Hey Ron,
Whats up? Seems there has been a change.
How do I register for bulletin board? Are there daily or weekly digests that are sent
or email notices that indicate new discussion?
I will tell the OT students here about the bulletin board if you send me the info.
David

Hello Joan:
Thanks for the Bulletin Board plug!!! :-)
Like you, I am also finding the board easier to use although I was less than
enthusiastic when it first started.
There are currently only 35 registered users of the board. While this is a
good start, it certainly doesn't represent much of a discussion 'community'.
I wonder why so few people have migrated to the bulletin board?
Ron

JR> supermarket). When he does basic shopping he tends not to read labels or
JR> pay attention to price differences so he's much faster than I am.
JR> 6) I generally put the food away although my husband will if I am
JR> not around.
JR> 7) We both prepare food, my husband from choice over the years and
JR> me from necessity for family meals. We both enjoy having guests in the

JR> when guests were obviously astounded that I could cook alone as my
JR> husband arrived home after they had arrived. Now it is more a shared
JR> responsibility as I frequently work on days when he is home.
JR> 8) Whoever didn't cook cleans up or we do it together.
JR> 9) We are both competent.
JR> 10) There is time now.

JR> several meals at once, leaving things we use daily out on the counter,
JR> setting the table from the dishwasher when unloading, using a trolley,
JR> organising the kitchen by function (tea, cups etc. near the kettle), a
JR> moveable chopping block counter with knives etc. in the drawer and
