Oh Beth, you are just so cool. I'm glad you understand about these things.
I love the people on this list. It's the greatest list I've ever been part
of as a matter of fact. I'm just so lucky lucky lucky to have found you!
I am completely jealous about the NASA open house. I love this type of thing
too Beth. What a tremendous opportunity! I'm glad you had the chance to
take advantage of it. When I was in the fire department, a Navy research
facility was in my first due area. When I would do inspections, I had the
chance to meet scientists and most of them were very nice to me. You know
how I am. I didn't just go in and do the inspections, I would meet the
people and chat with them as well. One scientist took the time to explain a
project he was working on and I ended up hanging out for about an hour after
the inspection so he could show me around and tell me about his work. I was
fascinated. It was a great experience for me and I'm grateful to have had it.
I wish I could have gone to that open house with you!
I also wish I could find something that would stop this blasted toothache. I
have a dentist appointment Monday but I am in so much pain now I don't know
how I'm going to make it until then! He prescribed percoset for me at the
last appointment, but it's not even touching this pain. I thought percoset
was supposed to be strong.
Even my little mental trick is not working.
Ugh! I will survive, but owwwwwe!
Good old whining Betty (BB)
