Uh-huh. Well, having been there not too long ago, and my wife having only recently completed a doctorate, I'm fairly full of it, of it myself. Um. Uh, the main point that I have about choosing where you want to go to school, is that, you have to early on define what it is you want to do or at least what area you want t...
Yeah. Uh, being an engineer now, I believe in it even more strongly than I did before. Uh-huh. I was just on a committee recently, actually sponsored by, uh, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, trying to sort of, you know, where, where they were just trying to figure out how to fit science and libe...
But I see him very rapidly becoming the engineering personality, and, uh, if he decides to pursue that, I'm going to insist that he spend two years at a liberal arts college, before I'll even let him go to an engineering college. Um. And, yes, that'll add one year to his education experience. Yeah, but, but that's a go...
Uh, I have the experience, uh, the last school that I went to was Mississippi State University which is historically an engineering and agricultural school. Uh-huh. Right. Uh, the typical land grant university, every state's got one. Uh-huh. Anyway, while it has both engineering and liberal arts, the engineering studen...
Uh-huh. Or yeah, or, or, or, or some other thought provoking area, you know. Very true. We had, uh, when I went to undergraduate, we had uh, went to Brandeis, don't know if you know of it or not, uh, we had, uh, uh, a requirement freshman year of just Humanities. Then you were given a choice of, um, you know, there wer...
But I believe that, that, that you, one of the, one of the best things to do, at least for me in school was, was, I was sort of forced to take lots of different kinds of courses. Um, I was forced to take, I think you know, some sort of art history course, and we all grumbled about it at first, but then, afterward, we a...
Yes, I, I graduated, um, college in eighty-seven, and I just went straight through. Um, I'm finishing up next year. So, yeah, I didn't take any break or anything yet. I've been trying actually, in graduate school, I've been trying to do the same thing, take courses, completely outside my area, and I'm finding in gradua...
Uh-huh. Uh, six years, and a, and a war later, uh, I got a degree, an undergraduate degree. And then fifteen years after that, I got the first of a set of master's degrees and four years after that I got another master's degree. Um. You had real world experience in the middle there. Oh, yes. And that helped, you think?...
I never would have had any, I've, I've learned much just sort of by watching her and her, and her business as well. So yeah, so I, I can, I can see where that might be a, Well, vicarious learning is a wonderful thing. Yeah It certainly means that we don't have to experience everything, but experience is a wonderful, te...
Okay. Well, I take it since you selected this topic that you have children. No, I don't, You don't? but I have nine younger brothers and sisters. My goodness. So. Well, I have two daughters and, um, they're past this, they've been latchkey children for a while, and they're almost where I can start saying they're, you k...
Yes, I would think someone older and I would want to know if they've had any past experience with children. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. And I think that varies. I think a lot of your criteria vary with the age of your child. Yes, that's true also. Um, you know, it's, it's, once they get to a certain age it's almost more important ...
The only other thing they asked me is what I would expect in pay. Oh, uh-huh, uh-huh. You know, and, um, I was pretty surprised because if I had a child and someone, you know, I would want to know, I personally would ask for people that that person has baby-sit for before. Well, I, my experience, I baby-sat a lot also ...
and that was it. And, um, she knew that I was one of the oldest girls in my family so she just asked my mom if I could baby-sit. Uh-huh, uh-huh. You know, she really didn't know my name or anything, you know, I thought that was pretty strange. You know, and she had two children. One was still in diapers when I started ...
Uh-huh. So she was going on those two instincts. Just the same I know myself, I never, and I was very very protective on who baby-sat my children. Oh, I would be too And, and in it really shocked me because just about six months ago someone came to my front door, rang the doorbell. She had just moved in the neighborhoo...
Oh, I know. Um, well, I I, obviously you've never had to look for a day care or anything. Well, I did, I did have, um, my, my child, uh, in a day care for just a short time when my oldest was about two and a half Uh-huh. and I worked just a part-time job and, uh, in, in those situations, um, what I did is I'd, I went i...
Did you just look it up in a phone book or what was it? Um, I think lots of people, I, I think I went by location for one thing. Uh-huh. I think most people do that. I think you start out with the criteria of, you know, do I know of anything or do I know anyone who has their child in a day care and, Yeah, there is , I ...
Then again, did, um, money come into play with it at all? Oh, money is always a factor in my life, definitely. I've never, you know, I've never had the luxury of not having that be a factor. Um, even in something as important as day care. I know if I didn't have that stipulation, I would have done things differently yo...
Really? Yeah. Do you work for Texas Instruments? My husband does. Uh-huh. Yeah. Probably most people you talk to do, huh? Most of them do. Now, I don't have anybody that works for T I, but, uh my son works for a computer company, the National Institute of something, Huh. I don't know what I see, well that's neat. So, I...
