it is. Maybe that's why they're so slow. I guess they're stoned on the stuff or something. Yeah, it, it looks really potent stuff. Yeah yeah. But, uh, it's, yeah, I think it's the greatest stuff in the world, though. It's, jeez, they, I make all kinds of things with it. We make all kinds of things just with dried flowe...
then you start looking at it, go, boy, this, this is kind of ugly But I know someone who does a lot of woodworking for a hobby. Um, he does it, believe it or not, I wouldn't imagine why, but to get out of the house, away from his wife, because he's a seasonal worker, he works in the construction. And up here it's almos...
this particular one, I think, was in Maine and New Hampshire, where out in the, just kind of out in these little towns they'd be in, they may be the same kind of people you're talking about. You know, they've, they've got twelve weeks to do something, and they, they're making furniture and just, you know, things like t...
That would be really you know, like say the, Oh, man, yeah. And it's all got to line up. It's, and, uh, I don't think he goofs too much, I don't to, see too much scrap around. Yeah, yeah, that's, that's something. Now our temperatures down here, we're starting to get pretty consistently in the seventies and eighties Go...
so the, the cold weather can kill them Yeah, these were, uh, trees that, that wintered. but I guess, I don't know where they came from. They come out of nurseries mostly in Missouri and places like that. And they come down here and they'll sit in the nurseries here and they'll go ahead and, and, uh, leaf out. So what I...
and, uh, when you have time to do it Yeah. My sister does, uh, flower gardens. She gets right into it. Uh-huh. She spends lots of money on them. And I guess a lot of people do, do do that. They landscape their whole house with flower gardens. Yeah . She's got like, just a small patch of lawn and just flowers and mulch ...
We're kind of out of, uh, the natural tree area. We're kind of up on a, on a higher, on a slope. So you don't have a lot of tree coverage? So we don't have, where we are right now there are very few trees. Because going to make, This was, this was, this was pasture land, but down the, down the hill here a little ways t...
I like the way that, I like the way that idea of the south is, but when I think of Texas, I think of nothing but, no trees and just grass Well, I tell you what, now, see, East Texas, there's two parts of Texas, East Texas and North Texas. Atlanta and Dallas are almost identical in every way, weather and everything. Yea...
Well, ironically enough I'm sitting here with a cast on my leg because I resumed an aerobics class the night before last. Oh, no. I ripped the ligaments in my right ankle. Gosh. Yeah so, Exercise is not supposed to do that to you. That's what the nurses kept saying as they laughed all the way, you know, down the hallwa...
and I try to walk, um, at least five times a week. Do you, when you go to the , I have to ask you, and if this is getting to , we're not supposed to get too particular, but I'm just curious, when you go over there does it bother you in terms of how things are arranged, either at the Dallas location or the Spring Creek,...
Even the Spring Creek one has a lot of weights in it. Yeah, that's true. Or is that what your into or, No, No, well, I've used the Nautilus equipment. And the bikes, and stair climbers, and stuff like that mostly. Uh-huh. Yeah. I don't use the free weights but, I like the tread mill and the stair master myself over the...
I know. Well, what I did was I went to a jazzercise class in a new location in Richardson near where we live in North Dallas, and long story short, I hadn't, this is really a stupid thing that happened, but they have like the gymnasium flooring and then like they had about three feet of linoleum around the perimeter in...
That was Tuesday night, and Wednesday night the radiologist called me at work and, uh, I was on crutches, and he said, I think you better call an orthopedist. So we went to one and he just put a big old cast on it. Put a big cast on it. Yeah, for about four weeks. Four weeks, yeah. Well, I like aerobics, but I'm not so...
Yeah. You know, I was real embarrassed, but I felt kind of stupid Well, those things happen, though. Yeah, they do. I mean, I guess I'm glad, you know, that, um, nobody really noticed, I guess you could say. Yeah. Because I got up and started jumping on it again. Well that did a lot of good, I'm sure. Yeah really. I en...
I broke my heel. No, Oh that makes my foot, how'd you do that? In aerobics? no, actually I was up on a ladder, and, uh, fell off. Leaned the wrong way. Oh goodness. Uh-huh. And when I came down I hit with my full weight on my foot, but on concrete. What'd they do for that? Did they have to cast it? Yeah, they had, well...
