Uh-huh. And uh, one of the guys that was on the jury they were asking him if, if you could believe a lawyer or if a, lawyer's reputation was so tainted that he couldn't be believed Uh-huh. and one guy being selected snickered and couldn't keep his head up, you know, Uh-huh. and the guy said, Well, can you share it wit...
you're right. So by definition all lawyers and politicians are liars. The fact that they take our money and don't do what we think is right makes them thieves. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, that's true. So what's it going to cost us in the long run there in Saudi? Are we going to lose more lives there? See, and I don't know...
You know it's not like we threw eight aircraft over there all by ourselves and said this is wrong. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. We were there, the Brits were there. Right. The French were there. This is with U N backing Uh-huh. and to some level even Russia was behind. Uh-huh. Right, they were. So honestly if there is, was a well p...
Yeah. And it's not their job to fight for their own land. Yeah, that is very it's very strange. Uh, and yet, you know, see that's another thing that, that's difficult for Americans, their culture is so much different than ours, you know, I've heard from many people that we could not even begin to understand how they fe...
Uh, yeah. See and that's another question you have to ask, is this our job? Is, are we, should we still be there even, you know? I don't know the answers to those questions. I think they're tough and I think, you know, it's, I don't know that anybody knows the answers. I think they know what they believe but I'm not su...
but, you know. But, you know, I'd like to make sure that I have a job tomorrow first. Sure. Sure. That's right. That's right. It, it astound, you realize that the Kuwaiti government gives every Kuwaiti man, woman, and child money. Uh, no. I wasn't, I didn't, wasn't aware of that, no. For nothing. For doing nothing, yea...
They hand them money each year and they're part of, I'll let you go first. Well I think, I don't know how your schools work back there but we support our schools here with property taxes. Uh-huh. And the land owners or home owners are the ones that pay the school tax. So if you're renting a house or doing anything else...
and so all the things come out of the, the property taxes, Yeah. and I was, uh, really shocked at the amount of taxes I ended up paying. I was, I was better off paying a state tax back in Maryland, where, Yeah, yeah you would be. than I was, uh, paying the, uh, property tax down there. Uh, what they did in Maryland to ...
but also a portion of the state tax that you pay goes back into the county that you live in, to pay for the educational system. Oh, well that's pretty good. And so it, it works out nice, it, it, it makes it so that the, uh, whole county now, I, I know the concept of counties in Texas is quite a bit different than it is...
in other words, they came up with this federalized system where everyone in the third grade would be taught basically the same thing. Yeah. And, then, at the end of, uh, school year they would be tested and then they go into the fourth grade and everybody in the fourth grade's basically taught the same thing. Yeah. So ...
but they keep complaining they don't have the money to do it. Yeah, well, they, they've been having some problems, uh, even here in, uh, like Baltimore City which is, a, a, pretty good good sized city. Yeah. Uh, they've been putting a lot of, uh, stress on it and of course, speaking of stress the teachers are all getti...
Uh-huh. And so that, the, you know, one of the things I heard proposed on, uh, one of the public radio stations up here was that we should go back to teaching children at their own speed. Some Yeah, Yeah. they can't keep force feeding things to each other and, or, you know, at the kids. And, and, uh, and on top of that...
Yeah. And so they put them into special programs and then we actually held them back in fourth grade. Um. And it wasn't until the last two years, um, last year my, uh, they're they're a set of twins, um, a boy and a girl. Uh-huh. Last year the, the, uh, boy twin started doing real well. All right. And it, it, everythin...
Yeah, I did too, up until ninth or tenth grade. I, I, I started to, to come around and realize an, and basically I got interested in math, and, uh, never really did well in english Yeah. but, you know once you got interested in something and things started to click in place then after that you take off. Yeah, and see w...
