Hi Elizabeth and thanks for the uplift. My dryer just decided to hit the dust 
probably just old age like me. Hehe. Wonderful day with beautiful weather.  
When I would tell my doctor I was old he would say he didn't want to hear about 
age. He is in his 70s and still going strong.  Well he is retiring and I wish 
him all the best.  He is Dr Balducci head of the senior department of Moffitt 
Cancer center. What is neat is that his wife is head of senior department of 
the veterans department of the veterans hospital that is located right up the 
street from Moffitt.  My right hand is still hurting and always wonder what is 
next. 


How many here have the tradition of black eyed peas and ham hock?  Don't know 
why. My sister had 4 wheelers and I got talked into taking a ride. I was scared 
to death.  They had 5 acres of woods and away we went. Fun ride but scary none 
the less. 

Marty, what do you do for pain?  Remember Milly?  She used a lot of heat and 
cold with opiates. I think that was before they cracked down on opiates.   

Happy New Year everyone!
