And California seems to be taking steps, I mean, you, you read about the, the fairly , fairly stiff laws they put in on cars now they're, they're enforcing. The smog and, yeah. Uh-huh, yeah. But, uh, again, uh, that didn't occur without a crisis. Nothing will occur, I guess, without a crisis. I mean, even California wa...
well, I, I, definitely advance that. Well, listen I enjoyed speaking with you. Surely. And let's hope some, there are other people that feel the same way something happen. Right on, thank you. You're welcome. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Uh, national health insurance, I think, is a problem inasmuch as the quality of health care t...
I think that, uh, too many, uh, the problem with, with right now is that we've got too many different health insurances that people have to go through and, and I think that, I think you, you mentioned Canada. I think that they have a system where, uh, they, the government deals with the, with, I mean, you, you go to wh...
So I assume that probably the total cost is probably, three fifty to four hundred. They're probably picking up about half of it. Right. And that's a pretty good policy, but if you had something like one of these, uh, health maintenance programs, H M O, uh, where the, uh, where you go to the doctor and it only costs you...
so, we went to the, to the, the medical insurance that we have at, here at work, Yeah. and, uh, I, uh, I like the, I like the convenience of the H M O in, in a certain respect because it, uh, even though you're, once you find the doctor that you like it's not a problem. You know, a lot of people complain saying well, I...
they're trying to prevent a problem by, by keeping the cost down at the front end, you know, and have you come in, you know, Yeah. they, they charge five dollars a you know, pop, Yeah. you're more willing to go in and try, to take care of a problem before it grows big. As to a company's benefit, to have a program like ...
Uh, you take a hospital, uh, the physical plant itself, you have to pay your share of the operating of that eight story building, uh, when the rooms are empty. Right. So, they spread the costs out over, uh, all the patient costs and, uh, that's how you come up with aspirin that costs four dollars apiece and things like...
And like she went in, she had the baby and she was out in two days time. Right. And it was treated almost like it was an outpatient visit to the hospital, Right. the, the deductibles didn't apply. Right. And so that's one way, one way the insurance companies are trying to hold costs down is by, uh, okay, if you'll shor...
Yeah. that's on my list to see. Yeah, it was, it was okay. It was not, um, not a wonderful film but it was, I mean it was, it was cute but not the biggest laugh I've seen. Oh, okay. I saw THELMA AND LOUISE. A couple of days ago, and really liked that. Oh, did you? Actually I saw it twice because I liked it so much. Oh....
Right. But it's with women in it instead of men so that's kind of a that's kind of a twist on the normal thing. A switcheroo, huh? And it made me think a lot about, you know, you would applaud Bruce Willis in DIE HARD if he was doing this but you might not be so you know, so encouraging, of Susan Sarandon and then Gena...
um, yeah. They had started out with that, then they got into lots of trouble. Before we found the shopping malls that's what we did. Uh-huh. Yeah, well, I'll have to put that, I'll have to keep that on my list then. Yeah. I also saw that Madonna movie. Oh. It's TRUTH OR DARE and that was pretty scandalous. Scandalous? ...
well, I think she kept saying that, uh, they talked about her, it, it was a film of her concert, um, tour she had taken through all, all around the world. And they were all to her at the Vatican city and wouldn't let her perform in Rome, and she, kept saying that her show was not garbage. Huh. It had a social message t...
and she's rich and she, yeah, so. she's smart at what she does. She knows how to do that. She knows how to twist this around, huh? Yeah. What did you think about DANCES WITH WOLVES when you saw it? Well, okay, see, we're getting back to last year. That's probably the last movie I saw. Um, DANCES WITH WOLVES, I just ado...
I mean it was a real consciousness raiser, I guess. Um, and I only bring up WOUNDED KNEE because that was what ten years ago you read and, and understood, you know, about the American pop, Indian population, Right. and then everything went away for a couple years, Uh-huh. and now it's back again. And, you know, it's so...
Nobody can get along peacefully Yeah, but I wonder I thought because they made a big deal about how this, this film was such a big leap for the, the people who, who were the ancestors of the, this Indian tribe and that, you know, that was so wonderful that they done that and they, uh, uh, I wonder how the ancestors of ...
meaning to me I think about, you know, just the meaning of, um, the freedom of this country and, and what that really meant. Right. And that was taking over somebody else's freedoms. And sort of trampling that Uh-huh. and, uh, so you know it, it meant something bigger I think. But still it was a I loved the buffalo sce...