Yeah it is, um, my children had a, uh, real culture shock, uh, when we lived in Plano, I guess, I don't know if you've heard about the Plano school district, but. they're uh, they really stress academics there. No. Uh-huh. And, uh, God, if your child is not an honor student, well then, you're, something wrong with you ...
and, they you know, Yeah that would be quite a shock. it's, and they had, uh, ag, they had an ag course, uh, I forget what it was called, uh, but it goes along the, the lines of industrial arts, but it's, agricultural. Uh-huh. And where they had to raise a small animal. Oh, like, Four H then. Had to learn how to drive ...
and it, you know, it made school fun for them again because prior to that school was just a big pain, a drain. Yeah, just something you do everyday. Yeah, and it was, you know. It was like, kind of like the way we feel about going to work Yeah, yeah, just something I have to do everyday. But, uh, up here they seem to h...
Pets get like that don't they, they think they own you Don't they really? They own the place and naturally these are cats, so. Okay, these are cats. I remember one time, uh, I used to get a chuckle out of, out of Pogo. That dates me quite a bit, you probably don't know Oh, Pogo, sure. Yeah, he, when Beauregard was talk...
I, don't know, I, I, I think that, um, my husband and I are in such a situation that, uh, um, I'm kind of, um, not able to do a lot, I'm, I'm kind of in a wheelchair, I mean I kind of am, Oh, uh-huh. just good company, huh, that's neat. but, uh, yeah, I've got these two cats that hang around with me all day, and I don'...
it was a little, uh, I got it so it wouldn't, wouldn't shed, one of these, French Poodle, a little French Poodle. Oh my. Oh, really. Yeah, and, uh, he used to, I used to come down stairs in the morning to feed him, you know, and I'd let him up out of the basement where he was sleeping and he would just dance around the...
Oh, uh, by choice? It was about, uh, oh, three feet long, about three feet long. It was a beautiful animal, name was Clyde. Clyde the iguana. Clyde the iguana. And, uh, my son Dan went to, uh, to, uh, Hawaii for the summer and when he came home, uh, he didn't bring the iguana with him but for some reason or other he ha...
They're very much like, uh, well, the thing about them is that they hold so still you don't notice that they're there and then they move and about scares you to death sometimes. Did you have him in a cage? No, Oh no, he had full run of the house. Oh no, oh no. He just loved to sit on the back of my dryer where the air,...
Uh. Oh no, I mean you don't argue with an iguana, do you. But he was really a neat animal. He, he'd lay in Dan's lap, you know, and just, uh, when he'd pet him, he'd just stretch and, you know, you could see him just enjoying it like a cat does. Oh no. It was kind of interesting. But he did a lot of interesting things ...
so that, uh, people could go in there. And Dan was a drummer, Uh-huh. and he didn't, he, the only thing he didn't like very well was the drumming. Was the drumming. When Dan would drum he'd sit there and scrunch up, you know like he was trying to protect himself, And cover his ears. and then he'd leave the room Isn't t...
Oh. and he was so funny. Uh, for a while they built a, a run for him out to the side of the house, you know. He'd been on the patio but they put the run out there, and he didn't like this run because there were no people that came by and sometimes he would just make a racket until you came and got him. And one night we...
they eat, uh, they eat greens. Oh. Uh, we fed him the outside leaves of lettuce, you know, I'd get lettuce at the store and he'd eat the outside leaves. Oh. And then in the summertime you could put him out and he'd eat outside except you had to keep him away from the garden because he liked to eat the little peas as fa...
and he didn't get him in again. And they searched and searched and searched for him but, uh, uh, it got too cold up there and he, he died in a tree. they found him the next day in a tree, but. Oh, oh my. So you you have to be pretty tender with them, we had a, he had his own heat lamp and, uh, and, uh, hot pad he laid ...
No, he wouldn't lay on it. because that was like what he was used to. so they really are, they really pick up things. He was, he was a clean animal, uh, we, he went to the bathroom in the bathroom. How did he do that? well we put some papers on the floor, underneath the john Okay. and he went there to go to the bathroo...
And in the summertime when he was outside and eating outside the smell was a little bit like a cat, you know. Oh, yeah. But, uh. But that, that's incredible. It's a different little things, Yeah, he is, he was a really interesting animal. Oh, that's, I, I just, uh we just really and you know, to this day I still miss h...
