Re: Van Allen Dies

Posted By Deb Harper
Many years ago Dr. Van Allen was giving a lecture on the belts. When asked, "but Professor, what are they FOR?" he replied, "I don't know about the rest of you, but I've been making a good living off them for years."

Beautiful dogs. Thank you for rescuing them. I'm sure they'll help you get your 10,000 steps every day and stay healthy for years.

Square Dancing?

Posted By Deb Harper
Our entire family contra dances and occasionally square dances. Or, as our sons referred to it when they were teens, "the stupid dances that we hate that our parents make us do". They've continued in the tradition at college. If for no other reason than you get to dance with a lot of cute girls.

And you haven't swung until you've danced with someone who really understands angular momentum.

huge stinging insects

If you're in a 4 season area it helps to put up wasp traps with the earliest sign of warming. Then the females looking for nests get taken out of business and your summer will be a lot better.

If you're one of those poor folks who live where it is always warm and cloudless, well, golly. Never mind.

Let's hear some chatter!

OK - the melting snow has exposed some of the travels and travails of the woodland creatures among us. Here Gabby has found a new souvenir shop. Not a Disney flick kind. . . shocked

Total Knee replacement, anyone have?

Posted By Deb Harper
My dad had a total knee in his 70's - he was able to get his golf score down below his age because of the new knee. It was a long process and a lot of physical therapy to heal but it has been worth it!

Another friend of mine (BIG guy, former semi-pro basketball player) did BOTH knees at once ("I'm such a chicken, I know if I have one done I'll never have the guts to do the other"). He also is doing very well.

Good luck and best wishes!