But it put me in a really, it put me in a really bad mood, I don't know why. Did it really? Yeah, we there were three of us who went. We were just all really grouchy when it was over. Huh. So we decided that may be the mark of a good film. It made us think. And so, It made you think. we were grouchy. We felt guilty for...
but we still felt the thick blame for, what had gone on. Really, that's true. We could have, But it, it's, they sort of candy coated the western story for many years, Right. and, um, you know, when the truth, oh, well, it always balances out one way or the other once you get the whole story Uh-huh. but, Yeah. Well, I d...
Um, I rented a good movie, um, called CINEMA PARADESO which is an Italian movie which is probably the best movie I've seen ever. Oh. Oh. It was just, wonderful. Really? It's, uh, story about a little boy in a Italian, a little Italian village, and he, um, owns a, um, or he works in a, a movie theater and it it helps th...
That was a, a great one. Wow. And other than that I, I'll have to write that, have you, have, did you see TEXASVILLE? Are you into, Larry McMurtry? No, I I hadn't. I had read, um, THE LAST PICTURE SHOW and but that's out on video now and I haven't seen it. But I was interested in reading TEXASVILLE before I saw the mov...
Okay, uh. Do you have annual family reunions or, Uh, yeah, uh, our, the my mother's side of the family is quite large, or well, was quite large at one time, and, uh, they, uh, for as long as I can remember, have had, uh, a yearly reunion, um, back, uh, early on they used to, to rotate them from from to, to different pe...
Uh, that's where the family grew. Just from city to city then . Yeah, and it was not only in Mississippi, in some other places, as well, Uh-huh, uh-huh. so. It was, uh, it was a big deal, but, uh, they tried to, to centralize it in one spot. So, in the past couple of years they had it at a state park every year. Uh-huh...
Is it choice or just business or, Not getting to go. Uh-huh. Uh, just, uh, the distance involved and, Uh-huh, uh-huh. uh, just not, I have a younger daughter now and, uh, I, it's kind of hard to get her, get her there, and everything. Uh-huh. But I am going to, to, uh, hopefully next year get to go back, cause, uh, a l...
uh-huh. And, is your mother still living? Yes. Oh, so, so you go back and visit with her anyway. Would you not? Right, yeah. I mean, either way there was family reunion time, or not, Right, I, I usually see her a, couple times a year so that's no, no big thing. But, uh, I, uh, I do, I do enjoy the reunions. The only pr...
and at time, you know, they all knew one another. Right, right. And now it has gotten, uh, that, uh, a lot of those people are have, uh, have died off, or, you know, what we are left with is the, the relatives of, of, of that group. The next generation, uh-huh. And so, uh, it's not quite as close as it used to be. So, ...
right. Right. And as, as time grew, I mean when time went on the family grew and moved away and so forth. And now when they come together it's, it's generally, you know, like say the kids of those people who are not, you know, anywhere near one another and I do not think they feel the, the closeness that they used to b...
Uh-huh. It's more of a, you know, a smaller, smaller unit, and you know, we, we tend to try to do things, I think with our immediate family, as opposed to the extended family. Of people that we may or may not remember or know, you know, very well. Right, right. Uh It really makes an effort on, to, do this anymore. Righ...
Do you correspond with anybody other than your mother and brother that's in that group? On a regular basis, not just Christmas cards. Uh, Um, um, no, not really. in that, but, then again, uh, well, I, you know, I have some aunts that, uh, I, I, I do. That's about my mother's sisters, you know, Uh-huh, uh-huh. but I fee...
They had chosen Santa Barbara, California for this summer and, and did not get enough people that were willing to go that far, because most of us live either in the midwest, or like in the Texas, Oklahoma area. Uh-huh. And, uh, so they cancelled that one and, uh, are looking next year bringing it back closer, but we ha...
my husband's sisters started it and sent it to us and that's as far as it got. I sent it, on to the next one, Yeah. and, and, but we are going in a couple of weeks to the next one, in Scottsdale, Arizona, for that family. Uh-huh. We are real glad we got together because since that, that time there were only like two of...
