> One shouldn't die from a fall A conk on the head *can* kill a person. Last month a local man, aged 56-57, died from a fall. Took a misstep on a ladder rung and fell, hitting his head on the concrete floor. Was brain dead upon arrival to the hospital. Change of subject-- My husband's secretary, a Seventh Day Adventist (sugar-laden, junk foodie) vegetarian for the past 15 years, went on the Atkins Diet 2 weeks ago. Not paleo, for sure, but a vast improvement over what she has been eating. She says she's been staying at induction level but has only lost 3 lbs. Anybody venture a guess why the weight's not dropping off? She's about 50 lbs overweight. Everyone else I've known who had a significant amount to lose usually dropped pretty fast. She still has carb-cravings, but I think they may be psychological/habit, since she says she's not hungry (to me a positive sign that she really is keeping carbs real low). Theola