I can't do any jumping up and down because it makes it hurt. Oh, that makes sense. So, I mean, are you, in terms of other things, like, like, not running, but playing a little bit of tennis, or can you not do stuff like that at all? Uh, well I haven't tried that. I don't know. It's been I bet it's been thirty years sin...
but when you go easy a hundred seventy at my height, um, I'm five eleven you need just take it easy. Um. Sure. Um, but when I see some I mean, and I just don't think it's healthy all that pounding all the time. It isn't, really, it's not really good for your knees. So, yeah, that's the other reason, and, I don't know, ...
And my husband being a T I engineer, I said a few things to him when I got home, I said, who has engineered that? Really But I, sounds you, like one thing that I like, like swimming, you like that a lot? Uh-huh, I like swimming. Uh-huh. do you like to exercise because you want to or because you have to? No, I like, I l...
it seems like when you exercise and expend the energy that you'd be tired, but it's the other way around. Right. It curbs the appetite and helps with the calories and all that stuff. Yeah really. Yeah but, Yeah, and I need all the help I can get. That gravity factor, I know Uh-huh. It does get you. Like that orthopedis...
thanks a lot. Yeah, because I was saying to him, I said, I'm not that heavy, I'm not heavy, you know, maybe ten to fifteen pounds like any other human being. Uh-huh. I said, uh, why do I feel like I need to start pushing myself more. And he goes, human nature And then, you know, you see these little girls in these litt...
but, you know, sometime when I ask, I just feel like, boy, am I stupid or what. Uh-huh. Well that's one thing I like about the Spring Creek place. At least the fellow that's there, one of the fellows that's there at night and on weekends is real helpful. Uh-huh. And his name is B J. I don't think I've ever, I think I'v...
No, I haven't either, and I just, uh, it's not that far of a drive and I'm glad they did that. Um, you're not missing anything at the Dallas renovated site. It's not at all anything worth talking about. Yeah. Yeah. I thought maybe one of these days I'll drive over there and check it out. Yeah, but if you don't live nea...
And as we were doing it, too, everybody noticed that there were all these big guys of assorted nationalities. walked out, I was one thing, oh great, I have purple tights on, you know. Uh-huh. And they're going yes. But in general I like to I, I like dance a lot, so I mean aerobics is something I'd hate to give up. But ...
But I just, the more they tried to get my foot in the more I screamed, I couldn't, you know adjust that. I know what you mean. You know more about this stuff than I do, obviously then, Not fun No. Well, you're walking okay now obviously, and you can, Oh, yeah, I have a slight limp from it, but it matches one if I have ...
I really do enjoy it. Okay, thank you, Sandy. Sure, thanks. Uh-huh. Bye-bye. I don't know, um, do you do a lot of camping? Well, my husband and I haven't done a whole lot of camping, we, but we bought a van last year, Yeah. and we were hoping, uh, to do some camping in the van, um, we did go camping in not Arkansas, Ok...
um, up here some of the state parks are really nice and some of them aren't, some of them are pretty rough. Really? Um, yeah, they, they just have like outhouses, they don't have like a shower room or anything, yeah , but some of them are really nice they have showers and full bathrooms, Um. um, but I don't know, I, I'...
and it, um, I mean, there wasn't any electricity on the camp site but it was all right, we only spent two nights there. I wouldn't want to spend more than two nights. I wouldn't want to go for like a week, but, um, two nights is good. Yeah, that would, that would be much. Um, especially there was a little store close b...
it, it was pretty early in the year. Um, yeah, up here you got to wait until, August, until the water warms up . Yeah. Well, it's not that bad but it's still pretty chilly. Um, I don't know, I was, I have a tent and I fluff out in it, in the backyard and stuff, but this thing about camping that bothers me is you've got...
and that's just about as bad as a kid Yeah, boy, he doesn't go in and out of the tent a hundred times . And use it as a play, uh, Uh-huh. they like to play in them. Yeah, I don't know how you can really keep, uh, the inside of a tent clean. Yeah, I don't know . Other than, you know, taking your shoes off right before y...
