Hi Hap,

->  hn> I lose track (grin)...next injection on May 28.

-> Wishful thinking.  It'll be here before you know it.

 hn> Yep time flies when you're occupied with "stuff"!


For sure on that one!  I finished my class on Thursday night.  Now I've
got to fit a dress bodice Monday and get it cut out before we leave on
Thursday. Get back from that on Sunday, have 8 days to sew up the dress
for a first fitting.  If all is OK, then another week to finish it off
before it gets delivered. Then a week to make some summer outfits for
Sarah before we take off again.  I'm not keeping busy, am I?

-> Good, every little bit helps.  Trouble is, sounds like you're regressing
-> on the knee at the same time her back is progressing.

 hn> Sometimes it feels that way and sometimes
 hn> I feel pretty good. Knee is going to be a problem
 hn> for a while yet I suppose. I'm not willing to give

Bummer, when you thought you had the answer last year.

 hn> up working at the ballpark even if I have to use
 hn> a cane to do it. I've cut back quite a bit on the

I know, but be glad it's only a cane, not crutches.  I came into class
Thursday night a bit later than I usually do; one young lady was
surprised to see me using a cane.  Usually I'm seated & it's stowed
before she gets there & she leaves before I do.  I told her I've had it
since August of 06. (G)

 hn> pain med they've prescribed (vicodin) as it gives
 hn> me bad dreams (worse than eating spicy food!) and
 hn> doesn't seem to do much for the knee. The pain may
 hn> be coming from the bone itself rather than the joint
 hn> and hopefully the bone scan will give us some info
 hn> that we can use to treat the problem...whatever
 hn> it is!

So when is the bone scan set for?  And no eating spicy foods the same
nights you use the vicodin. (G)

->  hn> Went there, and they had ground chicken on
->  hn> sale, so I bought that and made Thai
->  hn> Larb Gai instead.

-> That will work.  I don't have an Asian market in town; need to go to
-> Raleigh for that.  We went in on Monday for an appointment for Steve; I
-> hit up Whole Foods Market afterward.

 hn> Ours is BIG, I took Dale and Gail there, they
 hn> can give you an idea as to just how big it is.

Does it have a rice cake maker like the H Mart that Dale & Gail go to?
That thing is neat!  The store is the size of a good sized supermarket.

->  hn> the Mexican markets charge quite a bit and
->  hn> the Korean Market has begun to undercut
->  hn> them with the resulting influx of Mexican
->  hn> patrons.

-> That's quite different. Usually Mexican markets aren't that expensive to
-> start with.

 hn> I think the mexican markets got used to being
 hn> the only places where Mexicans shopped and
 hn> they slowly raised prices over time to the point
 hn> they were pretty much equal to the regular markets.

Sounds logical.  Got to have the competition, even if it's the regular
grocery store getting in a small selection of Mexican goods.


 hn> Since Pal Do World started to draw off their clientelle
 hn> they have started to drop prices again..but the
 hn> folks have found a lot of new food experiences
 hn> that they enjoy at the Korean markets. Now
 hn> the Korean market seems to keep an eye on the
 hn> latino markets and stays a little bit lower than
 hn> their prices. Seems to be working, every time
 hn> I go to the Korean Market, I see more and
 hn> more Latino's there!

Sign of a good thing.  Makes you wonder if some of the Koreans are now
learning Spanish to be able to help the Mexicans better.

->  hn> It's like a carnival all summer long! (or used to be)
->  hn> have a good time!

-> We will, once we get thru exams.

 hn> Study hard, play hard!!

I'm done; Steve is done with Evangelism & choir.  His Hebrew is a take
home; he's almost done with that.  Ethics is in class on Monday;
Evangelism is an on line, to be done no later than Tuesday night.
