Mornin' Cuzzies, Please forgive me for not being around as much as usual. I've been sobusy keeping up w/ mah steep learning curve of having to fend for mah sef.I would suggest if you don't know how to do any of these thingees, you getto crackin' 'cause it's all gonna settle around your neck sooner than later.The tech stuff: telephones, remote controls, showing movies off a disc,fax machines, air conditioning and heating settings.....nooooo, Ole Buckleywas da Captain around here, did all of that. I would help him w/ his puterfrom time to time as he cussed it! CPA's <ours had conveniently left the earth's plane prior to OB's departure>,stock markets, IRA's, annunities.....knew nothing abt. At least I could fill upw/ gas and had the oil changed on my car.....many widows couldn't even dothat. The metals market....knew a little abt. that. Have learned in the meantimeall salesmen are liars. Though I know swimming and horses, we aren't in that bidness. The only otherbidness I know anything abt is the oiyle bidness. Daddy was a geologist; OBwas a petroleum engineer. I tended to Momma's properties before her death,and OB would laugh at my phone conversations.....said I was an absolute gorilla!Right after OB bid adieu, our minerals got hotter than a pistol! Nothing could bemore exciting! That has taken a lot of time, lots of research, lots of conversations. So, the rookie cookie is just humming right along here, but very, very busy! In mah spare time I'm ripping out the kitchen where I'm gonna move to.....that'sanother no brainer because I know the drill, but it does take time and manydecisions. No, and the distance between Houston and San Antonio is no prob. So, know I looove you.....Ah just be really busy at the moment! Have a good one! Buckette