Um, did you have another, a big tent, like uh, um, like a, looks like a sitting area type, you know, like a two room type ? No, but, you know, I was just thinking of getting one those for the yard because they are really nice and, um, up here we have, uh, we have quite a few mosquitoes at nighttime. Yeah, yeah, we don'...
that's the whole thing that everyone told me, oh, I'm, I was going to go to, Little River State Park, that place is great, there's no bugs. Huh. But, oh, okay, because, uh, we were having a really big problem up here in certain areas, we were really affected bad by it , but really got it, um, almost destroyed the the t...
Huh. I mean, just the very second, it's really strange. They, uh, they must, uh, work on that, you know, the, it gets cooler when the sun sets and then they all come out. Well, have you ever, have you ever taken any of those, um, what do they call this, lights, have you ever used those? Oh, yeah, yeah, I never really n...
Yeah. they work, but they're suppose to work really well. Huh. Oh, I'm in my paperwork here, that's what I do when I wait for a phone call, I get in my paperwork Oh, to find my most important parts. But I don't know, I don't know if I'm going to go, I wish was an avid camper and I could really talk about like gardening...
so, we don't have any, any children yet, um, So, it's easy for you to go. Yeah, so, easy to pick up and go, and, we have a van and we can just throw a couple of sleeping bags in the back of it. Um, oh, God So, it's not really, I guess, camping the way most people picture camping in the tent but, I don't know but that s...
And he, he's got three kids, so, his kids will sleep in the truck, in the, in the back of the bed. Um, and they sleep in the pop-up. Well, those, they're kind of nice but they're also, um, flimsy when you really look at them. But when you get inside they're really nice, you know, Yeah. everything's really, but then whe...
what do you, what do you do when you get a, I mean, like a really violent storm like a tornado, just stay in your truck. I mean, I wouldn't stay in the, um, Well, theirs was so bad, and they were so close to the water that the water was coming up, Oh. and they had to get out of there. So, then, were they successful? Ye...
Yeah, yeah, they, the whole, the whole campsite was evacuated. Wow. I mean some, I think some people that had fairly sturdy, um, vehicles or whatever if they had like a Winnebago or something and they were farther in away from the water, I think they stayed. Yeah. But everybody that was real close to the water ended up...
they're, they're, uh, it's like a little house except the whole face is open, and the one time that we went, we got one, it was overlooking the water but it was a big embankment, I wanted to get one right on the water. we had an electrical storm too, and it was really, it was neat sitting there watching it, I mean, it ...
so, uh, I lived in Kansas City for a couple years and I adopted the Royals, I lived in Houston for two and a half years so I adopted the, uh, uh, the Houston Astros, so I mean, you know, I've got quite a few. Well do you keep up with the statistical stuff? No, I don't, I don't get into that too much, every once in a wh...
Well, it, it, it is but it's the, it's, it's a reverse indicator. Well that's true, they don't have the offense to, uh, to get out, or to have the, the more runs, so. Well what the, what the argument is and it, it, it, it's one of these statistical, gee, how can you draw a conclusion from it, but they find that, there'...
I don't know, what do you, what do you think of Incaviglia's loss. I kind of think it was necessary, I mean, I, I don't, I'm not a, a big, um, pure power hitter anyway. I mean, I don't like these guys that get up there and swing for the downs every time. I mean, uh, I think that, uh, that a player ought to hit a home r...
and all of a sudden he becomes a hero. Yeah, well that's true. And, and all he has to do is hit the ball, I mean, you're not, and all he has to do is one, you know, hit it once. It doesn't, he can, he can he can swing a couple times, if he fouls it up he can swing as much as he can. Right. It's an interesting, uh, an i...
Now having somebody get up and hit a solo home run does you, you know, gives you run, obviously. Yes. But I mean if you can't do it with men on base, there's something definitely wrong, um, you know, you, you've got to be able to get the two and three run home runs, you know, to, to be able to, uh, score enough runs to...
