Ärende: RE: keeping cool
========================
Hey Ruth!
-> 
-> ->  hn> "perfect" locale yet. I'm patient, and sooner
-> ->  hn> or later I'll spot the ideal roof, or balcony
-> ->  hn> and visit with the owners.
-> 
-> -> After all, the saying is, "good things come to those that wait"; keep
-> -> that in mind as you look for sites. But, "he who hesitates is lost" so
-> -> don't put off the search too long. (G)
-> 
->  hn> It's not the highest thing on my list of priorities,
->  hn> and if I spot the "perfect location" I'll probably
->  hn> make a pitch to the owner, but I'm not spending
->  hn> a lot of time "scouting" right now.
-> 
-> I know the feeling; I've got a lot of things to do before we head out,
-> then more when we come back. When we get home, I'll have about 6 
weeks
-> to work on baby things before heading out again.  Then it'll most likely
-> be getting ready for the big move.  So, some thngs that I'd love to do,
-> I'm just putting on hold for a while.
-> 
I tend to keep a lot of irons in the fire simultaneously
(grin) myself. 
-> 
-> 
->  hn> Anne loved them..the front of the apt (facing the Pali) had
->  hn> those famouse louvered windows...so you had to be careful
-> 
-> I didn't like those windows. We had the frosted ones which meant you
-> couldn't see out of them.  The only window in the kitchen didn't have a
-> good view anyway--our concrete courtyard with laundry lines. Even now,
-> the military did't give an interesting view out of the kitchen
-> window--the small side yard that currently needs a mowing.
-> 
Ours were just plain glass, it was nice that we could
adjust them to suit our whims.

->  hn> even with them! We'd usually open the lanai door about
->  hn> 3-6 inches, and open the louvered windows about 1/3 of
->  hn> the way and it would give a very nice breeze through the
->  hn> whole apt...funny, it's been 35 years but I can still
->  hn> draw that apt out and remember where everything was!
-> 
-> If I thought about it, I probably could do it with most every place I've
-> lived too. (G) The kitchen in our quarters in TX had some features I'd
-> like to remember for when we (if we) eventually build a house.
-> 
Old saying...We can't control the wind
But we CAN adjust our sails !

-> 
->  hn> Well, you could talk Steve into it (grin)
-> 
-> He was doing some stitching (and "reverse stitching) the other night at
-> the Project Linus get together. (G) He's used the rotary cutter some but
-> prefers I do my own quilt cutting.
-> 
I can do rudimentary sewing, buttons and mending tears
anything beyond that, is beyond me! 

-> ->  hn> what I found at the ball game...Even the East Coast
-> ->  hn> Canadians were pretty vocally anti Quebec.
-> 
-> -> Maybe they should try the secessionist thing again?  BTW, how do you 
ask
-> -> for a Big Mac in French--or do its jingle (which I'm hearing on TV
-> -> again)?
-> 
->  hn> Le Big Mac, Some things tend to be come universal, "le bandaid"
->  hn> "ok", come to mind quickly for me...even in Japan, they say
->  hn> OK!
-> 
-> And the lanugage purists of the various countries get upset. But, it's
-> easier than trying to tangle your tongue around a French description (I
-> did read one once) of a Big Mac.  As for OK, the verbal my be common to
-> various languages but the visual (circle of thumb and index finger) I
-> understand to be not so polite in some cultures.
-> 
-> 
Very polite way you put it...yeh, it's 
quite not so polite (grin)
chat with you soon!
