=======================
 ML> Yecch. This year I've been allergy- and cold-free (knocking on head),
 ML> perhaps adapting to living with vast quantities of dog hair.
 SD> I've been lucky too...maybe I'll have a year where I don't spend a
 SD> holiday being admitted into the hospital.

Although the other night I had an enormous bleed - there was
blood all over my hands and on Carol's arms and back. Don't
know what that was all about.

 SD> I'm still thinking about getting my master's in library science also;
 SD> seems that librarians that are really good with computers are in
 SD> demand still.

So two masters' in the plans? Plus an engineering cert? More
power to you. I hope you like long hours and lack of sleep.

 SD> I'll probably be in my late 40s before I get all of this done, but
 SD> hey, better late than never. <G>

True enough, but remember that student loans don't pay
themselves back. Jackie is faced with crushing loans that I
can't see a lowly history professor being able to pay off for
decades (unless she finds someone rich to marry - I tried to
push her onto my friend Nicholas once or twice, but that
didn't fly).
