Steve,
I think what the DR. meant was that I am too old to be getting MS now. Men get it in early 30's. I tried to tell him about being diagnosed with many things in those years....
But age is a point of view, cept when monster raises his head!
How are the girls? I could teach them to spit like my baby Em. she took to this course of action some time ago and seems to think it is funny!
But she spit on grandma the other day, and it was not so funny!
I keep the New Covenant,
when I fail....I am pulled
back into place by HIM.

Orch,
My friend I think you meant deer, not dear!!!!! You are correct I meant deer, although some may have been looking for a dear. I saw a report a week ago that said if you see deer then mountain lion's are not far away. That kind of scares me I often see deer in the canyon, and in the town of Alpine that I run in. I hope they are not hungry, runner's are easy prey.

OOPS.
One of mine little ones at about 4 wnet through a burping phase. Burped like a sailer. SIncwe Juliana was the wee-est of the three it always got a chuckle. Became peculiar when she would recite the alphabet by bleching out each letter sound. LUckily she outgrew that and has moved on to more ingenious mischievous things.
ENjoy baby Em. They are a dleight.

Orch,
You my friend, though very curteous and tenderhearted; are far to tuff for a little ole kitty! Just keep putting one foot in front of another an you will scare them off!
Remember how they put those whistles on cars years ago, to keep the deer away? Maybe they make a Cat detractor???
