Hi Nancy,


 NB>  NB>> Never know what they'll find once they start testing...  ;)

 RH> If that isn't the truth! Had a nerve conduction test on the left wrist
 RH> today; doctor suspects some carpal tunnel issues as well as arthritis.
 RH> Surprise, surprise (not!).

 NB> About what you were expecting, wasn't it...

Arthritis, yes I knew I had some. Steve nailed the carpal tunnel.


 NB>  RH>> We're in New Orleans for a few days (leaving tomorrow).
 NB>  NB>> That sounds like much more fun than the hospital... (G)

 RH> Much more fun! We helped make history by being part of the election of
 RH> the first black president of the Southern Baptist Convention.

 NB> I read about that in the paper...  so, you were there.  :)

Part of the standing ovation.


 NB>  RH>> I had grilled shrimp (outstanding, almost melt in the mouth!!!)
 RH> I could make a meal on just those shrimp! But then my cholesterol
 RH> numbers would be out of this world.

 NB> Only if you made a practice of it...  a one-off shouldn't make that
 NB> much difference...

Probably not so I guess it's a good thing we don't live closer to the
coast. Usually when I get seafood, I'll get a 2 combination of shrimp
and scallops. Both, if fresh and cooked properly, just about melt in
your mouth. If older and overcooked, they're almost as rubbery as
calamari, another of my favorites.

 RH> I'm trying to stay caught up for now; we'll be traveling again soon.

 NB> Likewise... I'm heading out to our camp on the Pond tomorrow (3rd) for
 NB> a week, coming back the 10th...

Hope you have fun.


 RH> Heading north soon, we'll get to western NY on the 17th. Other than
 RH> the 21st, we've no plans but to visit family. We'll be heading south
 RH> around the 23rd; want to get together?

 NB> Sure.  I'm hoping to get to the Picnic at Janis's still, so likely
 NB> there for the full time (19-23) if at all possible... But possibly the
 NB> 18th
 NB> would work... and possibly more flexible if I end up not getting to
 NB> the Picnic after all...

OK, I ran it by Steve and he agreed to it. We may combine it with a trip
to Olindo's Italian Market again.

 NB> ... Food is our common ground, a universal experience.

 RH> A lot of truth in that; we've all got to eat to stay alive. Some eat
 RH> better than others but we all eat something.

 NB> Exactly.   :)

I just had a couple of Akmak crackers with herbed cream cheese--about 12
carbs--simple but tasted good and enough of a munchie that I wasn't left
wanting more. One date is 18 carbs so I'd have to nibble it really slow
to get a feeling of fullness from it. Figuring out how much I can eat of
different things is our newest challenge, thankfully a lot of stuff is
nutrition labeled now. Last night I portion packed some dry cereal and
cashews, labeling them with the carb count so I can take them next week.
It will save taking a box & measuring--and having to eat my parent's
cereals that have HFCS in them.