You ready? Yeah. Okay. Uh, foods like you would for a dinner party or something like that. Yeah, I guess so, it may be interesting, because probably here in Texas, we may eat a little differently than you do up there Well, I don't know, my brother lives down East of us down there, and I don't think they ate all that mu...
and up there, of course they ate a lot of sea food, and that kind of thing, Oh, uh-huh. and down here, sea food is pretty expensive, because, you have to ship it a long way to get it Right. Yeah, and it's not as good as if it's fresh. Right, and, and, uh, and, but here, we eat a lot of like Mexican foods, Uh-huh. and, ...
Like chicken fried steak, is a real big thing. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Up there, uh, it was hardly ever heard of and, we drink ice tea with every meal, Uh-huh. Uh-huh. and up there hardly anyone drank ice tea Yeah, well they do in the summertime, I think that tea is big in the summertime mostly. Really? Yeah. Of course, you ha...
Yeah, but when, when we have a dinner party around here, I think a lot of the time a Mexican menu is something real popular. Is that right? Yeah. I know that, um, I do a lot of planning with our church, Uh-huh. and a lot of the times when we get together, well everybody will bring a Mexican dish or. And Italian food is...
Yeah, we, we really, uh, use most anything. I, uh, I think like parties and that though are, well, like we had a dinner party here, here not too long ago with a mystery dinner party Oh. But, basically, we tried, you know, included all the basic, uh, foods that you are supposed to have in a meal . Uh-huh. Your, uh, brea...
Uh-huh, right. Oh, yes. I, I love that kind of cooking. My, uh, unfortunately, I am married to a man and have two children that eat about four things Is he a meat and potato person? Right. They. Well, all our family is, is gone. They are out on their own. Uh-huh. And, uh. It, it's much different That probably makes it ...
Well, my husband didn't like that, so we, us kids, we had five children and we ate that when he, he wasn't going to be home for supper, Right. that's what we had Yeah, well, that's pretty much what we do, if dad's not coming home, we have macaroni and cheese, or something. Uh-huh. But, they like, uh, spaghetti. Uh-huh....
Yeah. and, uh, they are real easy to cook and, that way, whatever meat we have, if they don't like it, well, Yeah. and my girls don't like beef, I, don't know, Oh really. Well maybe. that's good the way, way the things are going. I guess, Well, yeah, it could be, they don't, I think it's the texture of it, Uh-huh. but ...
So they're not too much into beef. Uh-huh. My husband and I eat more beef than we should, but at least we keep our chicken nuggets handy for them Right. We don't really have, uh, you know, entertain too much. Uh-huh. I don't know if you do or not, but we, we don't a whole lot, we're more, once in a while, but mostly fa...
and, my husband and I do a lot of the planning in that. Yeah. And, Well that's good. Yeah, it is and it's fun to, uh, I like just having a pot luck meal where everyone brings their favorite dish. Yeah, we do a lot of that take , things to church Yeah. and our homemakers meet at the church also, and, uh, that's what we ...
Sometimes you have all desserts, sometimes, you have all vegetables Yeah Yeah, that's true, that's the only problem with just letting you bring whatever, you, uh, like best. Yeah. But, it doesn't happen very often, usually you get a pretty wide variety and you can, you can , have pretty good meals, from one of those. U...
I can't remember what food it was I, it might have been the main dish that hardly anyone showed up with. Several people were supposed to bring, you know, each, like, uh, a, an appetizer, and a main dish and a dessert. Uh, uh-huh. Uh-huh. And we had tons of desserts and tons of appetizers and, but when we came to the ma...
Right. Either, either go ahead and fix your dish or call someone that can. Right. Right. I know it. Well, that sounds neat, I can't, uh, believe you're so far away, but you sound so close. They said that we could share, we share, a recipe It sounds like you're here in Dallas. but, I'm up at my daughter's, I don't even ...
Cara, hold on just a second another person in the As a matter of fact, my, little one is hollering They are ready to go. Well, we probably, have we talked long enough I, I think it probably has been. Okay, so I'll let, So, I've enjoyed talking to you. Oh, same here. You have a good day. Thank you. Thanks for calling. U...
Five. Oh, lord. That is an army, I came from a family of six, and I have only got two, and they are, one ... Well any number is nice, let me tell you. Well, I kind of decided that single, single children that, that, that's not parenting, that's a hobby. Yeah. But, It's not as fair to the children either, I do not think...
Uh-huh. And when I take care of some people's kids, you know, Uh-huh. when they, when they have teachers' holidays, and that kind of stuff, I will take my friends' kids, that are usually in day care, Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. and you can spot them, because they have no idea how to hang out and mess around. You can tell. ...
