Hi Sean,

 RH> And you can't knowck down any walls to make them bigger. We could have
 RH> a bit more room if we had smaller furniture, less sewing and computer
 RH> stuff, fewer kitchen things, etc but right now, that's the way things

 SD> I'd love to knock down the wall between the back room and the "spare"
 SD> room (the one with the door on the side near the carport)...that would
 SD> make it useful.

but like us, you're renting, right? Landlords don't take too kindly to
re-arrainging the rooms done by knocking down walls.


 RH> Sigh! I just finished (except for some written work) a week end class.
 RH> It's a Pass/Fail, probably the only one I'll take with that kind of
 RH> grading. Now only 3 classes to go for my Diploma in Women's Studies. I
 RH> think Steve is going to use all but a few months of his GI Bill
 RH> benefits.

 SD> That's good he's got those though.  You spend a good portion of your
 SD> life in service to your country and I'd hope he'd get the benefits
 SD> that are due to him.

That was the original plan, even when we planned to do just 4 years in
the Army. Of course having the other benefits is nice too, even if
there's no close by PX or commissary. Maybe where we move to after here,
there will be a close one. VA isn't too far away and Tricare is still at
an affordable level so over all, we're doing pretty well.


 RH> More power to you. How many classes is a full load? Steve has 4
 RH> academic plus Chapel Choir for 13 hours but is probably going to drop
 RH> the choir next year. He needs 90 hours to graduate and will have 55 at
 RH> the end of this semester.

 SD> I think it's 12 hours to be full-time at ETSU.

That's pretty much the norm most places that operate on a semester set
up. Some have tri-mesters or quarters but I think the semester plan is
the most common one.


 RH> Good, because I like it better than pepsi. (G)

 SD> I was always raised on Pepsi, but after seeing an Oregon State Trooper
 SD> use Coke to clean up blood at a car accident, that really turned me
 SD> off.

I wasn't raised on either but my mom inherited some stock in Coke after
her mom died in 1974. My folks started buying it then, got rid of the
stock a while ago but still buy some Coke products. I compared the taste
of Coke & pepsi, liked the Coke better and have stuck with it as much as
I could.

 RH> I'm sure we will all hear the good news quickly.

 SD> I hope it's good news.  Can't take any more bad. :P

I hear you on that one.


 RH> Rare cat that will consent to a leash and harness. I tried one with
 RH> Jenny-cat; it was not one of her favorite things.

 SD> Felix loves to go outside and I did make a temporary leash out of some
 SD> small rope and a surgeon's knot and he walked right on down the
 SD> sidewalk in front of the house. :)

Just remember, he's a cat and cats can be quite contrary. They own you,
not the other way around.


 RH> Hopefully no breakables in the area.

 SD> No, but if I have papers on my desk or anything else...or worse yet, a
 SD> full glass of liquid...

Just remember to keep a clean desk and the full glass of liquid in your
hand or otherwise out of kitty range.


 RH> It's just as bad reading when you're hungry--and don't have the
 RH> ingredients on hand to make whatever you're reading about. (G)

 SD> I'm like that a lot. :)

I think we all are to a certain extent.
