=====================
Hiya Ruth!
-> 
-> -> -> It's one way to get the dusting done, I'll bet - and a great argument
-> -> -> against clutter.
-> -> -> 
-> -> 
-> -> That's a certainty! If you leave it laying around it 
-> -> will fly away! One also learns to insure that the 
-> -> door and windows are firmly shut before opening
-> -> the lanai door! All in all a small price to pay for 
-> -> living in Hawaii though!
-> 
-> I've always wondered about people who complained about being forced to
-> transfer out there.  Outside of high prices on some imported commodities,
-> what's the problem.  Fresh tropical fruit from a tree in the back yard? 
-> Geckos in the rafters?
-> 
Lots of people don't like Hawaii for one reason.....
it's an island, and you can't get off. No matter which
direction you drive, you're gonna end up at the BEACH!
For some folks that's never an issue (me, I loved it!)
for others it gives them a sort of claustrophobic effect
that they can't seem to shake and they begin to hate
the island and everything island! Those that get "island
happy" can't wait to get off the island...and don't understand
the other people who aren't "island happy".

-> -> -> -> Mine's acting up a bit lately too....happily
-> -> -> -> now that I'm retired I don't have to  use
-> -> -> -> sick leave to give it a rest!
-> -> -> 
-> -> -> Just grab the heating pad and make like a lazy slob until it decides
-> to
-> -> -> shut up and leave you alone?
-> -> ->  
-> -> 
-> -> I generally start with an ice pack
-> -> then heat alternating every 30 minutes.
-> 
-> ...and still make like a lazy slob until it lets up?  This sounds like a
-> good time to be a guinea pig at a theraputic massage school.  
-> 
Making like a lazy slob is not really a good reference as a slob
would not keep trying to get up and do stuff. My sister in law 
(Anne's younger sister) is a licensed Massage Practioner and used
to teach at a school of massage....but her hands are too strong
for my back!

-> 
-> -> -> A friend of mine swears by his.  He's got a bad back and a worse hip,
-> -> and I
-> -> -> think the mattress is the only reason he got any sleep for a while
-> -> there.
-> -> -> (Then he started getting regular massages two or three days a
-> week....)
-> -> ->  
-> -> 
-> -> I've heard a couple of other 
-> -> people speak highly of them....pricey though!
-> -> 
-> They aren't cheap.  A decent mattress topper might be an alternative; you
-> can get a good one for a few hundred instead of a few thousand.  Try that
-> first and if you like it you can always go all in later.  Overstock and
-> Smartbargains both carry them.
->  

Thanks I'll look!

-> -> -> That's more than I usually get.  Then again, I'm generally a one beer
-> -> drunk
-> -> -> so it's just as well.
-> -> ->  
-> -> I don't think most people would consider you a drinker at all 
-> -> I'm not much of a beer drinker...I like scotch better, and 
-> -> even wine is better. But a cold beer with a hot slice of
-> -> pizza sure ain't bad either! 
-> 
-> I do drink occasionally, just very moderately.  I actually like beer; I
-> just rarely drink it.  I sometimes like wine, and would have no problem
-> trying out single malts.  Armagnac is wonderful stuff, as is buffalo grass
-> vodka.  The latter I can find because there's a good-sized Russian
-> population here and has been since the Soviet Union started letting Jews
-> leave.
->   
Armagnac is good! vodka I can leave alone and never feel
as if I've missed anything of worth! 
chat with you soon
