 NB>>> long-term...  And is he accepting it...?
 RH>> Official word is he's being moved for rehab, unofficial word is that

 NB>> That will probably be more obvious as time goes on, especially if he
 NB>> doesn't make a lot of progress in strengthening... It would be good if
 NB>> they could do something to mitigate the sciatica, too... 

 RH> He's accepting that it is long term now.

Perhaps the situation at home was becoming enough of a hassle for him,
too, that this doesn't seem to be quite so bad an option after all...

 NB>> How far from your brother will he be there...?

 RH> Dad is in Oneonta, about an hour's drive away. Most all of the roads
 RH> are 2 lane, secondary type.

Not too too far away... but not especially convenient... Probably there
just weren't any openings in the M'vile home... Pretty much you get
what's available, when the point comes...   
 
 RH>> He has one on a wall in that room but has always used the kitchen one
 RH>> for writing in appointments. It's something he and Mom did for years,
 RH>> at least as long as I can remember.
 NB>> Ah, so it has tradition behind it, too...

 RH> More of a case of having the one in the kitchen being the one for all
 RH> the family scheduling of medical appointmets, school events, etc.
 RH> Helped to have it all in one, accessible location.
 
True, especially when it was a family calendar...  :)  Doesn't mean it
couldn't be changed, but that's where one looks for it...  :)

 RH>> And the kitchen blind cabinet corner slide out is reality now. Steve
 RH>> put it in today. One more item off the list.
 NB>> Very nice..  :)  More good storage available now..  :)

 RH> A bit less storage, in reality, but definately better availability of
 RH> what is back there. Our QoV co-ordinator saw it today and was
 RH> impressed. 

If things are to be used, it's better to have them accessible...  :)

 RH> We hear, every so often from the girls, how much they appreciate how
 RH> we brought them up, even tho they didn't appreciate it when they were
 RH> younger. (G)

Or at least they didn't acknowledge it back then...  :)

 RH>> I heard on the news tonight that Ringling Brothers is doing away
 RH>> with elephants in their travelling circuses effective 2018. Of
 RH>> course PETA is saying, "why not now?".
 NB>> I heard that too.  I don't guess that anyone asked the elephants
 NB>> if they did or didn't want to be in the circus... they might miss
 NB>> it, it having been their life all their life...  :)

 RH> Some of them might miss it, others, be glad not to be performing.
 RH> Younger ones will just have to listen to stories about the "good old
 RH> circus days." (G)

I wonder if the old ones miss the Big Tent days...  ;)

ttyl        neb

... Chopped cabbage....it's not just a good idea... it's the SLAW!