I don't work, at home right now. I stay home with my children. Uh, but my husband works and they do have that at his place of employment and neither of us have a problem with it. We've, particularly, like you said with the things that the airlines and, and such. It's, uh, it's a scary thing to know that, uh, you just d...
it's very near and dear to me when we start talking about drug testing for random sampling and testing for cause, this type of thing. And even in our field we have people that are in very high risk jobs and we, at the present time, do not have random testing. Um. And I am pushing towards that. I, I honestly feel if peo...
Well, it's, it's unfortunate, I think, that everyone doesn't have that opinion. Uh, some people just, uh, I've heard some people just talking in our group of friends that they just feel it's an invasion of privacy and things like that, but, uh, in the long run, it seems to me, it's kind of like what they keep talking a...
Uh-huh. That is, because, well, and I worked for a dentist and that's, uh, you know, you, you come in contact with a lot of, of blood and things like that and it's real, real dangerous. Uh-huh. I, I would think, but, with all the accidents, just with, with, uh, everything happening with, just airlines just drive me cra...
but, uh, my brother-in-law happens to work there and it, it sounded very positive. And I, I think it's great. I, I would like, I would encourage it. I'm pushing our company towards that. . Well, and, you know, if they do find someone who, who is, uh, having a problem with drugs and they can get them the help that they ...
and it's, it's, it's unbelievable what, what, what's going on and the drugs, the selling of drugs. It's just, it's just too loose. It's too free. Uh-huh. I just got a piece of paper the other day, uh, that now they have these, I have two little, very little children, under two Uh-huh. and I got a piece of paper from, f...
Oh, what kind do you have? Oh, roaches and, Do they really? Oh, yes. Cockroaches are awful here. Oh. Just awful. So I, Oh, and I know somebody that lives there, and they never mentioned that problem Oh, you're kidding, you're kidding. No, it's a well, maybe they didn't mention it because it's just kind of a fact of lif...
They make good fertilizer in the garden. Oh, yuck Me, personally can't, I don't have that problem, uh, it's, mine is mainly we kind of have an understanding that, uh, I, I said I'll do inside work you do outside work. Uh-huh. And so I get into the gardening part of it, the fun part, like putting in the annuals and thin...
so, um, we've been fighting a drought here this summer and getting into fall. Huh. Today we just had a lot of rain Oh, really? Yeah, so it's kind of nice. I don't know how yours has been. Well, it's been real hot here lately. I mean we've had to actually have the air-conditioning on and everything but, uh, it's suppose...
But, um, as far as the gardening and things like that goes I don't know, uh, too much, too much about, uh, how much I really do enjoy it myself. Yeah. Do you like it at all? I, well, not here. I mean it's just, here I just can't stand to even get out in the, uh, in the dirt Just, Well, how about when you were in Colora...
Uh-huh. I guess we've kind of covered our subject matter, since neither one is really into gardening, are we? Sounds like No, no. Afraid not. Uh, hopefully they'll give a subject I like one of these times Something I really know a lot about. Right. Okay. Right. nice talking to you. Nice talking with you. Okay, bye-bye....
It's a two bedroom, two baths duplex. Oh, well that's neat, Brick and, uh, Uh-huh is it one you're renting or buying? No, we own it, yeah, well, our side Yeah, yeah, well that's kind of neat that you can even though it's a duplex, you can still buy. Uh-huh, uh-huh. That's good. Uh-huh, yeah. Do you have any children? N...
Do you? Yes, I have two children, and our home is really too small for us right now Ours is, too. We outgrew it when we moved in. Yeah, we moved from an apartment that was really small, Uh-huh. and at the time we just had a little baby that was five months old Uh-huh. so we moved into this house in Garland, it's in one...
it has less than a thousand square feet Oh, wow. yeah, it's real little. You all are cramped Yeah, and now I have a daughter, now my, the one that was five months old is seven years old Uh-huh. and the one, I have another one that's three and a half and have all these clothes, and toys and stuff that we're just trying ...
so, um, the people that lived here before us did use it for a bedroom Uh-huh. but we have always just put like our computer and extra toys and books and Uh-huh. you know, it's kind of a catch all room But it sure is nice to have it when the kids come over to play Yeah. they all go out there to play with the Barbies and...
yeah, so, um, and right now we have their clothes on, uh, like double racks, you know, in the closet Uh-huh. we made a higher and a lower Uh-huh. and it works out fine, but they're just about to get too tall where the dresses are beginning to drag you know, Uh-huh. and, um, we're going to have to figure out a new idea....
but they say that we have wonderful schools. Well, I think I've heard a lot, uh, about Coppell schools, that they're real good Uh-huh. that's neat. Um. Do you, do you hope to have children, or are you not planning on having any, or, I don't think so, no. I see. Well, do you have any pets? Oh, of course, those are my ki...
