     Yeah I need to find a new bead shop so that I can get ahold of more materials   
   to finish the hemp necklaces that I have in progress.  It would probably be a   
   good idea to find out when that knitting class takes place at the library, too.   
   Maybe it's something that I can do while D is in school now that he's back   
   there for the session.

     Always a struggling point for me, but one that I am constantly trying to work   
   on.  Right now I think I need to try to get a little bit of a better hold on   
   the meditation that I've slipped up on.  I kind of let it drop by the wayside   
   while I was recovering from my injuries; it always fit in perfectly before or   
   at the end of my physical training, so I've dropped yet another coping   
   mechanism.  I've started getting with it again lately, but as with training the   
   body, the time off takes its toll.

     You are absolutely right on all fronts.   
      
    NB> In person might only be more annoying, you never know... ;)  Although,   
    NB> maybe, she might throw some clues by body language... which might or   
    NB> might not be any help... ;)  Mostly you probably just have to ignore her   
    NB> anyway... :)   
      
     Well body language usually at least gives me clues as to what people I'm   
   dealing with like to hear and what they don't like to hear.  I'd love to have   
   that advantage with her, but you may be very right as far as her not being very   
   reasonable in person.  I know the office IT job that I had always had a few   
   unpleasant people like that to deal with.  'Course there one of them was my   
   direct boss/former burglar.   
      
    NB> I KNOW that I have lots more messages to answer... one at a time...   
    NB> eventually maybe they'll all get answered...  :)   
      
     Yep.  I'm workin' on it, too.  :)  As always, more soon.  ;)
