Hey Ruth!
-> 
-> ->  HN> So sad to hear that. Never a good
-> ->  HN> trip to have to make.
-> 
-> -> No, never. Best part about it is that we saw all of Steve's siblings 
and
-> -> his parents plus some family friends. I got to meet the other brother
-> -> (of a pair) that Steve & his brothers, especially the older two, 
played
-> -> with (and got into mischief with) when they were younger. I'd met the
-> -> one a few years ago, he's now a first grade teacher.
-> 
->  HN> Even the saddest of occasions often have a
->  HN> "good" side.
-> 
-> Very true, another good thing was that we missed the storm that hit this
-> past week end. NY is supposed to have some more miserable weather but
-> hopefully be sunny by the end of the week.
-> 
Luck was with you on that one!!

-> ->  HN> and we went through 6 gallons
-> ->  HN> of distilled water for nasal
-> ->  HN> rinses!
-> 
-> -> That's just short of a gallon a day--sounds like you were rinsing
with 
a
-> -> hose. (G)
-> 
->  HN> Sometimes it seemed like she was!!
-> 
-> Steve was doing a good bit of rinsing the past few days but I think he's
-> managed to knock out whatever was blocking up.
->
Anne is clear of the infection but there 
is still plenty of drainage going on and 
her Dr says it may continue for a couple 
of weeks, so Anne is still rinsing several
times a day.
 
->  HN> My dental issues go pretty deep and
->  HN> were very severe. My dentist specializes
->  HN> in pepole like me and he's VERY good...
->  HN> but it's still (and always will be) a
->  HN> big issue for me. They do what they
->  HN> can, like having a chair ready for me
->  HN> so I don't have to wait in the
->  HN> waiting room, and having nitrous gas
->  HN> ready immediately for me.
-> 
-> Nice to have a dentist that's so understanding. I saw in a post to Nancy
-> that he's a dental trauma specialist--sounds like just what you need.
->
I've been going to him for about 30 years.
 
-> ->  HN> Still busy...still no job..she's
-> ->  HN> putting out a lot of resumes, and
-> ->  HN> making some phone and video interviews
-> ->  HN> but nothing back yet (that I've heard
-> ->  HN> of at least).
-> 
-> -> Steve is working on his resume and looking at job listings. A lot of
-> -> them want so many years of pastoral exerience that he doesn't have. 
I'd
-> -> think some places might take military leadership time in lieu of
-> -> pastoral leadership tho.
-> 
->  HN> Sort of contradictory language skills there
->  HN> (grin).
-> 
-> Both involve leadership but have differing objectives.
-> 
quite different. 

-> -> Thanks, the "fun" part now is trying to get the morning reading to be
-> -> around 100 (per doctor's suggestion). It's usually in the mid 70s to 
mid
-> -> 80s.
-> 
->  HN>  The normal fasting blood sugar for women is said to be around 83
->  HN> mg/dl or less, and the same for men is said to be around 90-130 
mg/dl.
->  HN> However,
->  HN> normal fasting blood sugar for children is slightly on the higher 
side
->  HN> and is said to be around 100 mg/dl. It is important to know the 
normal
->  HN> levels of
->  HN> fasting blood sugar in children, so as to keep an eye out for the
->  HN> presence of juvenile diabetes. It is reported that many adults that
->  HN> have normal
->  HN> blood
->  HN> sugar levels show reading of fasting blood sugar at around 70
mg/dl.
->  HN> Most doctors claim that fasting blood sugar levels under 100 mg/dl 
is
->  HN> said to be normal. Research is said to point the fact that fasting
->  HN> blood glucose
->  HN> levels
->  HN> of anything around 90 mg/dl in an adult is a predictor of diabetes 
in
->  HN> old age.
-> 
->  HN> Read more at Buzzle:
->  HN> http://www.buzzle.com/articles/normal-fasting-blood- sugar-
levels.html
-> 
-> Interesting, sounds like I'm actually on the normal side of the numbers
-> then. I can't recall having any fasting blood work done as a child; I
-> guess it's not normal to do so unless diabetes is suspected.
->
I think that's the way it's done. 
When I suspected that I was 
"going over the line" I had to
insist on getting the A1C done
for reference purposes.
 
-> ->  HN> Church rummage sale !!
-> 
-> -> Sharing Shop at the seminary. Bring stuff in, take stuff home for 
free.
-> -> Steve also works on the donated computers, wiping drives, adding 
memory,
-> -> cleaning innards, etc. He brought home the salad crafter attachment
to
-> -> the KA mixer the other day--and found out who donated it (a friend 
from
-> -> church). Haven't tried it yet but maybe will when we get back from
the
-> -> next trip.
-> 
->  HN> Even BETTER than a church rummage sale!!
-> 
-> Very much so; we're rounding up another load of things to bring in. The
-> school also has a Manna Ministry in the same building, same hours. Very
-> often there are several different types of breads, bagels, English
-> muffins, sandwich rounds, doughnuts, cake or cupcakes and doughnuts
-> available for taking as well. It was a big help for the time after I had
-> my wrist surgery and not able to do the bread making I usually do.
->
and you can have some confidence
that the bread is not chock full
of "stuff" that the commercial 
varieties have.
chat with you soon!
