Hi Ruth,

->  RH> with. Truth is most women don't want to discuss preseason
->  football.

-> Don't think our guys were discussing that as most of them aren't into
-> football. We were talking about education systems and such like.

 RH> That sounds like more fun.  They just turned my old elementary school
 RH> into a
 RH> museum-connected magnet school.  Sounds like a good use for it.  My
 RH> old junior high is now a social services building, and these days it's
 RH> air- conditioned.

I went to a K-12 school, all in one building. For various times they had
off campus buildings but I was never in the "right" grade for one of
them. Closest I got was the portable classroom that was but a few steps
away from the main building. It's still a school, been remodeled several
times since I left. They redid the cafeteria in one of the redos but
probably couldn't do anything about the food. (G)

-> -> I wouldn't try that much but having worked one summer as a waitress,
 RH> I understood his balancing. Just wished I'd had my phone handy to
 get a picture.

->  RH> I've never done that either, probably just as well.

-> I don't do it to that extent these days but can still balance a fair
-> number of dishes if needs be. I still usually clear a table of foods
-> first, dirty dishes second and refer to little bowls as "monkey dishes"
-> from time to time.

 RH> I've never tried it, and these days it often wouldn't be a good idea.

It's not an easy job, don't see how some folks do it well up into their
old age. Those dishes can get heavy!


 RH> Clearing is easier since you can stack things.

A bit of a science to it if you don't want to make a big mess on the
bottoms of the dishes. I'll generally leave a fork or something so the
whole bottom surface of a plate won't come in contact with the top of a
dirty plate. Makes it easier on the dishwasher, manual or automatic, to
get the dish cleaner.

->  RH> You must get better ones than I do.  I've never had a macadamia
 RH> that was worth seconds.

-> Whole Foods is better than the run of the mill grocery store.

 RH> For a lot of things at least.

Steve added some onion & garlic powders to the macadamias, made them
much better but they're still not like the ones we had in HI.


-> -> basement but I guess decided not to. The stairs are rough finished

->  RH> I don't think mine would.  It's OK for now, but a decade down the
->  RH> road...not so much.

-> So figure out a better alternative so you won't have to stow so much in
-> the basement.

 RH> Tag sale?(LOL)

Don't totally write it off; it may be a viable option.

-> The back is doing well overall but he's got some plantar fascitis giving
-> him problems now. Makes it harder to get out for a walk. He's chief in

 RH> Amen to that.  I've been dealing with it off and on for 20 years.
 RH> Tell him to find a stair step and use it to stretch his feet out, or
 RH> maybe find
 RH> something on Youtube. I use the step because it's handy.

-> charge of the kitchen/house for a few more days; I was told to take it
-> easy (no lifiting over 5 lbs, no odd bending/stretching, etc) for 3-5
-> days so as not to stress the puncture site.  but, the heart is clear, no
-> signs of blockage.

 RH> Phew!  One thing down.

Yes, and a good report. I see the cardiologist tomorrow for the official
report/check.

Catch you later,
