Ärende: Dinner out
==================
Hi Ruth,

-> Yes, but overall I've found at Tripler they do work for you vs against
-> you most of the time.  This dr has gone the extra mile more than once
-> for me.

 RH> Doctors like insurance companies and their idiotic paperwork even less
 RH> than their patients do.

He doesn't have to deal with that much Tri-care stuff right now.  OTOH,
last fall when some paperwork of mine needed renewing, he took time in
the appointment to fill it out on the spot even tho it put us way over
the scheduled time allowed for the appointment.


-> explaining to dealers that "now, we're just looking; we will buy on the
-> mainland so as to avoid your $2-3000. tacked on for Hawaii shipping

 RH> Now is the time to get into shopping over the Web.  You can figure out
 RH> what you want, and then order it from a dealer near where you'll be

Actually, we'll pick it up wherever we decide to fly in to & drive it
cross country.  But yes, Steve has been burning up his keyboard trying
to get price quotes from various dealers in different cities/states.

-> Anyway, I'm mentally assembling a kitchen list of things to go to have
-> on hand when we first get to GA. Since I can't carry too much weigh
-> wise, it'll be send ahead (but I wish I could carry on a sewing
-> machine).

 RH> You could handle the one I got for my birthday, provided you could get
 RH> it to work!  I tried and couldn't.  It's one of those little mini
 RH> critters that's mostly plastic.  They're light enough to run on
 RH> batteries.

One of those that's no more than a toy?  Rachel's MIL gave her one (yes,
I got it working for her) of those.  After I tried it, I got her a
proper sewing machine.  I also got my friend Marty's machine to work for
me; it never co-operated for her but purred for me.


->  RH> off of a military base.

-> Not that common in the miltary either, usually either GI hasn't done
-> things in a timely manner to get it going originally; it's an emergency
-> situation; or something has come up at the last minute to change plans.

 RH> In the military, I can see all three happening at once.

It's not unusual.  Steve is meeting with Transportation on Tuesday and
will try to set up an end of July pack out.  I've got to figure out what
sort of basic kitchen stuff to hold out--the Aloha furnishings are more
in the furniture only line.  Thought about holding out my 9 year old
microwave oven but Steve said we'll pick up a cheap little one after
pack out & mail it to GA when we leave. He also wants to get a set of
cheap pots & pans that we an sell or give away when we move.  I'll hold
out a cutting board, some knives, other basics but may start once a week
shopping and buying more convenience stuff like premade orange juice,
bread, etc.
