They get the shows later than we do by weeks or months. She was such a fan of the show that I ended up taping the second season for her this summer and shipping off the videos so she could watch them early! g BTW, I also love (and forgot to mention) Keeping Up Appearances and As Time Goes By. -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas my ISP is earthlink.net http://home.earthlink.net/~s-foster |

"Kathy Applebaum" wrote in message ... But since I was the best in math in the department (aka the biggest geek), I also got to do all the QDRO's. What fun -- knowing your work is going to be scrutinized by two attorneys who don't understand arithmetic, let alone higher math. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I am dealing with the DRO from hell. Will be thrilled when it's Q'd! Not only do Attorneys not understand math, they have no concept of "This is not correct, please try again!". I tell them their LA did it wrong and they say, "But _I_ did it!". Well then, you're STOOOPID! snort Cindy (DD is going to be a lawyer, mainly cause she was so lousy in math) |

My DH was in the service and we lived in Panama City, Vista Hermosa section, for 2 years in the 60's. I'm sure quite a lot has changed there since then. We made quite a few friends and still keep in touch with some even after all this time. -- Bonnie NJ |

While googling trying to learn more about our Mesue (wish I had a chance to get to know her), I came across a thread from 2000 in which RCTQ'ers introduced themselves in detail. I've come on board since then (September of '02), and I'm sure many others have too. Might be worth doing again for the sake of those who are a bit newer.
