Hello Erudite. Isn't that an oxymoron? Celebrating the attainment of Atkins maintenance level for a friend, with PASTA???!!! =-P What is the diet world coming too with all the misinformation?
Maybe you have an in on that which I don't see! Maybe you are a carb junkie so addicted to Carbs (Italia) that you don't see the spaghetti for the meatballs. =-)
Carb Bunny!
LOL, Brad! I should have Dreamfield's pasta to celebrate. That's legal. ;)
Seriously though, I'm very glad this man is safe. It must be very hard for him to leave his friends and family behind and not even be able to say good-bye.
I really am happy that the reporter and he are free. Answer to many prayers and hopes.
What would be interesting is to see her become a believer and they end up getting married. Her and the former Muslim! =-D Lord would call them to serve there?? Hmmm, what a story that would make.
