 NB>>>> all the expansion has still been East Coast states... But the
 NB>>>> market might be appealing to them, all the same....
 RH>>> You never know, unless you're part of corporate headquarters. (G)
 NB>>> Exactly... :)
 RH>> Of which, neither of us are. (G)
 NB>> True enough...  ;)

 RH> Not yet, anyways.

Nor likely to be, actually...  :)

 NB>>> I think she merely slaked the thirst by getting stuff while she
 NB>>> was still in range and could... some things don't mail well... ;)
 RH>> Depends on what she got. (G)
 NB>> Or what she was craving.... :)

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

Pretty much...  :)

 RH>>> To a certain extent, yes.
 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... ;)

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

Did it go home full...?  ;)

 NB>>> Likewise, nor mine...  And neither of our bodies could deal with
 NB>>> the physical strains of the job....  I'd still be tempted were
 NB>>> it not for that...  :)
 RH>> OTOH, I've found other areas that fit my interests/abilities/etc
 RH>> much 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 sponge... whether medicalese, pharmaceutical info, or
 NB>> whatever.... When I go in for procedures, I'm usually asked if I'm
 NB>> a nurse, since I sound knowledgeable, and can rattle off my meds
 NB>> (and allergies) without a falter...  If I was physically up to it,
 NB>> it would indeed be something I might really consider, even at my
 NB>> age...  But, as I'm not up to the lifting or the standing etc.,
 NB>> it's not going to happen...  :)

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

Most likely, I'll just end up doing more of the same. if at all...  :)