Well I go to Saint Louis from time to time and I watch, I, I watch their sports up there and they're, uh, they're certainly intense about the Cardinals they, Uh-huh. Oh yeah, baseball is their, is their life up there like football is down here I think. did you actually live in Saint Louis? I lived in the suburbs of Sai...
and I went and visited him, but anyway, it is interesting. Well how are the Cardinals? Do you still keep up with them, or Yeah, oh yeah, I, I definitely do, in fact I've got family that still lives up there. Um, from what I hear from everybody up there, they're not going to have a good year because they let too many pe...
Exactly, yeah. And, and the question is how do you forecast that, You can't. if you had to, if you had to bet on who would be in the World Series, I mean it would be really tough. Right, I think the best thing that you can do is go with, um, the players that are, that have the talent to do the best years. And, um, that...
and, Well is there enough money, that's part of it, I, uh, that was part of Skip Bayless' argument. Uh-huh. I don't know if you read Skip Bayless, but a, a local commentary No. and, his argument is that uh, the ownership is not inclined to lose big money long enough to, to bring in the big dollars. Uh-huh. Um, that's p...
And I think that's really what's been hurting, uh, the, uh, Rangers. Well didn't Kansas City put up quite a bit of money for their pitching staff . Oh yeah, they, they spent more money, last year than any other team in the, in the league and they were, you know, toward the bottom of the league. Uh, so it's like I said ...
and, uh, you know, I mean, I, I guess as we get older, you're probably going, if, if you, if you compare to go to a, a sport, a, a say you go to a rock concert, or, or even a performance, a, an opera or the symphony or something, uh, Uh-huh. if, you know, but how, how often do you do that. Right. An I, I, I would, I wo...
Yeah, but don't you think there's a, there, there are older fans there. I, I don't mean older, um, you know, the fact that, that it's, it's a better established and that the, the city is, is, is more, of a ... Okay, um, what baseball team are you familiar with? Well, I'm only a little bit familiar with the Red Sox beca...
I mean, think, the, he, this chain that must have been on President Bush to bounce the first pitch off the ground, I mean, how humiliating for a man to do that, any man. I don't care if you're President. Yeah, but at the same time, I don't know, it's pretty far to throw that far I couldn't do it. I know but he's a man ...
he's like, I thought he was the owner but it turns out my Mom said that he's part owner but he must own the biggest chunk because that's all you hear about is, if, you know, about Neal Bush I think is his name. Uh-huh. See, I even know his name because he's on the news a lot, and I never had to watch the news not, you ...
I know and see a credit card you're not President Bush. I know and he said yeah, it does so fast , I heard it on the radio. I heard the audio portion on the radio in the car but I didn't see it but, It was so funny to see, it was a really cute little kid too. That's about my extent of, um, about baseball, I don't know,...
but they won, the Mets won. Did they? But, yeah, not my a lot, *sp? by and then somebody else lost, maybe it was the other New York team which is the Yankees, Uh-huh. but I don't even know if they're still New York Yankees, or New Jersey. That's so stupid that you all have two teams. Yeah. That's really stupid. Well, b...
The Texas Rangers, they, they lost, I think. Uh-huh. But I know that last year we did go to a baseball game last year. We got free tickets because someone at our church, one of the deacons at church, um, parks cars at The Mansion at Turtle Creek which is like one of the, uh, the places and stuff. Uh-huh. And he's their...
With baseball tickets. and we ended up with them, right. And so we were, walking up Yeah . and I looked at my husband and I said, you know what Kyle this is The Mansion at Turtle Creek a tip I bet these are really good seats and so we ended up on first base right down there on the floor, Wow. oh, yeah, we they called u...
like I'm loaded, I'm here, you know, and, uh, it was just kind of funny because, you know, but we got to sit by first base if they did hit a ball I would have been afraid it would have knocked my face in, you know. I know I'm always scared of that whenever I go to a game. I rarely go but we went last year because my br...
not a real lot, but he tries to go, then my father got us some tickets, Uh-huh. so my brother's wife and my husband and I went. Last year we wanted to show my husband what a baseball game was because, you know, being a non-American you want to see what a baseball game is like. Uh-huh. And he describes it as, you sit th...
yeah, and so you're basically you sit there and wait for something exciting to happen and when it happened he missed it, and didn't understand it Um, he grew up out, well, he grew up in , which is the, sort of O strip east to west, eastern part, That's funny. Where is he from in France? Uh-huh. but that , Yeah. I have ...
