Hi Hap,

-> I do keep an eye on the carbs--as they go on to the fork and up to the
-> mouth. (G) Seriously, I should cut back some on them but they're genuine
-> whole grain ones (not like some breakfast cereals advertise) and really
-> good for you. But, I do need to push more fruits & vegetables.

 HN> we went out to dinner with some
 HN> friends last night. Thai food,
 HN> which I love! I had Larb Gai as
 HN> hot as they make it...which really
 HN> was not that hot but it was good!!
 HN> We even had dessert sticky rice and
 HN> I had a nice serving of it..and my
 HN> number this morning was 149..the lowest
 HN> reading of the week...and the most carbs!

My mom had her lowest reading in some weeks after having rice the night
before instead of her usual mashed potatoes. Rice must be good for you.
(G) I'd rather have brown than white but it's hard to get that at a lot
of restaurants; a lot of small eateries will offer it tho.

 HN> Dunno!
 HN> Gonna try to work in more exercise..not
 HN> snow shoveling though!!

No snow for us to shovel so far this year.

-> I would too, given the choice. Never had kidney stones tho, so never had
-> the option.

 HN> Hope you NEVER have to make the
 HN> decision!

Agreed!

->  HN> Me? I tend to do my best to stay OUT of
->  HN> Florida!
 HN> ->
-> We'd probably be active in some things, but not a whole lot. I think
-> newcomers join a lot, then drop as they see how much time is needed for
-> them. After all, you need some time for things like sleeping, going to
-> the doctor, etc. As for living in Florida full (or even part) time, I'm
-> not sold on it. Love bugs in the spring and fall--big time yuck! Hot and
-> extremely humid weather in the summer--another yuck! I'll go there to
-> visit my in laws and friends tho. Met one couple this past trip who live
-> there only in the winter; the rest of the year they live in PA, same
-> county (Snyder) as our friends I've mentioned. Steve did some computer
-> trouble shooting for him; she's a pink survivor also.

 HN> there are times when I think I'd
 HN> like to be a "snowbird" and have
 HN> a place in AZ or even Sanddy Eggo.
 HN> (as if I could afford either one!)
 HN> But to be honest, most of the time
 HN> I like it right here!

I'd rather have a less humid place but this is home for now.

->  HN> You mean you don't have a pulmonologist
->  HN> now?

-> I do, over in Chapel Hill. Had one in GA too but the one I had in HI was
-> hard to beat. Military, stationed at Tripler, before we came and was
-> still there when we left.

 HN> Then get the Chapel Hill pulmonologist to convince Steve!
 HN> As for the one at Tripler...can you blame him for wanting
 HN> to stay there??

Nope! We had a rough introduction but got along well after that. I think
he liked my sense of humor. (G) He also said I was like a ray of
sunshine whenever I'd come in for an appointment.


->  HN> while, brown or red...and Anne favors
->  HN> the red.

-> I don't think I've had it by itself but have had it in the Lundberg
-> blends. Guess I ought to hunt some up (down?) and give it a try; I
-> suspect Whole Foods Market would be a good place to look for it.

 HN> We get it in bulk at the store
 HN> a wee bit more expensive but Anne's
 HN> worth it!

As I try to cater to Steve's tastes and he to mine.
