I am new to this website. Could anyone tell me what they love about this site???? I think that would help me get aquainted with folks. I am located in Maryland right on the Chesapeake Bay. Love boats, dogs, and food (darn it) I was a good cook but I swore off from my good cooking and now cook normal healthy stuff. I will have to learn how to cook good gourmet foods. I think I will make a trip to Borders. I garden and have 3 grandgirls and no I didn't grow them in my garden. The stork brought them. Well, enough of my sillies. Hope to meet you all. Diane G. oh, band stuff!! I had surgery Nov.21,2006. I was 229 and I am down to 197. Mine is coming off slow, but I know one thing. I will never see this weight again EVER. Yeah.
