Hi Hap,

Running behind again on my Fido; had a final exam last Thursday night.
My in laws came in earlier that day & we took off for PA the next
morning.  Saturday was a memorial service for a close family friend so
we got to see folks we'd not seen in years.  Got back here last night
with usual Monday stuff for me to do & an exam for Steve. This afternoon
I got stuff to do a bunch of cooking for my folks to take when we go up
later this week.  Never dull around here.

->  hn> the workman's comp caseworker. Now we are
->  hn> scheduled to see "their" neurosurgeon this weekend
->  hn> so he can "determine" if it's an on the job injury.

-> And being poked & prodded at every visit.  No fun, I'm sure but you've
-> got to satisfy the bean counters.

 hn> Yep, she was sore for three days after the
 hn> "evaluation", she did more than was wise
 hn> for her condition.

She did or the doctors made her do?

->  hn> job injury we would not have to wait, we could
->  hn> DO things as soon as they were recommended.

-> Do you have a punching bag at home? Sounds like like you can use one to
-> get rid of some of the frustration over the situation. It's hard to wait

 hn> I doubt this will rise to that level. And I'm
 hn> hopeful that she'll be back to 100% after
 hn> we finally get a plan of actual treatment
 hn> established.

It's getting that plan of action up and running that seems to be the big
road block now.

->  hn> Anne's mom has lots of relatives still there
->  hn> I don't think she'll ever move away, as long
->  hn> as she can afford to stay there.

-> We've got a good amount of family up there too--all of Steve's siblings;

 hn> No problems for her, other than she had
 hn> to have an appointment with the surgeon
 hn> posponed by a week. We're still waiting on
 hn> a date for her surgery.

Sounds like your 3 ring circus is as busy as ours. (G)

->  hn> We have our 37th coming up this month.

-> See, we're not too far behind you.

 hn> I'll be 61 next week!

I'm not there yet, got several more years before I hit that point.  How
are you celebrating?

-> We brought a couple of cans of coconut milk with us with our last move,
-> used it this week end to make haupia.  Our church has small groups that

 hn> Ahhh haupia! Did you serve it over cake? I

No, just as is.  Mochi was the other dessert item, a custard type.  One
of the guys said he didn't care for custards but really enjoyed the
mochi.

 hn> use coconut milk quite a bit in stir frys and
 hn> such, add a bit of lime juice to it and it really
 hn> perks up a simple dish! I'll often add some
 hn> curry to it as well.

We don't use it that much; coconut is on my "avoid if at all possible"
list.

->  hn> Smiles and thank you's are priceless!

-> Also hugs and invitations to join the older men's class. (G)

 hn> Cute girls always get an invite to
 hn> the older men's class!

To some of them, I probably was not much more than a girl.  Bunch of
great guys in the class; some areno longer in it tho, being promoted to
bigger and better.

-> ->  hn> She has since passed away and I often
-> ->  hn> wonder what is happening to that big
-> ->  hn> log cabin home she had.

-> Try contacting a relative or doing some internet exploration.

 hn> Probably next time we are over there
 hn> I'll ask around, last time we were there
 hn> was when we found out she'd passed away
 hn> only about 8 months earlier. She was one of
 hn> those folks who had boundless energy.

Sounds like my Tante Hanna over in Germany before she passed away.
