Ärende: Dinner out
==================
->  RH> Sometimes it works for you rather than the other way around.
-> 
-> Yes, but overall I've found at Tripler they do work for you vs against
-> you most of the time.  This dr has gone the extra mile more than once
-> for me.
-> 
Doctors like insurance companies and their idiotic paperwork even less than
their patients do.  
 
-> And you've more of everything to choose from to begin with.  We're
-> looking at cars (again, more seriously now) and having to do the
-> explaining to dealers that "now, we're just looking; we will buy on the
-> mainland so as to avoid your $2-3000. tacked on for Hawaii shipping
-> cost".  It irks some of them but ..................

Now is the time to get into shopping over the Web.  You can figure out what
you want, and then order it from a dealer near where you'll be living. 
Then, pick it up when you get there.:-)
 
->  RH> It had a meaning at some time, but these days who knows?
-> 
-> Probably as in ship's hold vs going over via a slower way of transport.
-> Anyway, I'm mentally assembling a kitchen list of things to go to have
-> on hand when we first get to GA. Since I can't carry too much weigh
-> wise, it'll be send ahead (but I wish I could carry on a sewing
-> machine).

You could handle the one I got for my birthday, provided you could get it
to work!  I tried and couldn't.  It's one of those little mini critters
that's mostly plastic.  They're light enough to run on batteries.
 
->  RH> I've heard of that being done, but it's not common methinks - at
least
->  RH> off of a military base.
-> 
-> Not that common in the miltary either, usually either GI hasn't done
-> things in a timely manner to get it going originally; it's an emergency
-> situation; or something has come up at the last minute to change plans.

In the military, I can see all three happening at once.
