WITandWISDOM(tm) - January 2, 2004 ISSN 1538-8794 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: The darkest hour in a person's life is when they sit down to plan how to get money without earning it. - Horace Greely ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: London, England (AP): A flight in the United States proved lucky for a British woman who suffered a heart attack. Fifteen heart specialists, all bound for a medical conference in Florida, stood up to offer help when a cabin attendant asked, "Is there a doctor on board?" Dorothy Fletcher, 67, who had been on her way from Britain to her daughter's wedding, said Wednesday that she owed her life to the doctors. "I was in a very bad way and they all rushed to help," she said. "I wish I could thank them but I have no idea who they were, other than that they were going to a conference in Orlando." Fletcher, who lives in Liverpool, northwestern England, spent two days in intensive care at the Charlotte Medical Center in North Carolina following the heart attack on Nov. 7. She spent three more days in the hospital, but still made it to her daughter Caroline's wedding.

I was told customers were taken on a walk-in basis only. On Saturday I got there by 9 a.m., only to learn that it was that hairdresser's day off. I drove to another salon, but it was booked solid. Still another had no openings. The situation seemed hopeless, so I went home. My husband greeted me at the door. "That was fast," he said cheerfully. "Your hair looks great!"
