This message is from: "Denise's" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> dear carol m. i know what you are saying. i sometimes don't wear mine either. but this could have been avoided with a simple head protector. but i agree with you than what better way to go, than fom the back of a horse. quick and easy. it still is a personal choice. i just feel i still have too much living to do, than to risk ending it too soon. thanks for you input, denise in northern calif.
