Thank you, Caro, though I have difficulty agreeing with you. There's a bit of tarnish on my halo. Jack79/IPF - UIP/dx06/05 Maine

Yesterday I received the oximeter I ordered for a local lady. Before taking it to her, I opened it up and assembled it, then tested it. To my great surprise my resting SAT was 7. My meter had registered only 5

for the past year, which has concerned me because it had always been 7 or 8. I think it possible that my batteries are weak and need replacing, which I will do. The new oximeter was smaller with different design and

completely yellow, although I had ordered the conventional one.

Anyway, the lady was delighted to get her oximeter and I am still working to get her $100,000 a year Tracleer for free. Jack79/IPF - UIP/dx06/05 Maine

I keep a drawer full of batteries-AA and AAA and whatever size it is the

nine smoke alarms in this house take. I got probably 100 or more

batteries on some super Radio Shack sale. I also keep a cabinet full of

light bulbs. These are just things we use all the time and so

frustrating to need one and not have it.

Oh he does enjoy them. I can't get out in the yard or shed anymore but I hear him over there playing with his four wheeler andother toys. He is getting ready for hunting season. I can't believe how many seasons there are. archery, black powder, gun, special hunts.. what ever that means.. so he has all the bang um up toys to kill stuff with.. I am going to do my best to be on my own so he can enjoy.. We'll seehow it goes. Love and Prayers, Peggy IPF 2004, FloridaWorry looks around, Sorry looks back, Faith looks up.
