My new computer is so tempermental that it is doing some of the same things too....Loosing what I've just written.....I've decided if it is to be something more than a few paragraphs, I'll put it in a Temp Word Doc....and on email, I start it now, and finish writing with it in the Draft mode.... You're lucky....I don't know if we have any nonIndian casinos here...or if there are any, they are small, and probably smoke filled so I don't want to check any of them out....The tribe members are NOT letting the slots or anything else even have many Bonus rounds.....and all of them are paper driven....I find I don't go often anymore....just too many other places to put money.... Their Buffets are good here too.... Hope your daughters' knee replacement is successful and she does well....Hubby did so well, his Doc is simply amazed....He's a star patient with the Doc....Another friend went to see the same Doc this week, and she told him that Hubby is a good friend....He told her NOT to expect the same thing...it is VERY seldom that one feels little pain with these operations.... Lovey will have to watch out for Mr Libby...at 18 pounds he is 2 and a half times as much as CZ, our Papillon is....How does Pitty Pat get along with Mr Libby? We talked about 'such things' at our last Lunch Bunch gathering.....All of us want to be around as long as we can still be active....but we never have lots of choices about such things....We'll just try to live the best we're able every day, and to have some fun along the way! I'm sorry to hear about your friend though...I think I would hav made the same decision she did....after a while, it just is time. Know what you mean about expenses for the house....We've got some major things to do too, but the way things are now, we just have to put them off for awhile...We surely don't know what anyone is going to do about the economy.....We've inflated the money as much a they can without toppling everything over....It would certainly help, if we weren't actively trying to destroy all the industry around us, including the energy industries.... I know we're all SO glad to hear that soon you will have your ten year survival rate...Here's to that, and MANY more years for you as well~!! Didn't know anyone knew where or how to get ahold of Patti Bob....Hope she and her family are well...tell her we miss her LOTS! Are things cooler for you all down in Texas now? Sure do hope so....We've had about the coolest summer in years....quite dreary and makes Seattle live up to it's name of the Rainy City....Usually it's beautiful in the summer....and the fall...So maybe it will be the Fall that is outstanding this year! Keep in touch! Best, Karen