Yeah, Saint Claude, Yeah. yeah, we used to, that's one of the, um, entrances to the periphery to get in and out of the city. Oh, really? And it, it, it, it sits right at the limit, Uh-huh. I exactly where she is. But, um, we met in Paris. That's neat. Yeah, she married and they have twelve children. Twelve children? Sh...
she's gorgeous and she just liked having kids and she's thin and, I mean, four or more children are thin, Were any of them twins? I mean, I'm not kidding you. You probably can't afford to eat if you have more than two of them No, your, I have a friend now that has seven. And, um, and they're all eight and under, and ni...
and you think everyone should have it. And so I'm real proud of them because they're aren't really, they don't do that at all. Uh-huh. You go in their bathroom and there's ten tooth brushes in there. And I always give her a hard time whose toothbrush did you really use this morning But how do they afford to even have t...
that got him a bonus of twenty-five thousand which allowed him to pay cash for a full size van. He loves God, I mean, it was the biggest thing that any one in this company had ever done, Wow. and he got to do it and so God just really blesses him in ways like that, do trust God because, I don't know, kids are a blessin...
but training, and training is different than anything else in, in psychology doesn't address it. A lot of the psychology stuff, the good stuff that's in psychology it just comes out of the BIBLE and they don't quote you the proverb out of it, but the things that work in psychology other the years that they've proven to...
and you don't go to baseball games as much or you get pictures like we did. You know what I mean? Yeah. You do these fun things, you know, in other kinds of ways and I know Manhattan's real expensive but, um, it's kind of a different situation because you're probably living in an apartment, right? Yeah, well, that make...
But everybody wants to do it but, you know, God's sitting on my heart and I just hadn't gotten around to doing it, but anyway, so they could really only have four members on the team. I think they only have four boys . I don't even think they have but two old enough to play yet. Uh-huh. But, um, then you didn't believe...
I, most of my friends have three or four kids and they feel like, you know, that's really why God and some of the people in our church use birth control and some of them don't, I had my tubes tied so you, Well, this is a good subject, isn't it? Yeah. It's, it's something that you can really talk about. Yeah. Um, I don'...
Uh-huh. and, and they're really quite, uh, arrogant about it all. They, they believe that they, they belong there and they've belonged there forever, and, the Palestinians and the Arabs are, uh, more or less, they, they consider them second class. Uh-huh. So, they're really quite arrogant about it. I don't, uh, I don't...
but they like them around because they do all the menial labor and such. Uh-huh. But they, they really do, they look down on them. And, I don't know, being, I, I live in, uh, Vermont and being up here we pretty much treat everybody, you know, as someone that has merit, even if they're poor, or if they're Hispanic or if...
Oh, um, I talked to someone about San Antonio, Uh-huh. and, um, they said that they, they have, you have quite the problem with, uh, the ghettos, I don't know, do they call it the barrio down there. That's the barrios but it's, it's I don't think it's any different of a problem than any other major city. It's just Hisp...
Oh, my, um, yeah, like I, we're so protected up here, it's, it's really strange. I mean our red light district, I mean, uh, you could go walking around down there and pretty much not fear for your life, you know, Uh-huh. and we're just so protected. But, it's, it's, over in the Mid East, especially Israel, it's just li...
but you don't want to get so directly involved that you're occupying the, the country. Yeah, yeah, we can't get involved in their civil war, um, unfortunately, but we've kind of driven these people out. To do it, yeah, but you see President Bush is telling them rebel, you know, uh, uprise. And that's what they did and ...
Yeah. everyone I talk to, they says, you know, it's real easy to say that. We, we didn't damage enough of their arsenal. We damaged most of it but we, we should have gotten, made sure we got everything. Yeah, I don't think the higher ups were thinking about what this guy's going to do with the rest of his war machine. ...
