In a word, yes, that is at least headed in the right direction!!

Anne's family is very old school.....they don't believe in divorce....they
believe 
in funerals (grin)! I'm lucky though....I spent 6 years on my own being a 
bachelor and got that out of my system....and I was smart enough to 
recognize Anne as the wonderful girl she was and that I'd be a bigger fool to 
let her go than I'd ever been before....I immediately changed all my life plans

and asked her to marry me and we have been lucky in love ever since.

Have you talked to a good nutritionist on good ways to get calcium in you in 
forms that will be used easily?

-> Last night I did supper in 2 stages.  While some turkey Italian sausages

-> all in the fridge until Steve called about an hour later, then sauteed
-> the veggies & browned the sausage.  With a slice of whole wheat bread,
-> it made a good supper; had a small thing (6oz) of strawberry yogurt
-> later for a bit more calcium.  Tonight will be a commissary run; we
-> usually go out for a quick supper beforehand.
-> 
I do a very similar dish with the onions red and green bell peppers and italian

sausages ( I boil em in beer) that are chopped into chunks and added to the 
pepper melange and put on hoagie rolls....a devine meal any time!!
chat with you soon
