==================================================================
Howdy Ruth!
-> 
-> ->  hn> difference in the taste however, I
-> ->  hn> hope you'll let us know if it does!
-> 
-> -> I will, but I won't get around to making the salsa until Tuesday.  This
-> -> week end is busy with class (half today, half tomorrow), church &
-> -> related on Sunday, usual Monday stuff plus baking bread & meeting with
-> -> Wake Forest Santa.  Tuesday I'll get it done, amidst studying for a
-> -> final & working on a short paper.  Final is on line, to be taken by
-> -> midnight, Friday & paper is due on the 24th.
-> 
->  hn> Ah the busy life!
-> 
-> Yes, never a dull moment.  Class was interesting (Church History,
-> basically from the 3rd century AD to present time) but rather fast
-> paced.  We worked a bit harder on Friday so we could finish earlier on
-> Saturday.  Concentrated on the Reformation Saturday morning, including
-> clips from a movie about Luther.  Tomorrow I get the study guide and
-> will continue research on Athenasius.
-> 
Most folks don't do any reforming until AFTER
Saturday night!! (grin).

-> -> That'll be worked out over the next few days.  Dave Drum sent me a
-> -> couple of recipies for chili powder; I'll look them over & then make one
-> -> based on one of those, but maybe tweak it here & there.
-> 
->  hn> Dave's got some good recipes for them!
-> 
-> Yes, and I've sampled some of one batch he made.  Definately better than
-> what's available thru national distributers. (G)
->
Well Dave does not have to market them
and still make a profit. 
-> 
-> ->  hn> Anne has the sense of adventure
-> ->  hn> just can't take the "heat"!
-> 
-> -> This friend and my parents both lack the sense of adventure. Her 
husband
-> -> likes some heat so we took them to a Korean hole in the wall place in
-> -> HI. She ordered kim chee (I didn't realise or would have warned her.);
-> -> they both ordered teriyaki steaks as they were on special.  First and
-> -> last trip they made to any Korean place while over there.  They like
-> -> American version of steak & potatoes, not Korean.
-> 
->  hn> Yum! Kimchee, and teriyaki!
-> 
-> I'll take a limited amount of teriyaki.  Too much of it, too often and
-> it'll turn me off for a while.  A bit evey now and then, especially if
-> it's not overly sweet, is good.  And make mine cucumber kim chee.
-> 
Too much, too often makes any dish 
off putting! 
 
-> ->  hn> one way or the other. She's secured
-> ->  hn> funding (two fellowships and a grant)
-> ->  hn> for another year if she needs it.
-> 
-> -> Good to have the funding and not need than to have need, but no 
funding.
-> 
->  hn> AMEN!
-> 
-> That's part of the reason we rented this place, small as it is. We can
-> afford to pay the rent in the months when the GI Bill doesn't give a
-> housing allowance.  We have the funding.
-> 
-> 
-> ->  hn> And I "think" she's already started
-> ->  hn> to put out feelers for post doctoral
-> ->  hn> positions. I know of two, one in
-> ->  hn> know if she's interested in either of
-> ->  hn> those..Panama is HOT!!
-> 
-> -> You're hoping she gets a position in Washington State, right, Dad?
-> 
->  hn> I dunno, it's nice to have her close, but
->  hn> it would also be nice to visit her in some
->  hn> "exotic" location! (grin)
-> 
-> But you don't want her too far away.  Do you use Skype to talk to her?
-> Deborah isn't into it but Rachel has really gotten into it with the kids
-> so we, and her grandparents, can video chat.
-> 
None of us are into skype, so no we
don't video chat, but we talk at least
once a week. We have the same cell
plans so we can talk all day without charge.

->  hn> First week is over and she survived pretty
->  hn> well overall. Back did "ok" for the most
->  hn> part and she's being careful to not
->  hn> stress it too much.
-> 
-> Good, if she can keep from stressing it now........But, the days of
-> carrying (short) stacks of books to distribute in class are done for
-> this school year.
->
Oh yes!
-> 
-> ->  hn> So far so good...she has a couple
-> ->  hn> of appointments this month, and
-> ->  hn> another "evaluation" by the
-> ->  hn> L&I doctor; this time a neurologist.
-> 
-> -> Hopefully all will go well.
-> 
->  hn> AMEN again!
-> 
-> Just don't let him tell her that the pain is all in her head. (G)
-> 
-> -> -> So you'll let us know the outcome of it.........
-> 
She had the appointment today, the 
neurologist will write a report for
the L&I company and for Anne's 
doctor.

-> ->  hn> HAh! " I'm unable to see what's
-> ->  hn> causing your pain at this point."
-> 
-> -> Sounds about like me & my foot.
-> 
->  hn> Second opinion appointment scheduled.
-> 
-> Hopefully 2nd opinion doctor will be able to give a better explanation
-> of why you're hurting.
-> 
-> ->  hn> The dead spot that was on one
-> ->  hn> bone (femur) has disappeared, and
-> 
-> -> Good.
-> 
->  hn> yes!
-> 
-> ->  hn> a "bone bruise" has appeared on
-> ->  hn> the tibia just below where the
-> ->  hn> dead spot was.
-> 
-> -> Not good.
-> 
->  hn> And not sure why it appeared.
-> 
-> You didn't bang the knee on something that you've forgotten what, have
-> you?  That's my problem--bruises appear and I've forgotten what that
-> part of the body hit, and when.
-> 
Nope anything strong enough to make
a bone bruise would be something that
you'd not be able to ignore or forget!
chat with you soon!
