I had to laugh about the " world crime capital " comment! When we

first moved up here I thought it was this quiet, sheltered, country-

like setting....having moved from the big city of GR. Well, within

the past year we have had 2 dead (murdered) bodies dumped within

miles of our home. The latest one last month was only about 3 miles

from here. Then I find out that there are like major meth labs all

around here, like just around the corner! YIKES!!! I would love to

move again, but alas, crime is inevitable anywhere you go nowadays.

Hey, even Wisteria Lane (Desperate Housewives) has its share of

problems! LOL

I called the 800 number for CSHS today. The dull receptionist gave

me a fax number to which I am supposed to fax some info from the

immuno. She didn't sound too hopeful that we would qualify. Oh

well, it is worth a shot!