Oh, my goodness, these guys, they, well actually they're my husband's pets. Yeah, Oh, and you just kind of took them, over, huh. Well, well actually it's like he's the cat person you know, and I've, I was always kind of nondescript in that category because I always liked dogs. Uh-huh, uh-huh. And they've kind of taken ...
they are, they are, well they are Siamese cats, Oh, pretty ones. but one is, one is, uh, um, they're both registered, you know, one's a seal point, she's the little girl and then, uh, Newhart is the, uh, the, the, Newhart, he is something. He's like a dog, he really, he just he just wants his belly scratched and that's...
I can't even remember the guy's name. It was a science fiction, Dean Cole, or something like that. And it was so frightening and it had so much violence in it I just could hardly stand it Um. I try to avoid the, Yeah I didn't think it was so great. She thought it was riveting, you know, but, I couldn't deal with that....
and right now I'm reading, um, Judith Viorst's book called NECESSARY LOSSES, where she talks about different losses that we've had in our lives that we have to get past if we're going to mature and so, Uh-huh. in in my spare time with a two and a half and a three and a half year old I, I read That does cut into your, ...
You do? Who, Oh, well how interesting. And so, I, I'm at the What kind of books? Center for Advanced Study of the Behavioral Sciences and therefore, I read, uh, psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science, philosophy, linguistics, history, uh, Um. Oh, my goodness. yeah, and you name it. I've read some of it...
That's true. That's true. Well, you probably, I, I seem to remember that, uh, little byline on a lot of things I've read. Um. Um, is, is, is that, um, do they have a mail kind of campaign that they send to professionals in the, social, No. We, don't. No? Uh, normally we don't publish, uh, things under our own imprint....
Yeah. Oh, that sounds interesting. Yeah. Oh it causes the, uh, uh Saint Anthony's Fire Disease, where, people fell into fits I thought that was going to be Oh. and, There is a, a theory, at least, that a lot of people who were accused of witchcraft were actually under the influence of erga. Oh, my goodness. Huh. And...
That's right. And the, thing that changed that was the manual typewriter. Yeah. It then it became, you see, just sort of a clerical task. Oh. Yeah. When you wrote it out in long hand you were a, Then you were important Yes. You were a confidential assistant to the, person. Yeah. Yeah. Like the scribes who did the old ...
Um. So, it's really quite interesting. I haven't, got too, far into it yet. Gosh. Really. So, are you reading these in the form of just like printed manuscripts, that have not been Uh, those are, all books that are out, uh, published and bound now. But, they're just things, that, , pertain to various things I'm work...
well, he did before we had kids the STAR TREK, and all those kind of sci-fi kinds of, things, you know Uh-huh. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But, he's got a, quite a collection of those. But, uh, my stuff uh, revolves around, uh, one one let's see, I've got one called ONE THOUSAND PRACTICAL PARENTING TIPS, which teaches you to put...
Uh-huh. but, um, I'm trying to think of what else I've got. Uh, since I'm, um, a therapist and all, I've done recently a lot of research into some of the twelve step groups. So, I've got all the different alcoholics, what they call the blue, the blue book, the big book, and all the O A literature and all the CODA liter...
I knew, his literary agent in Houston when she was just, uh, convincing him to write all this down. He was teaching, Oh, he's just great. And now he's had the, the first, the first one and the third one put into a ten session, uh, P B S series. Yeah. I I saw one of those episodes on P B S. Uh, from time to time out ...
Huh. Uh-huh. So that's been another one that I've thought was real helpful. But, other than that, uh, my reading centers on PADDINGTON BEAR, and WINNIE THE POOH, and DOCTOR SEUSS Oh, yes. Oh. But, I really have enjoyed exploring children's literature because there's so much more, uh, new things out that, you know, I...
So, that, that has been fun to do do that you, know, go through the children's literature, and, uh uh, Yeah. I read, THE PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY, uh, which lists all the upcoming books, forthcoming books, and, uh, there are so many that look like they would just be absolutely wonderful. Uh-huh. But I was tickled to see...
Yeah. Yeah. yeah, I guess it's in honor of his hundredth, Okay, well, I I mean, what thoughts do you have on the subject? Uh, you know, we even lived there for a, a while when my husband was in the Navy. Oh, you did? In fact the first year we were married, he was already over there, had been there two years when we got...
