Dunno about you, but I started reading the Asterix books in Junior High and found them soooo punny that I soon had to collect the whole shebang. It took a while, but I have 'em and still enjoy them.

Just signed up today and would like to lose sixty pounds. Am perimenopausal and a long-term frustrated user of Weight Watchers in its various incarnations over the past thirty years or so. Sigh...
