assistant: Hi Suzanne,
Does that mean that most of the *hot-air* is in Denton too?? Grins!
We are just beginning a nice, warm Chinook and the temp today, got up to
plus 10 (50 above in your antique terms) and to do the same tomorrow so
much of the snow ( and please pardon the four-letter word) will be turning
into water.
I just hope that your efforts have good results.
I have been correcting some of your goofs as you may notice!
After all, He forgives and corrects all of my mistakes you know!
ate!
So, now, I suppose you think I should be calling you "Sweet Sue" ?
After all of that sweetening, I am not so sure!

Not necessarily because often genuine love and affection is shown in
discipline too.
The child who is never corrected will wonder if the *parent* really cares
enough but a cat can tell  where to draw the line if shown how far he can
go and it is necessary to establish a few rules.
I am having some problems yet and am not sure, but I think I have a partial
reason for some of my being so unsteady at times.
I have just a wee bit more sight than I had before and at times I think
this is confusing to the brain and it has not yet adjusted to the new
amount of sight and secondly, when I get tired,  my being unsteady is much
worse, so sleep is a factor too.
(Or lack of it)
I have seen two of them just over a week ago and neither of them could give
me any real help.
I think it is a matter of not over-extendeing myself and keeping my bg (
blood-glucose) levels under good control.
How do you like your new home now?
Have you found everything yet?
Want me to come down there and *find* things for you? Grins!
Blessings,
Wally.