Uh-huh. And it was a, a cultural shock to me. Uh, in terms of what I went through. I'm sure. The high school is now called, in fact, it was called Tulley High School and now it's called Roberto Clemente Roberto died while we were down there as a matter of fact. That, yeah, that's exactly, about twenty years now. Yeah....
it's just, if, if it's not part of your culture, and you come upon something that you're totally unprepared for, uh, the Right. Uh-huh. I had gone to a very, uh, uh, um, conservative, uh, college and when I started teaching school it was in an inner city situation, although it was not Puerto Rican, it was, uh, a Mex...
the teacher was from Cypress Greece and, it was, Spanish and English, Huh. so if you can imagine how I even Oh, my. And, I mean, and I guess I look at is as an enlightening sense. Yeah. Um, but I think basically, I think they should leave things the way they are right now, I mean, I don't really have enough in terms o...
Well I know what it looks like, I've been back up for a reunion. That, that my give you a clue. It does, yeah, um, but its', but it's an experience I wouldn't change, I mean my husband, um, grew up in, um, a majority, uh, WASP, southern Ohio, you know. Uh-huh. So that, um, when he saw where I, you know, saw my later te...
really. I, I don't, I don't think it's really to their best interests, to, uh, uh, attain statehood as it is right now, Uh-huh. they have the best of both worlds. They have, uh, representation, Uh-huh. but they don't have to pay all the taxes and so forth that we do. This is true. Uh, being that it's an island economy...
right, I probably would say the something if I knew that intellectually that it was good and emotionally that the people there wanted it. Right. You know, it's just, um, I mean, right now they have the privilege of voting with the United States, don't they. Yeah, yeah. They count, yeah, as a principle, that's what I th...
Part of that though has been, I think, uh, selected by, by them, in that, that whereas they want the benefits of some of, of what the continentals can offer, Uh-huh. they, they want to maintain that, um, culture of theirs, which, which I understand. Uh-huh. Uh, Uh-huh. And, and so often when you, when you bring in t...
I mean to this day are you still in touch with any native Puerto Ricans that you have made friends with, or, No, we really didn't keep that up, it's just, No, that's natural, I just thought I'd ask that because I wondered what you thought they might think. Um. Because I really don't have any, um, personal or profession...
and then there were some children that I noticed as soon as all the kids were out of high school, I mean they went back to Puerto Rico to live. You know, they had made enough money here. And so But on the other hand, I guess it's all about choice in everything. Yeah. Um, was it, I mean how were they toward, that's inte...
I can't think of the term but, you know. I know what you're talking about yeah. And with banners and, and a parade of vehicles with their, with their colors of the, of a particular party. Uh-huh. So they were very, very, um, passionate, about their beliefs Uh-huh. but it, it, it kind of broke down that you couldn't r...
Well I have enjoyed it. I enjoyed talking to you and, uh, thank you for your time. Uh-huh. Okay, bye-bye Bye-bye. Well, I think health care is real important, and dental coverage, but I guess medical insurance is probably what I consider the second most important. Yeah, I agree on that. And, you know, it seems compared...
Yeah, I know. It's, um, I don't know. And then when you interview for a job or something sometimes people, um, expect the benefits to take the place of a certain salary level. Uh-huh. You know, they'll say maybe we'll pay you X amount annually, but then we, you know, ten percent to fifteen percent more are your benefit...
You know that some of the benefits, I would rather have, um, money. Money instead. Yeah, more money, actually, um, Or flex time or something that was a little more personal, you know. Yeah. Right. I feel the same way, actually. Um, we don't use any of T I benefits other than I, I buy bonds and, and, um, that's it beca...
What's the name of that company Bramalea. What do they do? It's a security company and, and building, they own a lot of buildings and lease buildings. Uh-huh. And, Are they a big Company or, Yeah, actually they're from Canada. They're Canada based. Uh-huh, that's, see, that's probably why cause Canada has the, the, um,...
Right, yeah, it's all taken care, Yeah, but our prescriptions and everything, our visits to the doctor, our hospitalization, Sounds wonderful. the only thing we pay for is if if something happened, an emergency, and we had to have an ambulance, it's twenty-five dollars. I mean that's nothing. Yeah, if I were, him, I'd ...
basically, E D S is a little bit better than T I but, Um, and we take my dental, my dental, his medical. Uh-huh. And the medical is just, I mean, I think it's terrible, you know? Uh-huh. twenty, but they're, then they're getting ready to change it again for Aetna. Okay. Um, I don't know. I just don't think companies, ...
