Re: A lesson in human relations...

[Guest guest]

Hi lel,

Well said!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I always found Dr. R's office to be nice and

accommodating. But, when all is said and done, we have to remember they are

a business like many others. I also don't believe in " brown nosin' " , but

you should request and ask nicely when people are in a position to do

something for you.

Now, how are you doing girl? I am feeling better with each day. The

next 2 days will tell the tell. I have a fieldtrip tomorrow to a reservoir

and one on Wed. to burg. Some days are better than others. See ya!
