I know that when I was trying to decide if WLS was for me, I couldn't have made an informed decision without the help that I received from the web sites and the people I found. There are a lot of wonderful people out there that post their stories on those sites. Hopefully you will visit some of the sites I have linked to, and get to know some of the wonderful people. The support that is offered by others is truly amazing!</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="1a17f1b0.jpg" border=0 width="127" height="27" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="1c2211f0.jpg" border=0 width="33" height="31" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">   <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#006666" FACE="AdLib BT" ><B>BOOKMARK THIS PAGE!   </b></FONT><IMG SRC="1c2211f0.jpg" border=0 width="33" height="31" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="1a17f1b0.jpg" border=0 width="127" height="27" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id20.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Janets Journal"><U><IMG SRC="1c2211f0.jpg" border=0 width="33" height="31" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Janet's Journal</U></A><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#006666" FACE="Amazone BT" ><A HREF="id20.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Janets Journal"><U><IMG SRC="1c2211f0.jpg" border=0 width="33" height="31" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></FONT></div> <div> <A HREF="id18.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="What I Will Miss Most..."><U><IMG SRC="1c2211f0.jpg" border=0 width="33" height="31" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">What I Will Not Miss Most...</U></A><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#006666" FACE="Amazone BT" ><A HREF="id18.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="What I Will Miss Most..."><U><IMG SRC="1c2211f0.jpg" border=0 width="33" height="31" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></FONT></div> <div> <A HREF="id22.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="My Photos"><U><IMG SRC="1c2211f0.jpg" border=0 width="33" height="31" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">My Photos</U></A><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#006666" FACE="Amazone BT" ><A HREF="id22.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="My Photos"><U><IMG SRC="1c2211f0.jpg" border=0 width="33" height="31" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></FONT></div> <div> <A HREF="id19.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Favorite Links"><U><IMG SRC="1c2211f0.jpg" border=0 width="33" height="31" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Links</U></A><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#006666" FACE="Amazone BT" ><A HREF="id19.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Favorite Links"><U><IMG SRC="1c2211f0.jpg" border=0 width="33" height="31" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></FONT></div> <div> <IMG SRC="1a17f1b0.jpg" border=0 width="127" height="27" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <A HREF="http://htmlgear.lycos.com/guest/control.guest?u=janetcooper1964&i=1&a=sign" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://htmlgear.lycos.com/guest/control."><U><I><IMG SRC="1cb7f4d0.jpg" border=0 width="127" height="77" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></U></A><I>   <IMG SRC="1c2211f0.jpg" border=0 width="33" height="31" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  </I><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#006666" FACE="Amazone BT" ><A HREF="http://htmlgear.lycos.com/guest/control.guest?u=janetcooper1964&i=1&a=view" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://htmlgear.lycos.com/guest/control."><U><IMG SRC="1cc7f4d0.jpg" border=0 width="127" height="77" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></FONT></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="1c122180.png" border=0 width="34" height="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">     <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#006699" FACE="Arial" ><I><IMG SRC="1ae311e0.jpg" border=0 width="49" height="30" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></FONT></div> </td> <td valign="top" rowspan="2" width=8.75% BGCOLOR="#111111" TEXT="#F7F7FF" background="1907d833.jpg"> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr><tr> <td valign="top" height=70 BGCOLOR="#111111" TEXT="#F7F7FF" background="1907d833.jpg"> <div> you are the <A NAME="_visitor_to_this_site"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A>  <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"> sw="none";sd="none";ref=""+escape(document.referrer); </script> <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2"> sw=screen.width;nav=navigator.appName; sc=(nav!="Netscape")?screen.colorDepth:screen.pixelDepth; </script> <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"> function doit(str) {document.writeln(str);} qs="&sw="+sw+"&sc="+sc+"&ref="+ref; url='http://counter28.bravenet.com/index.php?'; url += 'id=348888&usernum=2330845385&cpv=1'; curl='http://counter28.bravenet.com/counter.php?id=348888&usernum=2330845385'; doit('<a href="'+url+'" target="_top"><img border="0" src="'+curl+qs+'" /></a>') </script> <noscript> <a href="http://counter28.bravenet.com/index.php?id=348888&usernum=2330845385&cpv=1" target="_top"><img src="http://counter28.bravenet.com/counter.php?id=348888&usernum=2330845385" alt="Bravenet.com" border="0" /></a> </noscript>  visitor to this site</div> </td> </tr></table></body>
