Good morning Ruth!
-> 
-> -> Well, we didn't get ours on sale--Steve wanted it before we took off for
-> -> our trip last summer.  By getting it a few weeks before we left, it gave
-> -> him a chance to check it out locally.
-> 
->  hn> I like it when I can look and ponder, go back and look and compare
->  hn> then go back and finally make a purchase. Drives the
->  hn> salesperson nutz but I don't care (grin).
-> 
-> Steve does a lot of his comparing on line; don't know if he researched
-> this or not.  The kicker for us was the reccommendation of another
-> customer.
-> 

Which may be what swings me one way or the other as well!

-> 
->  hn> Anne's bachelor and master's degrees are special ed as
->  hn> well. She signs ASL fairly well, but since she's been in
->  hn> the "regular" classroom she's lost a bit of it due to lack
-> 
-> I know, I've lost a lot of my sign for lack of use.  That, and nerve
-> damage to the left hand (from the elbow break in 2001) have made me
-> pretty much stop using it.  I got my BA in sociology and was going to
-> get a Masters in special ed, hearing impaired but family came along
-> and............Now it would more likely be something in the design line
-> I think.
-> 
-> 
->  hn> of use. My sister in Knoxville is fluent in ASL and French
->  hn> (now isn't that odd).
-> 
-> Not really; I'm most fluent in ASl, can get by in German and know a bit
-> of Spanish (enough for some essential questions plus a bit more).  I've
-> picked up words from other languages over the years and travels as well.
-> 

That was tongue in cheek (grin) we all were (at one time) 
fluent in french, my sister got to be fluent in ASL when
she worked at Oakridge in TN, many of thier empoyees 
were hearing impaired so ASL was often the language 
of the breakroom and lunchroom. My sister got fluent
enough to teach it at one point!

-> -> celebrities who sat at that particular seat when visiting.  Rachel &
-> -> David's side had a Cyndi Lauper tag; they knew who she was but they
-> -> didn't know the Johnny Dersham (Dershowitz? the OJ DA) tag on Steve's
-> -> and my side.  As I recall, the food was good but not as good as we've
-> -> found Uncle Bubba's to be.
-> 
->  hn> I know who Cyndi Lauper is (she has a great singing voice)
->  hn> but have never heard of the Johnny either..the only Johnny
->  hn> I remember being associated with OJ, was Johnny Cochoran
->  hn> his defense slick.
-> 
-> OK, I know I know the name from somewhere but not neccessarily the OJ
-> trial.  Yes, Cochrane was the big name on it, as well as Judge Ito.
-> 

I didn't pay that much attention to it though 
it seemed to be a national craze at the time!

-> 
-> ->  hn> My "other" favorite place the Library! Back when
-> 
-> -> We went quite often with our girls too. (G)
-> 
->  hn> Still go there by myself at times...but not nearly
->  hn> as often as when Amanda and I were "discovering"
->  hn> things at the library!
-> 
-> We've not really gone that often the past few years--makes a difference
-> when you've got kids out of the house and internet now.
-> 

Same here, but I do get there usually at least once a month!
Books are STILL fun!


-> -> -> (without radiation, less with) still means a 3 in 4 chance it won't.
-> 
-> ->  hn> Take it easy 25% is still a big number!
-> 
-> -> I know, but 75% is a bigger one. And, with radiation, that number will
-> -> get bigger.
-> 
->  hn> We live in hope!
-> 
-> And faith.
-> 
-> BTW, the Rodale book is "Lose Weight the Smart Low-Carb Way" by Bettina
-> Newman MD and David Joachim, ISBN#1-57954-438-X.  Look it up; I think
-> you would like it.

Put it on the list, thanks!