Well, that's, that's neat. They're my babies. Yeah. Well, what are the colors in your house? Uh, um, kind of a mauve and gray. Oh, I bet that's pretty. Uh-huh, and then the kitchen's kind of a, a country pink and country blue, and it's all done in cows, Uh-huh. I'm a cow nut Oh, that's neat. I like cows, too. Uh-huh Ye...
Wow. yeah, and it was redone before we moved in, which, I'm thankful for that, but the, it was redone at the time probably when earth tones were in Yeah. everything is Yeah. like, the carpet's kind of a tan and brown and has, um, paneling in the living room, and lots of, lots of tans and lots of browns Uh-huh. Uh-huh. ...
yeah, we've enjoyed living here. It's close to my, uh, oldest daughter's school Oh. and that makes it really handy, too Uh-huh, uh-huh. and she really likes her school, so Good. and we are so close to shopping and ... That's an important factor there Yeah, how about in Coppell? I've always imagined it kind of out, away...
but, when we first moved to Coppell, it's what, six years ago, we didn't even have a grocery store Oh, wow, and now we have four Oh. and Coppell's not really big enough to support four grocery stores Yeah, yeah so, but it does sound like it's definitely growing. Oh, much very much. Yeah. In fact, it's about the size no...
that was our second choice, yeah, behind Garland, Oh really, we, at the time we thought we might buy a mobile home, So do you have an opinion on credit cards? Um, I do You do? What, what do you think about them? I think they get a lot of people in trouble. Yeah, definitely. I have one right now and, um, I just got it a...
I got in trouble when I was in the service quite a few years ago like ten to fifteen thousand dollars in trouble. Oh, my goodness. And then, you know, so I eventually got it all paid. Now I carry one. I have a gas card and a Visa card. And I never use them unless I need to Really? So but they, That's good. yeah, I, I m...
and we have a bunch of college kids around here going to Tech, and they seem to get in trouble with them a lot. Uh-huh. I have, I have a couple friends too that have about three of them maxed out And they they can't do anything but work to try to pay them off. Yeah. And, and, and like one of my friends she has, hers is...
and fifteen dollars of it was interest so she was only paying in it fifteen dollars a month. Yeah. So and that was before we got married, so. But it's, you know, we sat down and talked about it and discussed it and it's, it's come out pretty good. Now we have a eighteen year old that's fixing to get out of high school ...
I don't, But I think they're too readily accessible Uh-huh. and there's too many companies out there that are willing to give them to you and get you get you trapped. I mean you can always file bankruptcy to get out of it, but that's a lot of pain and hassle. When, you know in the olden days when my parents were growin...
Uh-huh. Of course, we wouldn't have the retail market we have either so I guess they trade one for the other. Yeah. I disagree with it, but they still trade one for the other. Huh. Well, that's good. I'm, it sounds like you kind of got your head together in the credit department for, you sound pretty young, so Yeah, I'...
when you want something that, like last weekend was homecoming and I needed a pair of shoes Oh. so I just went out and bought them and on my credit card. Yeah. I didn't really have the money to do it but, Yeah, it's pretty easy Yeah It sure is. So do you just have two kids or, Uh, we have a eighteen year old, seventeen...
But right now I'm out in Provo, Utah going to B Y U so Are you a, you're a Mormon then? Yep Oh, all right But, this is a extra long one. What's that? They're giving us a lot of time Oh, yeah. They may not, they must not have too much traffic on Saturdays Yeah. Have you done a lot of this? Uh, fifteen or twenty I guess....
Well, uh, and that's an idea that's been around for, kicked around for a long time. I don't know that it's ever been seriously considered, uh, as far as close to passing, uh, any legislation or anything like that. But, uh, I believe Israel does that, don't they for their, Uh, yes, I think so. Uh, everybody has to do, h...
but the idea that, uh, there are things that, that do need to be done that could be done and then, uh, country would benefit from one year from, from everybody and even out the, the, uh, requirement. Yeah, for, for kids in high school, it could be in the summertime. Well, now that's a thought. Yeah. Uh, you know, um, i...
