  Hello everyone. Well I have a lot to fill you in on. First of al I went to the Doctor today for stomach pains. They took a sonogram. Might be a ulcer or my gall bladder. Wont get results for 2 days. I also have to go on Saturday back to the Doc, for a full blood work up. I think he just likes to collect my co pay.LOL..Anyway the weekend that just past I went to Rehobeth Beach, Delaware. I had the most amazing time. It was so great. I stayed at a bed and breakfast. And the women that own it are amazing too! Their place is called the SeaWitch, and they just bought two more houses right next door to each other. The one I stayed in is called Bewitched. So guys I need your help. They asked me if I knew anywhere or anyone that could get me Bewitched stuff (like the Tv show) I want to send them a care package for taking such good care of me. SO if you have any suggestions for me please email me.Thanks!!!

• Liberty News
  
  From Heartbrkn: No words can express the way I am feeling right now. I was in tears at the game when this happened. For those who dont know:
  
  Becky Hammon will miss the rest of the season after tearing a ligament in her right knee during the first half of the Liberty's loss to the Detroit Shock on Friday night.
  
  Hammon, who leads the Liberty with 16.2 points per game, tore the anterior cruciate ligament during a fast break just 12 seconds after she entered the game. She was taken to Beth Israel Medical Center for an MRI exam, which revealed the injury.
  
  "This is an incredibly bad break for a person who is having an all- star year and who worked so hard in the offseason to become one of the team's best players," New York coach Richie Adubato said. "I know she'll persevere and rehab the knee and come back stronger and better."
