Too much manual labor lately is affecting my typing.

Requesting a secretary for Christmas.)

Hoping you have excellent rapport with Santa. (smiling).

I was gifted with a small hand shovel and two digging implements this past week (not exactly magazines, chocolates or perfume). Manual labor is good for us!!!

Off Topic: Back from the dead before organs removed

THE case of a man whose heart stopped beating for 90 minutes only to revive just as doctors were preparing to remove his organs for transplants is fuelling ethical debates in France about when a person is dead.

The 45-year-old man suffered a massive heart attack and rescuers used cardiac massage to try and revive him without success before transferring him to a nearby hospital.

Due to a series of complex circumstances, revival efforts continued for longer than usual for a patient whose heart was not responding to treatment, until doctors started preparations to remove organs.

It was at that point that the astonished surgeons noticed the man was beginning to breathe unaided again, his pupils were active, he was giving signs that he could feel pain -- and finally, his heart started beating again.

Several weeks later, the man can walk and talk.