There's lots and lots of volunteer programs and, uh, but most of those are at least it, it's my opinion that most of those involve adults. Adults who have the time to give and, and, uh, you know, the desire to, to give. Yeah. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yeah. It's not, uh, you know it's not, uh, maybe the, maybe it uh, younger peo...
And, uh, they, they promote service on the part of the kids to, to, uh, some of those people. So at least that's a step in the right direction I guess. Yeah. yeah. And, uh, now I I don't know it I, I think you're right that that's not the, not the way that the society these days is going, and I, I think we need to, we ...
right. Uh, it really is better to give then to receive. Yeah, I, I agree with that, and, uh, and I, I, I don't know what, what has, what has set it off or what but it, it certainly seems to me that, that, uh, uh, things in, in the last twenty-three years, uh, things have definitely gone towards, uh, very much the conce...
but it cost me all kind of money, you know, to have that repaired after they said they were going to, they had repaired it. So that was, that was a horrible experience just recently. Yeah, I see. You got lucky you didn't ruin the whole engine though. Yes, yes. That can be pretty serious. I know. I know. What about you?...
I was going on my way home from Thanksgiving Uh-huh. and it broke like in the middle of nowhere. Uh-huh. So, I had to get it towed and then fixed and Uh-huh. big pain. Oh, oh, I know. I know. Especially when you're out on the highway. Yeah, that's where I was. Luckily someone came by and gave me a ride. Uh-huh. Uh-huh....
your car is fuming and everything. It's already a hundred degrees you don't need that too. Oh, shoot But my car is getting old. See it's about six years old now, so. Yeah, so is mine Yeah, so I got it right out of college and so it's, uh, it's starting to show the wear and tear now. Yeah, I'm hoping mine gets me throug...
that, uh, that was my graduation present to myself, so. Oh, that's nice Yeah. Yeah, I know so but gosh, it's really starting to, to wear so I've been thinking, especially now is a good time to buy a car. Yeah. because I can't, uh, I don't know if I want to, you know, pay all these repairs now to start getting it fixed ...
because I, I need to have it tuned, you know, tuned up and I don't know, replace some of the belts. And I was looking at the, uh, tires need to be replaced and so I was thinking just a lot of money I'm, might as well buy me a new car for that. Yeah, I got new tires last winter too so I'm like, well, that's the last maj...
So, Lot of snow and a lot of cold. Uh-huh. Well, especially don't you have what, a lot of salt on the ground? Yeah, at times there's a lot of it. Uh-huh. You got to like clean out the underneath of your car all the time when you get a chance. Yeah. Yeah, well, rust and the, and the body too, huh? Yeah, I haven't had a ...
Yeah, and go like that so. Yeah. I usually like to do most repairs on my own though. Do you? Yeah, just because that way I know what's wrong with my car and what it needs and what it really doesn't. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Yeah. Plus if something goes wrong, I know who to blame. Well, I, I think I'm getting too old for all tha...
your time becomes very precious so working on the car is just not one of those things I want to spend my time on anymore More fun things to do. Absolutely, absolutely. So, yeah, I'm trying to, you know, I just need one, I had two cars there for a while so I wouldn't have to worry about which car was going to run. Well,...
so yeah, that was, uh, that was something else Well, are our five minutes up? Yeah, I was just wondering that I, I didn't, I didn't set the time or anything to, uh, Yeah, I didn't either. Yeah, put , Yeah, this must be a, a hard category. Well, yeah, I guess. Um, you know, unless you're, um, you know, big do-it-yoursel...
and, oh, I took my car up there to their house and, um, I guess I had a crack in the block, and when I got up there the car, All right, uh, well, let's see, How old are you Lisa? I'm twenty. Okay. How old are you? I'm older. Older Older than you are. Okay. Okay, we are supposed to talk about places we like to go. So I'...

And, uh, seems like all big cities have plenty of that nowadays, doesn't it? Well, uh, I, that's, sure. Uh, I, I think it's statistics, obviously, vary greatly. I always thought of Dallas as being a fairly safe place. Well, it is, but our crimes up here, uh, as I think it must be in most cities now, but, uh, I was list...
