======================
Hi Carol,

RH> made the move over with Deborah and me on the Tricare dental plan; abo

 CS> Cant use that one out here much.  Comes in only when Don needed new
 CS> dentures.

You will be using it once you get back to the States tho.  It came in
while we were in Germany so we've been under it for 14 years now--and 3
dentists; one each in Massachusetts, Arizona and Hawaii.  Need to find
#4 for Georgia now that we've moved, always an "intersting" challenge.

RH> have a new kitchen trash can but it'll have to sit out on the floor
RH> between the dishwasher and one cabinet.  Had left the old one in HI an

 CS> Ours (all 3 due to Japan sorting) sit by the washing machine.

We have small ones scattered thruout the house but the kitchen one
catches a lot.  We also keep bags for the paper recycling and "all
other" recycling under the kitchen sink until full; then they go into
the recycle can outside for pick up.  Here, #s 1,2 & 5 plastic are
recylced as well as cans, bottles, etc--probably the most comprehensive
recylcing we've dealt with.

RH> and a small, pretty cabinet--there's no storage in the downstairs powd

 CS> I have a small standup unit too for same reasons.  Ended up fitting
 CS> nicely in our apartment. Back in the Cho, there was no storage other
 CS> than an overhead shelf in the toilet room.  The bathroom at least had
 CS> the undersink unit, but the toilet room was bare.  (For the others,
 CS> the Japan system has the toilet in a separate room from the one with
 CS> the tub).

Same as the first place we had in Germany; there was a toilet room and a
bath room.  I don't recall either of them having much storage, I think
the toilet room had a bit more than the minimalist bath room.

RH> except for new living room furniture and eventually a new bed set for
RH> us.  Some of the stuff is replacing old worn out with upgraded; some i
RH> new because the conditions require it--like a flat bottom wok for
RH> cooking on this stove.

 CS> We got a new bedroom unit about 2 years ago.  I'd have selected a
 CS> smaller one but Don was here and i wasnt.  I'm not sure how it's going
 CS> to fit in our house in Virginia...  Nice set but very big and heavy in
 CS> an almost vistorian sort of way.

We usually shop together for big ticket stuff.  Funny, in looking for
living room sets, we agreed on the same one without either of us liking
it or disliking it better than the other sets we saw.  Some sets were
definately more den or family room oriented; we wanted something more
"formal".  Now we just have to clear the living room of boxes, grab a
tape measure for a few check points and go get the set (hopefully
before Christmas).
