Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> That's apparently what they are looking for... especially if
 NB>  NB>> there are enough sufficiently affluent people....

 RH> In Cary, yes, there are more affluent people. WF is less so, but
 RH> enough to probably support a store, just in numbers of shoppers.

 NB> Not sure what they particularly look for in the demographics... I'm
 NB> sure it isn't just numbers of shoppers, though...  :)

A little bit of this, a little bit of that................

 NB> all  NB>>> the expansion has still been East Coast states... But the
 NB> market  NB>>> might be appealing to them, all the same....
 NB>  RH>> You never know, unless you're part of corporate headquarters.
 NB> (G)  NB>> Exactly... :)

 RH> Of which, neither of us are. (G)

 NB> True enough...  ;)

Not yet, anyways.

 NB>  NB>>> I think she was already putting together a box of things to
 NB> mail  NB>>> to herself...
 NB>  RH>> Smart thinking.
 NB>  NB>> But I don't think it included any goodies from Wegmans.... I
 NB> think  NB>> she merely slaked the thirst by getting stuff while she
 NB> was still  NB>> in range and could... some things don't mail well..
 NB> ;)

 RH> Depends on what she got. (G)

 NB> Or what she was craving.... :)

And couldn't get at home...............

 NB>  RH>>> family) out west on a different (budget) airline and got nickel
 NB>  RH>>> & dimed to death on charges/surcharges for everything,
 NB> including  RH>>> a seat that reclined.
 NB>  NB>> Kinda adds up to be more expensive... one doesn't always think
 NB> of  NB>> adding in all those extras to the seemingly bottom line...

 RH> They are not going to fly that airline again, nor use the car rental
 RH> agency they went with (on a relative's advice).

 NB> Can't say as I blame them one whit...  :)

Nope!

 NB>  RH>> To a certain extent, yes.
 NB>  NB>> Still can't go totally overboard... ;)

 RH> No, we can only tow a certain weight so we have to keep that in mind.

 NB> And even light stuff, one can only fit just so much in... ;)

Yes, we brought an empty cooler................

 NB>  NB>> LIkewise, nor mine...  And neither of our bodies could deal with
 NB> the  NB>> physical strains of the job....  I'd still be tempted were
 NB> it not for  NB>> that...  :)

 RH> OTOH, I've found other areas that fit my interests/abilities/etc much
 RH> more so than something like nursing.

 NB> As I've been caring for various people and managing their medical
 NB> care, I've been rather surprised how I've taken to medical things,
 NB> like a
 NB> sponge... whether medicalese, pharmaceutical info, or whatever....
 NB> When I go in for procedures, I'm usually asked if I'm a nurse, since I
 NB> sound knowledgeable, and can rattle off my meds (and allergies)
 NB> without a
 NB> falter...  If I was physically up to it, it would indeed be something
 NB> I might really consider, even at my age...  But, as I'm not up to the
 NB> lifting or the standing etc, it's not going to happen...  :)

So look into what you can do with your experience, education, etc. You
might have a good part of the training done already, just in OJT.
