Big Business

Joyce: I remember when there was a big stink around HMOs and Primary Care Practitioners because salary (perhaps bonuses, too) was linked more to restrictive and reduced medical care than to what was needed for the patient. Physicians began complaining that they couldn't do their job. I thought this practice was banned. I hope can find out more about it.

: Congrats to your hubby. How did he lose the weight? I still have a few 'skinny' clothes around in high hopes! I'm going to try that chromium Picolinate.

Sher: Perhaps we could begin an IPF/PF worldwide internet walking club? Check in and all that kind of stuff. I go to bed each night with good intentions. And then after I have my morning pot of tea, breakfast, clean up and get ready to go out the door, it's too hot, cold, wet, too tired, etc. I think my big problem, 'tho, is that I belong to the FPP (Frequent Pee-er Program) which wasn't a problem when I could walk in the mountains where there were plenty of trees (and no poison oak), but now there's not a place around me where I could make a mad dash behind a tree or a rock or something!

Peggy: I saw that Deal or No Deal program -- I thought I heard she was 2 years post transplant? Maybe I heard wrong, 'tho. I keep telling store clerks, waitresses, etc., that I have 'old ears.' Doesn't always work, 'tho!

How are gas prices for all of you? Out and up here, it's $3.50 per gallon.
