Fork You, Eddie!
Behold the power of the golden fork!
I received a gold fork in the mail from Laura Collins after participating in the Virtual Family dinner. The gold fork was a quite adorable little lapel pin, except I'm not really a pin kind of girl. I am, however, a creative kind of girl and I thought, "Hmmm...wouldn't that make a cute necklace..."
I easily removed the sticky pin part from the back of the fork and set about to make a hole in the fork by pounding a nail into it.
I dented the first nail.
And the second.
And the third.
Son of a...
I finally got out my dad's power drill, found the smallest bit I could, and drilled a hole in the fork. It took almost a minute of drilling to make the hole.
Ed, you don't stand a chance against the golden fork. May that be a message to all sufferers and parents, friends and family.
If you are interested in purchasing a necklace, please email me at carrierobin@comcast.net I will be working out costs and proceeds portions between me, Laura, and the National Eating Disorders Association, with the money earmarked for anorexia research.
Ed doesn't stand a chance.

You are definately right about that Carrie, if you continue to work as hard and be as persistent with your recovery as you were at turing that pin into a necklace, ED doesnt stand a chance!
Sam,
I just need my power drill to fight ED.
Safety glasses? Check.
Protective head gear? Check.
Gloves? Check.
Power drill? Check.
Bye-bye ED!
Yes, great determination Carrie. Would be a great if you added some other tools, as charms, which you've used in your fight. A pen for writing, a book, beads in between for beading, on and on, your choice. Maybe a butterfly for transformation.
Can you tell I like to gather things?
Anyway, you are quite the warrior in how you tackled that pin to necklace project. You never gave up. Well done!
