    From NANCY BACKUS@1:123/140 to MICHAEL LOO on Sunday, February 10, 2019 22:42:00
    Quoting Michael Loo to Nancy Backus on 02-08-19 06:15 <=-

    She had never been in a wheelchair before.
    Precautionary measure, or needed to get around...?
    She couldn't take a step without apparently
    severe pain. Now she's back and sent an
    e-mail touting good news, but the good
    news was that she has been approved for
    all kinds of physical therapy.
    Ouch, but good on the PT.... hopefully that will be of value...
    We shall see. I'm going to be with her for
    her first appointments.

    Probably a good thing... :)

    I'm with Bonnie now, and that's another story;
    returning to Lilli's in a week.
    Is Bonnie doing ok...?
    More or less - her skin problem and her eye
    problem seem to have resolved; now there's
    just some roomatiz and the anxiety of seeing
    her friends and colleagues going down the tubes
    at an increasing rate.

    An increasing risk, the longer we live...

    I take it a trip here is being pushed further down the priority
    list....?
    It'll happen, but I have fairly pressing
    obligations of various sorts at the moment.
    There may be leftover bits of time for echo
    people this year, but concerns are concerns.
    Ok... I'm overdue on checking up on Fords.... will try to get to that sometime soon....
    Please do, speaking of aging.

    Exactly. Haven't yet... maybe later tonight...

    What's bad, though, is when it is rather obvious to most that it is a
    bad match... except to the person him or herself..... ;0
    I hate to say it, but that's what getting
    fired is for.
    And the counter to that is probably that that's what tenure's for.... I suppose one could pray for an early retirement to occur.... :)
    Bad match plus tenure equals a really
    bad match. I've seen those. They take it
    out on their students.

    Often.

    Actually, that's doubtful. Any decent knife can
    make quick work of ginger even at the extreme
    far end of edibility. In fact, woody is very
    easy to deal with because it offers reasonable
    resistance, helping control the size of the cuts.
    I'll take your word for that, not being that accomplished a knife wielder....
    Advice: get a good knife sharpener. I still
    like the Chef's Choice.

    And where would one get that...?

    ... You have to ask children and birds how cherries and strawberries taste
    Overstatement, I think. And anyhow, you have to ask
    very old people how strawberries should taste.
    Are there many left that would remember that....?
    I remember strawberries from 60 years ago
    and artEEsanal berries from more recently.
    Never having been a real bird or a real
    child, I can't speak from their points of
    view, but to me fruit are decidedly
    different from in my younger years.

    True... and not for the better...
