would just like to let u know that sadly Elizabeth died on the Friday 5th March. We send our love to the Lennox family and hope that they can smile and remember all the wonderful memories they had with Elizabeth.

Yesterday I received a letter from the NCSP telling me I don't need to have any repeat smear tests since I (evidently) have had a full hysterectomy. Obviously, this is not the case (unless I was abducted by aliens over the holidays). Clearly, it is not just the reading of the smear test and bungled pathology that is a problem for NCSP. My GP suspects the NCSP have mistaken me for another Demelza Murphy. This is fine for this kind of mistake, but what if I was told I had cancer, yet the real cancer victim was oblivious of the fact. I am about to ring the NCSP now and sort this out; however I did think of Elizabeth Lennox and feel fortunate that their mistake for me doesnt mean my life - and that it was so blanzingly obvious a mistake. How many other women are being failed by the health system?!?!? If women had the choice for privately / independently tested smear tests that were more fool proof *(at whatever cost), the opportunity would likely be taken by many.

Dear 60 Minutes, I am getting sick of CBS bashing Sara Palin. You left wing nuts are scared to death of her. Your 01/10/10 show just repeated your scares. Your people said that Sara Palin would not be the kind of VP we are used to. Thank God for that. This woman is the kind of person I want into office. Some one with an honest bone in her body. I am sick of the Clintons, Reeds, and Nancy P's of this country. This country is going to HELL in a hand basket and as a tax payer and voter of this country I am sick of it. We need a leader who is not in bed with the left or right. Billie
