====================
Howdy Ruth!
-> 
-> -> -> No I won't.  This guy has more years of experience than the ones I 
saw
-> -> -> in HI.  He said that usually he handles stress fractures in the foot
-> 
-> ->  hn> Good that you have a guy with some experience in the field! (grin)
-> 
-> -> Yes; I think it's safe to say I'm on good footing with him. (G)  I also
-> -> met my new Primary Care Manager (Doctor) today to get a bunch of
-> -> re-writes on prescriptions and a consult for the CT scan.  I think he'll
-> -> be OK; he was questioning the use of some of my meds (appears to be
-> -> redundant unless you know how much I use of what, when) and he 
seemed
-> -> satisfied that I knew what I was talking about with my answers.  We 
got
-> -> agreed with Steve about getting a temporary handicap tag for the car
-> -> since the foot problem won't be resolved for a while yet so that
-> -> paperwork is now in process.
-> 
->  hn> Sounds like you have a couple of good ones; glad to hear it!
-> 
-> So far, so good. Now I've just got to make an appointment with the
-> Tricare referred pulminologist & see how well I can work with him over
-> the next few years.  BTW, the paperwork for the handicap tag came back
-> the same day and instead of being a one year temporary, they issued a 4
-> year one.
-> 
Sounds like you're getting quality people, hope that continues!

-> ->  hn> Shame there's some great fishing and hunting down in your area! 
My
-> ->  hn> folks live a few hours north of you near Sumter, so I know the area
-> 
-> -> Well, the world needs some computer nerds as well. (G) Yesterday we
-> -> visited one of Steve's co workers to get an idea of what our house lay
-> -> out will be.  Now we know pretty much what we want each of 
the "extra"
-> -> rooms to be; it'll help when I have to direct the movers on Nov.3.
->  hn> ->
->  hn> Hmmmm one for sewing...one for 'puters, one for sleeping.....I miss
->  hn> any? ->
-> 
-> 
-> A guest room, separate family and living rooms, dining room and utility
-> room.  We're going to flip flop the suggested dining and family room
-> spaces; the way the "flow" is, it'll work better.  Took a look at the
-> linen closet; it's much bigger than the one we had in HI so I'll be able
-> to stow more in there.  The sewing room has a walk in closet which will
-> be handy for all the stuff I've got (G) and the kitchen seems to have a
-> good bit of storage.  The utility room has more space for larger kitchen
-> things I'll only need occaisionally.
-> 
That's LOTS of vacuuming (grin)!

-> ->  hn> Edisto River just south of Charleston...now he's a gemcutter and 
one
-> ->  hn> of the best!
->  hn> ->
->  hn> ->
-> -> I suspect I'd enjoy seeing some of his work; I do appreciate good gem
-> -> cutting.
->  hn> ->
->  hn> If you are really interested I'll have him give you a call and arrange
->  hn> a visit.
-> 
-> 
-> Hmmmmmmmm, have to think about that.  It might work if you were to 
come
-> back east and visit him, then I could arrainge a get together.  That way
-> Steve could see some of his work too. (G)
-> 
Well that may happen, but it's not in the plans right now.
-> 
-> -> We'd like to do the canyon again too.  We spent a few hours there in 95
-> -> and talked about swinging by on our trip from Las Vegas to Surprise but
-> 
->  hn> That's what Helicopters are for Ruth! (Grin)
-> 
-> 
-> Time and money.  That was on the early end of our trip and we had to
-> meet Deborah in the late afternoon of that day.  Got away from Vegas a
-> bit later than we'd planned and spent some time at the dam so Steve
-> could shoot pictures.  Maybe another trip.
-> 
I think the Canyon will still be there! 

-> -> -> Deborah doesn't have a degree yet; Rachel has her bachelors in
-> 
-> ->  hn> Ah, I got it bacwards....Anne's finished her national cert...and I
-> -> Yes, but that's OK.  I don't think Rachel will go for her doctorate but
-> -> she could surprise us.  I think she is working on national certification
-> -> as well.
->  hn> ->
->  hn> Hmmm working on your masters and national cert at the same time 
would
->  hn> be very very very demanding! Anne can't go long with out having a
->  hn> "challenge" and once the national cert comes through...the only thing
->  hn> left will be the phd.
-> 
-> I'm not really sure if Rachel is working on the national certification
-> or not; I thought she'd said something about doing it but it could be
-> post masters planning. The school she teaches at is quite challenging
-> for her; the 3rd graders are doing some things she barely touched on in
-> her teacher training.  Some of the things have been eliminated from
-> public schools years ago, like diagramming sentences.  She's having fun
-> learning new (to her) things and relearning some things she barely
-> covered in teacher education.
-> 
Doing them sequentially makes a whole lot more sense, and both usually bring 
a pay raise when they are completed. Compound that with new curriculum 
she is teaching as well as learning, and most people would have a meltdown 
(grin)! Teaching is difficult enough on the good days! 
chat with you soon
