Bob-
I am on your list as well (even tho it is an uncomfortable topic for me)
and it reminded me of something mom use to say. I have a client on Bourbon
Street who is a New Orleans icon and she has had more surgery than anyone in
history and it shows. Mom use to say that "one of these it's all gonna come
falling down, but that's ok she can just take it all back up to the top and
tie it in a nice bow". Use to crack me up everytime no matter how many times
I heard her say it.
