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)
