Hi Hap,

-> I suspect your back would stop you from doing it more than once; that
-> is, if you got past Annie to do it one time.

 HN> A few years back my doctor sat me down and told me I had "One good
 HN> fall" left in my back....when I asked him what that meant he told me
 HN> one more good (good meaning significant) fall could cause enough
 HN> damage that I might not be able to walk unassisted anymore. So I quit
 HN> around and don't relish the
 HN> thought of being wheelchair bound if I can prevent it. So while I
 HN> might really WANT to bunjee jump, I know I won't.

I know the feeling.  I wrecked my right knee whie in college and to keep
it functional I've had to give up a lot of activity.  OTOH, at age 7 I
broke my left elbow; at the time, the doctor said that if I ever did it
again, it would be unrepairable.  I did it again, 40 years later and
have about 95% of original function.  But, the doctor that repaired it
this time gave me the same warning so now I'm over cautious with it (and
other joints).  BTW, the foot is doing better overall; it still hurts if
I've been on my feet overly much but it's much better than it was, even
a year ago.

->  HN> But he lets you have as much as you want though right?

-> Generally, tho I usually only get it if I'm out.  I've got a Boston
-> out, if there's something else that looks more attractive on the menu, I
-> will probably go for that over the pork.

 HN> Like me and Annie with seafood...when I get it, it's usually when
 HN> we're out, or when Amanda is home to share it with me...Anne wouldn't
 HN> mind me cooking it for myself at home..but my thoughts are why cook
 HN> two meals at the same time? ->

Same here.  I was thinking of cooking some while Steve's folks were here
but that trip got postponed until who knows when.  Steve would have
eaten a bit but I'd have had some other meat for him, same sides most
likely.


->  HN> not much difference between the two versions, but it's not one that
->  HN> have cooked in a long time!

-> Same here; it used to be a meal stretcher when the girls were home, same
-> as sloppy joes or taco salad.  Now that it's the 2 of us, meat goes
-> further.

 HN> Living as a couple again certainly has it's perks!

Sure does!  We don't even have a cat, dog, bird or fish to worry about
so we can just get up & go whenever we want (outside of work schedules).

->  HN> I like bits of barbequed pork, or shredded chicken, stirfried
 HN> veggies

-> Sounds good.  We stopped at a new Chinese place Thursday night; pork
-> fried rice came with what we ordered (hunan chicken for Steve, shrimp
-> and broccoli for me).  They made up a vegetarian fried rice and egg roll
-> for Steve at no extra charge.  Got it for take out; on our way in the
-> gate on post, we got pulled over for a random all points inspection.
-> The meal was still hot when we got home.

 HN> Now that's one QUICK all points inspection!

It was a complete one.  Thing is, we were about 8 minutes from home when
we got the food; once we got on post, we were 5 minutes away.  So,
piping hot food cooled down to a nice eating temperature in the time it
took to get home, even with an inspection.  The egg rolls were a little
bit tough but not as tough as if they'd been under a buffet heat lamp
for who knows how long.

->  HN> New York pizzaria's...It's hand thrown and cooked in a woodfired
->  HN> oven...and quite expensive too $17 for a 16 inch cheese pizza!

-> That's a good pizza then.  We ended up not going to Hilton Head on
-> Saturday; instead, helped a couple from church move.  They ordered
-> Domino's pizza for lunch for the moving crew (us and another family from

 HN> It is a good pizza, but at that price we don't get it often (also its'
 HN> a higher carb meal than we usually go for anymore as well).

We've cut back from the once a week we had it when we were younger.
Most of the time we've had it, it's been home made.

-> We're in the low 60s and cloudy today. Definately fall weather; time to
-> get some soup going.

 HN> I picked up a really nice acorn squash at the local farmer's market
 HN> and will be using it in a soup this evening!

Sounds good to me.  We got a butternut squash at the commissary I'll be
roasting up soon.
