Re: Re: Newbie and my introduction

Hi Pam,

I empathize with the waiting for pretty weather - a few more weeks. I just want the cold to go away!

I grew up a mile from the stadium, so I'm a HUGE pats fan! When I was in the foxboro school system I had alot of the kids from the patriots in school with me - Steve Grogans kids (they're younger by a few years though), and Tim Fox's kids (bunch of snobs heehee).

I saw doctors at mass general for a few years - they're really great there. I work at RI Hospital now, so I see people there - and they're also very good.

Best of luck to you,

Hello Again Pam:

You definately have made me chuckle. I love it. I am not too far from that. If you go to the zapper groups site in the members section there are photos of some of us. Check it out. I think you will fit in just fine. Keep those sweet postings up. Thanks. TURK

You're too modest by far. Pam, he's a darkly handsome teddy bear.

BTW, welcome to all the new folks. This is a great list. Even tho it's

been 3 yrs. now since my husband Rich got his zapper, I've stayed here

just for the chatter and friendship. It's funny how cyber folks can

become family after a while.