Neither one of us do. But then, you know, like a lady in my office said, she said her husband works for T I, too. And she said what about the people that are walking around, and I hope, Uh-huh. Right. Yeah. You know, who's going to croak first? The people that smoke or, you know? Uh-huh. Seems like, an unnecessary pe...
Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Or something. Yeah, it's like, stupid, but, That's why I'm not a boss, I guess I don't know. Yeah. I mean I don't know, um. What other, what other type of benefits do they have that, I mean, Canadian based companies . They have to be a little bit different than the American, um. Yeah, they are as far as...
Yeah. And they're vested after their first year. totally vested. Oh, my goodness. And they have the four one K and the usual benefits like that, uh. Uh-huh. That's kind of nice. Yeah, T I has that, but that's a pretty standard thing anymore. Right, right. You know, um, um, your husband's company probably matches more t...
Uh-huh. Yeah, I know, um, E D S has eight years? I think E D S has seven to, to eight years. Uh-huh. So it's like T I in that respect, you know? Yeah. And, and, I mean, and I'm working for a company that's making money Yeah. You know, E D S has a cash flow problem as they say but, um, not E D S, T I, um, Yeah. Uh-huh...
And then, um, for most people I know it would be day care like T I has, no day care. Right. Yeah, that, and I know that's a big issue because I, I belong to a women's forum group. Uh-huh. And some of the questions we're getting are, are on site day care and things like that. Uh-huh. That they consider a very serious b...
Right. But it, I don't think it, that it's developed as much as it could be for the size company as T I. Right. I mean if you ever walked into E D S health, corner court health clubs on site and you walk into Spring Creek, well, Spring Creek's better than the one on Dallas Parkway Uh-huh. but, I mean, yeah. Yeah, a l...
Oh, I see. And T I doesn't have anything like that. Right. You know, so I guess I, I wish the companies like T I and a lot of others were more progressive in that respect Yeah. so, That's good. That's a, that's a fortunate benefit, you know, that they're so active for their employees. Yeah. Yeah, and there's, I mean th...
Yeah. Me, too. Me, too, because, you know, with utilities and, and homes that are, uh, price of homes have went up drastically. Like an average house is now a hundred and thirty thousand. exactly. And that is unreal, because we've got people out here that are just poverty level. I know. But then we've got these millio...
And I said, hey, I'll probably do this even if I'm a millionaire which I won't, ever be. Yeah Yeah But, I mean, it's like, because you just can't, I mean, it seems like every time you try to get ahead and take a vacation or something well, the car insurance is due Uh-huh. That's true. That is exactly where we are. I m...
really. I didn't say that on this line. I don't know. What else about corporate benefits? I can't think. It's probably been too hot today for either of us to, Uh-huh. Um, kind of nice to talk to somebody in Dallas. Usually people are all over the country. Right, yeah, and I think Dallas, as far as, um, economic uncerta...
Uh-huh. When you see people that don't have, um, anything but H M O or, you know, I mean really can't even afford to get in a job that costs, like, we had a guy fixing our air conditioner. And he said he didn't even make ten dollars an hour, and he has three kids. And I went, oh, you know, that has to be rough. Uh-huh....
At least they're making the effort to put it out there and make it available and and, cultural change within the management first. Uh-huh. And now it's kind of filtering down to the peon level. But, uh, I think they're really trying. Uh-huh. It's going to take years, though. Yeah. I mean it's just, it's that mind-set, ...
and, and you can't really argue with them because they've always been successful so, You know, what can you tell them Right. Yeah. Really. Yeah. Well, I guess that's what I know about benefits. Okay. Yeah, Okay me, too. good talking to you. Good talking to you and keep cool. Thanks. Okay. Bye-Bye. Okay. Bye-Bye. Uh, I ...