So they were, they were playing it very safe, but, you know, it, an ounce what do they say, an ounce of hind sight is worth, whatever. Yeah. they, I don't know, they, it, Schwartzkopf knew what had to be done and it's too bad that he just didn't have the ability just to do it, to you know, the, uh, the go ahead to do i...
I just have a feeling that the military involvement isn't over yet. That I, I still feel like there's more to come. I don't think this whole issue is settled as far as we're concerned. Well you know what I was hoping? I was hoping Iran was going to take a very, um, dramatic stand and invade, you know, and then like Ira...
and maybe if the world could have given them some type of aid. It's, it's just so complicated. I was real surprised that Israel stayed out of it as, as much as they did. Oh, yeah, well, you, knowing them, they're very, um, oh, I don't know, almost compare them to a very egotistical man. Uh-huh. You're damn right, I'm g...
and I just saw atomic bomb, Uh, I have, uh, I guess a lot of thoughts about the Vietnam War, um, I, I guess I feel like I was pretty young while it was going on and so there's probably a lot of things I remember and a lot of things that I really didn't have a clue as to what was happening. Yeah. Um, looking back, like ...
Uh-huh. And, uh, my husband is a Vietnam veteran and you know, he in looking at the Persian Gulf war that just went on, he, it frustrates him because of the support that they have and the support that the Vietnam vets did not have, from the people or the administration, either one. of static throughout Don't you think ...
and I'm, and I'm not sure you can undo the damage that was done emotionally, on so many of the people. Right. No, I don't think you can and I, I agree with you that I, I think that the, the time difference between the two wars has allowed a lot of people to see the mistakes that were made in, in, in every aspect of it...
And you see, I think him going in and doing that would be putting us in another Vietnam situation. I think it would too. And I don't think the U S will stand for it. I don't think he would do that, No, uh, I think we learned too much of the effects. Yeah, I agree with that. Uh, you know whether it was justified or not,...
I mean, my, my biggest problem with all of these wars is we spend all of that money on all these other countries and we have so many problems here at home that we don't address. That we don't get fixed. That's right. I know. And, and that's what frustrates me more than anything. And I, I believe that we have to have a ...
Yeah. I think that's a good, Yeah, a lot of good has come from this one. I think so too. And I think, I guess, in, in, uh, ironic way a lot of good came from the Vietnam war toward this war because like we, we said earlier, that, you know, the a lot of eyes were opened after years and years of, of that war and and, And...
No, there was no feeling of accomplishment, no goal, no, No. we went in but what did we do. We lost lives and, and what were we trying to do. Who knows. Yeah, that's true. And, I, I think you're right, uh, I think you're right there. Um, I do remember when it was over. I remember when they were coming home. Uh, but, I ...
I'm not for war, Right. but I believe that the way that it was done and the way that was handled were right. I don't remember that feeling back in Vietnam. Right. I just remember, oh yeah, our guys are over there and it's sad and we shouldn't be fighting a war but there was no, let's support them, you know. Right, the,...
That's right. And for some reason those people don't see that. They don't see it as supporting the folks, the people. No, no, they don't and, you know, they're just real shallow people. I would agree with you there Yeah. I, I agree. Um, and I, and I recall when President Bush said that, you know, he said look, I, you k...
not. they're not doing anything for anybody except themselves. That's true. And I don't even know what they're doing for themselves. You know. Uh. Giving a soapbox to stand on Yeah But, well, I just, I, I'm glad we've learned. I'm sorry we had the experience of Vietnam. Yeah. And, uh, and I'm, I'm, I'm especially sorry...
I guess not. I think this is the first time that I haven't been cut off by the computer I know, we get cut off all the time, too Usually I can talk all day but this is something to me that's sad Yeah, it is. So, well have a good day and I appreciate the conversation. Thanks, same here. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. So the general ...
I enjoy playing basketball and, and basically all kinds of sports. And, uh, Any handicrafts? Excuse me. Any handicrafts? No, not, not really, um, no, I'm really not too creative well, I, uh, you know, around with my hands and things like that I leave that more up to my Mom So, um, I think I'm in handicraft. Oh, yeah.
