Hey Ruth!

-> ->  hn> life just keeps getting tougher (grin)
-> 
-> -> But you wouldn't want to go the opposite way & shirnk down to nothing
-> -> would you?
-> 
->  hn> In a word, yes, that is at least headed in the right direction!!
-> 
-> Well, head that way but know when to stop.  I know, easier said than
-> done with so much good food out there to steer us upward. (G)

So far I've never had that problem (grin). 
-> 
-> ->  hn> same here, a sad commentary on our society that people are just 
as
-> ->  hn> easliy discarded as objects.
-> 
-> -> Very much so; serial monogamy is not the intention of being married for
-> -> life means.  OTOH, Steve & I kid that we took each other for better or
-> -> worse and sometimes one of us is worse than the other one took us for.
-> -> He spoils me tho. (G)
-> 
->  hn> Anne's family is very old school.....they don't believe in
->  hn> divorce....they believe
->  hn> in funerals (grin)! I'm lucky though....I spent 6 years on my own
->  hn> being a bachelor and got that out of my system....and I was smart
->  hn> enough to
->  hn> recognize Anne as the wonderful girl she was and that I'd be a bigger
->  hn> fool to let her go than I'd ever been before....I immediately changed
->  hn> all my life plans and asked her to marry me and we have been lucky in
->  hn> love ever since.
-> 
-> I think it took Steve moving to NC just before my senior year of college
-> for us to really realise we had such a good in our relationship.  Even
-> tho we met in January, 72 & didn't get married until September, 75, we
-> were only together about month, total--but it was long enough to know we
-> wanted to be together for the rest of our lives.  Letters and phone
-> calls sufficed in the gaps between seeing each other; after one time
-> (fairly early on) of going for 5 1/2 months, we said "never again that
-> long" and kept to that.
-> 
Anne and I had to deal with several of my submarine's patrols ( 3 mos with 
NO contact at all no phone no letters no nuthin). We each would make a 
package for the other with cards and gifts and special goodies in it to be 
opened at pre-determined times while I was at sea. And even though it was 
not nearly as good as being able to get actual mail, it sure was a comfort on 
those long patrols!

-> ->  hn> put your foot down (figuratively!!) and demand some response 
and a
-> ->  hn> reliable diagnosis that can get you on the track to being whole 
again!
-> 
-> -> appointment scheduled for the 15th.  Part of the problem is, it's a
-> -> stress fracture in a bad area and my bones aren't in the greatest shape.
-> -> Back in 1993 I got the diagnosis of osteopenia--not full blown
-> -> osteoporosis but if I don't watch out, it could go that way easily.  So
-> -> far I've been doing OK but part of that is taking a calcium suppliment
-> -> plus Fosamax (for almost 10 years now), chugging lots of soy milk which
-> 
->  hn> Have you talked to a good nutritionist on good ways to get calcium in
->  hn> you in forms that will be used easily?
-> 
-> No, actually I eat better than a lot of them do. (G)
-> 
Hmmm, you must know different nutritionists than I do! I don't think I'd trust 
the ones you know!

-> -> were steaming, I cut up some garlic, onion and green pepper.  Shoved it
-> -> 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
-> 
->  hn> I do a very similar dish with the onions red and green bell peppers
->  hn> and italian sausages ( I boil em in beer) that are chopped into chunks
->  hn> and added to the pepper melange and put on hoagie rolls....a devine
->  hn> meal any time!!
-> 
-> If I'd have had mushrooms, they would have been added to the mix.
-> Steve's mom taught me the basic onion/pepper mix but I took it the step
-> further and added the mushrooms & garlic--much to Steve's enjoyment. 
(G)
-> We also use the hot turkey sausage vs the mild pork based one she does.
-> 
I've also added the mushrooms from time to time, but it's still very fine 
without them!
chat with you soon
