Hey Ruth!

-> ->  HN> I think my Dr will be pretty
-> ->  HN> pleased with how things have been
-> ->  HN> going for me...lost a few pounda
-> 
-> -> Sounds good to me. I need to work on losing a few pounds too, but not 
a
-> -> whole lot. Ought to try to firm up some muscles too; that would allow 
me
-> -> to drop several sizes.
-> 
->  HN> Dunno what's going on, the last few days
->  HN> I've been getting higher numbers but I have
->  HN> not been eating a whole lot of carbs...gonna
->  HN> keep an eye on things...
-> 
-> I do keep an eye on the carbs--as they go on to the fork and up to the
-> mouth. (G) Seriously, I should cut back some on them but they're genuine
-> whole grain ones (not like some breakfast cereals advertise) and really
-> good for you. But, I do need to push more fruits & vegetables.
->
we went out to dinner with some 
friends last night. Thai food,
which I love! I had Larb Gai as 
hot as they make it...which really
was not that hot but it was good!!
We even had dessert sticky rice and
I had a nice serving of it..and my 
number this morning was 149..the lowest
reading of the week...and the most carbs!
Dunno! 
Gonna try to work in more exercise..not
snow shoveling though!!
 
-> -> Anybody that has that option but goes for something else, probably
-> -> doesn't know how much better the blasting method is. Either that or
-> -> their doctor is way behind the times.
-> 
->  HN> Or they just like the pain...me I'd go for
->  HN> quick and easy every time!!
-> 
-> I would too, given the choice. Never had kidney stones tho, so never had
-> the option.
->
Hope you NEVER have to make the
decision!
 
-> ->  HN> This one seems to be built just for
-> ->  HN> that type of person, lots of things
-> ->  HN> to do, a community center with potlucks
-> ->  HN> and activities, and lots of places that
-> ->  HN> you can get to by golfcart alone.
-> ->  HN> Sounds like fun to me!
-> 
-> -> Sounds like a good option to me as well. The community my in laws
live
-> -> in has all sorts of activities--ice cream socials, dinner dances,
-> -> sandwich lunches--as well as things like shuffleboard, water
aerobics,
-> -> golf, quilting, etc. You could keep busy all day, every day if you
-> -> wanted to but I'd still like the option of having a grocery store,
-> -> medical clinic, etc right within the park. But, it's a co-op owned
one
-> -> now so I guess they have to go with what the majority wants. Getting
-> -> zoning regs for some amenities might be an issue as well.
-> 
->  HN> The two sound similar with the exception of
->  HN> the "extras" that Anne's aunt has. You can be
->  HN> as "involved" as you'd like to be.
->  HN> Me? I tend to do my best to stay OUT of
->  HN> Florida!
-> 
-> We'd probably be active in some things, but not a whole lot. I think
-> newcomers join a lot, then drop as they see how much time is needed for
-> them. After all, you need some time for things like sleeping, going to
-> the doctor, etc. As for living in Florida full (or even part) time, I'm
-> not sold on it. Love bugs in the spring and fall--big time yuck! Hot and
-> extremely humid weather in the summer--another yuck! I'll go there to
-> visit my in laws and friends tho. Met one couple this past trip who live
-> there only in the winter; the rest of the year they live in PA, same
-> county (Snyder) as our friends I've mentioned. Steve did some computer
-> trouble shooting for him; she's a pink survivor also.
-> 
there are times when I think I'd
like to be a "snowbird" and have 
a place in AZ or even Sanddy Eggo.
(as if I could afford either one!)
But to be honest, most of the time
I like it right here!

-> ->  HN> Get the pulmonologist to convince Steve of that!
-> 
-> -> Easier said than done at this point. Coould go to Army web site White
-> -> Pages directory to find him.  But, we're not moving from here for 
almost
-> -> a year at least, maybe beyond that, depending on how soon Steve finds 
a
-> -> job after graduation.
-> 
->  HN> You mean you don't have a pulmonologist
->  HN> now?
-> 
-> I do, over in Chapel Hill. Had one in GA too but the one I had in HI was
-> hard to beat. Military, stationed at Tripler, before we came and was
-> still there when we left.
->
Then get the Chapel Hill pulmonologist to convince Steve! 
As for the one at Tripler...can you blame him for wanting
to stay there?? 

-> -> I think you'll enjoy it. Much tastier than plain white rice. (G)
-> 
->  HN> We have not used white rice in quite a
->  HN> while, brown or red...and Anne favors
->  HN> the red.
-> 
-> I don't think I've had it by itself but have had it in the Lundberg
-> blends. Guess I ought to hunt some up (down?) and give it a try; I
-> suspect Whole Foods Market would be a good place to look for it.
-> 
We get it in bulk at the store
a wee bit more expensive but Anne's
worth it!
chat with you soon!