And, uh, I don't know exactly how we're going to cover many of these people, because I'm sure that some of them don't, uh, don't have the wherewithal to do it themselves, so, uh, I, I have a feeling, since I have just about as good a health care coverage that anybody can get, that this, uh, then becomes an obligation o...
I don't know Well well, who, who else is going to do this, then? Do they wind up with more red tape, and more problems then? Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's worked successfully in Europe. Uh-huh. I've heard all these stories about, I travel extensively and spend, uh, maybe half a year in Europe every year, Oh. and I find th...
or, and it just extends with if it, what would be a minor problem to deal with if they had a help available early on becomes just this horrendous, you know, burden on the taxpayers. They're saying now that one out of every ten child born in public hospitals is addicted to crack. Well I, uh, uh, I know it. Well, you kn...
The young people aren't getting the proper care that they need, and nutrition, I think, Yeah, yeah. and we're spending on these useless, many times useless and inordinately complex unnecessary tests in hospitals for older people. Oh, it's unbelievable how much you go through. When I just had a problem with my neck and ...
at least I've blown off steam of the way I feel about it. Okay, well Okay? Okay, thank you. Bye-bye See you next time. Bye. Well, I know that, uh, I have only like two or three favorite television shows. Uh-huh. I think one of my favorite then is from the guy Stephen, is it Brochco, who does like L A LAW Oh, yeah. Uh-h...
we really enjoy that too. Uh-huh. Uh, I don't get a lot, to watch a whole lot of T V. We have a couple of young children, and so we're usually outside, Uh-huh. and so it's usually the nine o'clock shows that if we get them in bed, we usually watch that, and L A LAW is one of my favorites. Oh, yeah, me, too. I know, the...
Uh-huh. It's kind of nice to know that they're just going to be seeing, you know, not a lot of violence and that kind of stuff Right. and they usually, uh, show a lot of things that really teach them different things about the world. So. Uh-huh, uh-huh. My older son, he's going to be five, and he's more into watching t...
Oh, yeah. and, um, I think it was on, I have to remember which channel, but anyway, uh, we were watching that and it was talking about opera, and they showed like what they thought an opera would be, and one of the things was to kill the rabbit, kill the rabbit Oh. and I thought, Oh, how violent, you know, to kill the ...
but like, No, and to get them to feel like that that's just pretend, I think is the hardest part, you know. Yeah, Yeah. A cat has nine lives Yeah. but they don't, they just have one like we do Oh, so that's really funny but, uh we've gotten, uh-huh, go ahead. I was just going to say, I know that, at least before our ki...
that's true, that's a good show. I used to watch, uh, DALLAS. We're, we're in Dallas. yeah. I used to watch DALLAS, years ago. And somewhere in the middle I got, uh, bored, and, uh, so I, in fact, I didn't even watch the finale. Uh, you know, that's about how disinterested I had become. Yes. Well, I did watch it just t...
Yep, I know, I know. Was it actually based on a book? Well, no, I imagine, Oh, but you were just talking about, okay, okay, Everything you could think of, you know had a hard time, Yeah, right. and I think maybe with DALLAS, as far as, they lost a lot of characters that had been around at the first. That's true, that's...
Uh-huh, uh-huh. You know, and if you notice on DALLAS, they lost all the women. Yeah. Yes. So the men mainly stayed but the women were the ones who left, and I thought that was very interesting and wondered, kind of wondered about that. Uh, well, anyway that's a whole new issue Yeah Oh. Oh, goodness so. Anyway. I don't...
Where you can lock up, the channel or whatever? Yeah. Yeah, uh-huh. So, I, I have that at home, and I keep the keys with me. Yeah. And that's about the only way that I can, that I can do it. Because their natural curiosity, you know, to go towards that way and want Yeah. yeah. And I don't know the way the generations a...
That's true, well, and here lately it hasn't been that cool anyway with the humidity being so high. Well, true, Well, it was nice talking to you. Well, it was nice talking to you, too. Okay, talk with you later. Okay. Good-bye. Good-bye. Okay. Um, does, is this something that concerns you? or Well, I think it does, um,...
well, I live outside of Dallas and it's kind of in a little suburb. So, I feel pretty safe out here but I know the murder rate is going up every year in Dallas Yeah, I, uh. and that worries me.
