======================
Hey Ruth!
-> 
-> ->  hn> Much smaller workforce now than in years
-> ->  hn> past.
-> 
-> -> Very true.  Between Kodak and Xerox lay offs, that area is hurting.
-> -> Kodak got hit really bad by not developing their own version of a
-> -> digital camera soon enough; they thought the market for film would still
-> -> stay strong.
-> 
->  hn> I still have the major part of my spring 2003
->  hn> film order in the freezer at my workspace!
-> 
-> And praying for no melt downs.  Does that really prolong the film's life
-> or is it urban myth?
-> 
Nope it's a fact. It won't keep forever but it
will certainly keep long beyond it's "use by" 
date. 

-> -> -> dental appointments. Plus, we're cookig chili for church supper on 
Wed.
-> -> -> night--with corn bread muffins.
-> 
-> ->  hn> Spicy or not spicy? When I make it for
-> ->  hn> others to eat I usually "dumb" it down in
-> ->  hn> the spice dept.
-> 
-> -> We dumb it down too but bring various forms/levels of heat.  That way 
we
-> -> can't be blamed for making it too hot or mild.  There will be kids
-> -> eating this, probably ones not used to hot stuff (same with adults) so
-> -> it will have to be on the milder side.
-> 
->  hn> That's pretty much what I do as well.
->  hn> I have found that Melinda's dried habbie
->  hn> powder works well and does not have the
->  hn> nasty taste profile of fresh habbies.
-> 
-> We brought a bottle of home made psuedo-Malinda's hot sauce as well as
-> several other forms of heat.  Told the adults about it but kept it away
-> from the kids, for obvious reasons. (G)  One guy really liked the hot
-> stuff; another came in late, had a bowl (that had been set aside) cold,
-> no extra heat.  He liked it so much he hunted down the pot (still had
-> some warm chili in it) and had another bowl full, also without extra
-> heat.  No negative comments, even about the brown rice & whole wheat
-> corn muffins.  The rice cooker piqued curiosity tho.  The seminary is
-> sponsoring a chhili cook off in about a month; Steve will pick up an
-> entry form tomorrow.  Also found out that the church has a chhili cook
-> off on Super Bowl Sunday; from the feed back we got last night, mine
-> would be in serious contention for the top prize.
->
Go get 'em Ruth! A good bowl of 
red might win you a nice prize!!
 
-> ->  hn> Anne is like that, so when the alarm goes
-> ->  hn> off in the am, I get up, turn up the heat
-> ->  hn> (if it needs it) and turn the lights on and
-> ->  hn> start breakfast. By then Anne gets up and
-> ->  hn> heads for the shower (grin). I usually have
-> ->  hn> her breakfast made and lunch packed by
-> ->  hn> the time she gets out of the shower.
-> 
-> -> Energizer bunny!
-> 
->  hn> Pretty much. (grin) that and a short
->  hn> attention span....I get bored just laying
->  hn> there.
-> 
-> ADD/ADHA?  (G)
->
Nope, just never got used to just 
laying in bed. Never could get a tan
by laying on the beach either...too 
boring for me!

 
-> -> -> Let's hope not.  By this time tomorrow, surgery will be history.  Our
-> -> -> prayers are with you.
-> 
->  hn> Surgery went sort of well. I was told
->  hn> I still have great knees...at least
->  hn> the ligaments are, and no signs of
->  hn> any arthritis...they had to take an
->  hn> extra 45 minutes just to get past my
->  hn> ligaments to get to the interior of the
->  hn> joint where the meniscus tear was...
->  hn> all done now and since they had to
->  hn> work so hard (read brute force) to
->  hn> get past the ligaments...my hip and
->  hn> back are quite sore. I'm enjoying the
->  hn> pain pills quite a bit...even with my
->  hn> high tolerance for pain...it hurts.
-> 
-> I'm glad there's no arthritis; I'm full of it.  Probably all the time up
-> and down the steps at the ball park the last few years helped
-> strenghthen the ligaments.  The pain pills will help--don't be too quick
-> to stop using them as more than just the knee area needs help
-> recouperating.
->
Surgeon said that other than my meniscus 
tear, I had the knees of a 30 year old...that
was happy news!
 
-> ->  hn> I hope so, I have to call today to
-> ->  hn> find out what time the surgery is
-> ->  hn> and what time I have to show up.
-> 
-> -> And it's over & done now.
-> 
->  hn> Yay!!!
-> 
-> Was it morning or afternoon?
->
Reported at 7:30 am, home by noon
(I think) I was still pretty dopey for
the rest of the day.
 
-> ->  hn> Salmon and Balsamic reduction sounds good
-> ->  hn> to me...Anne would not touch it (grin).
-> 
-> -> We'll have to repost the recipe.  It's one we got from a Prevention cook
-> -> book while we were in HI, originally published for tuna but we found
-> -> salmon works well too.
-> 
->  hn> Have you ever tried teriaki Salmon?
->  hn> really really goood!
-> 
-> No, we've not tried it but yes, it does sound good.
->
trust me, it IS! 
 
-> -> BTW, Steve just said to say "HI to everyone". (G)
-> 
->  hn> Hey Steve!! (waving at computer)!
-> 
-> He had a chuckle out of that.
->
Life is meant to have a chuckle
every now and then! (grin)
-> 
chat with you soon!
