expectations are funny things....people, when you get to see them never look like you imagine them when you speak to them on the phone or talk to them via email. You must bear in mind I tried to choose the best photo....my eyes are deteriorating so glasses cant be far away and as for the weight, lets just say I aint as skinny as I used to be.

I am just sorry I was not on this website when you posted it. I could certainly relate to so much of what you said.