Yeah. Well, that's great. You, did all five of yours complete college? No, our last daughter, she did not want to go to school. She's, uh, but she's married now, they built a home just a couple miles from us. And, Well, how did you go about selecting a college, then? Well, we did not do it right all the time With our f...
Uh-huh. And he only went a few months and then transferred to Pittsburgh. He went to aeronautical, uh, oh, just learning to work on engines and that. Uh-huh. Uh, it has to do with airplanes and everything, which is what his whole life is And I really wish we would have let him go where he wanted to go originally. And h...
Uh-huh. And our other two boys, they went to Clarion also. And, uh, did very well there. And they have all really got, uh, they have all really got really good jobs. And, uh, When they were, like in junior high and high school, I mean, had they, did they have an idea that they were definitely going to go to college and...
Uh-huh. Like my kids, they are all making more than my husband was making when he retired from the state. You know, that boggles, my mind. Yeah, I was, I was making more than, I was making three times what my father was making, as an executive in the insurance industry, when he retired. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Okay, did you ...
I am not going to say I resent it, Uh-huh. but I was, well you know, one of the national merit scholarship qualifying and, you know, one of the Rhodes Scholars kids, and the whole bit, uh, Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. my parents did not even discuss with me going to college out of state, or anyplace else, Some place else. a...
Uh-huh. Different life styles, yes, yes. And I think it was probably one of the best things that ever happened to me. Uh-huh. Now my kids, I keep saying that, uh, you know, I would like them to go to the best school that they possibly could. Uh-huh. And I do not know, you know, what the realities, you know, is going to...
You should not. Yeah, not really. Because, they say that a lot of times you get more help, with a more expensive college. Uh-huh. Oh, yeah. And so, in the long run, if it's really what they want, you know, they are better off. Now our children all pretty much borrowed for their school. Uh-huh. Uh, we, we did all we cou...
Uh-huh. and you mix it with one tablespoon onion juice and one tablespoon lemon juice, one tablespoon worcester sauce and mix it and spread it out onto a plate. And, One tablespoon of worcester? Uh-huh. Okay. And then you take and, uh, cover that with drained crab meat mixed with one of the small bottles of chili sauce...
Okay, this would make a lot, right? Yeah, it would probably make, well, it doesn't make quite as much as you think, but, yeah, spread it out because you keep the cream cheese kind of thin. And how much crab meat did you use? One tin. Of the flake. One, One can of flake. Uh-huh. And drain it real good. Uh-huh. Oh, okay....
There's like a little tidbit with the sauce to dip it into and stuff. Ooh, that sounds, I've tried it and then I have it here on hand for about a week and then all of a sudden it dawned on me, wait, is this totally imitation and then I found out, I went back to the store and they said it is a fish product. Uh-huh, uh-h...
Oh, that's a good idea. Yeah. Whose was that? It, uh, was, uh, Lawry's, I believe, or Lawler's. And I got it, do you have a Sam's Wholesale Warehouse up there? It's real, Uh, Sam's, right, right. Yeah, okay, that's where I picked it up. It comes out of Chicago and they're very good cheesecakes. Oh. Oh, that sounds good...
Yes, yes. Okay, I, I've, And they have, and they have the little papers between them. Right. Oh, hey, that sounds, And I think they're, what, about nine dollars and something. Right. And it's something good to have on hand, too. It's frozen in the first place, right? Yes. Yes. Yes. So, you can, uh, it is frozen, isn't ...
and then you can re freeze it. And, Hey, that sounds great. Uh-huh. That It was, they're very good, very good. And that's the one thing that I hate to make is desserts. Oh, do you? And that's my favorite. Is it? And I really don't care for desserts that well other than one piece of it. Oh, I love to eat it, but I don't...
It's trying to think, and then we just, uh, built a new home and I have one of these kitchens that's the center of the house Uh-huh. and so no matter where they're at, your company can see you cooking. Which is funny. That's right. And your mess This, well, this is what everyone has said. They said it's okay for you be...
You know. And you know the funny thing is, now that I have a large kitchen with a big island and that, I still have people trying to come, you know, they'll come in the kitchen and I said, out, we have the chairs on the other side of the counter for guests. Correct You're not allowed to trespass into my kitchen Sounds,...
And so basically at this point I'm, I'm a real walker. I am, too. Are you? Yes. I don't do that, oh, I guess I'll call it that fancy type walking where they kind of move their hips, you know, and keep their arms up. Uh-huh. I don't do that. I mostly just take a, a walk around the block or with my baby or, you know, and...
and he lost sixty-two pounds and I lost twenty-one. Oh, my goodness. So we've decided to maintain our weight, that we will do this exercise walking program and we walk our dog every night and go up around the elementary school. Uh-huh. We have a little path that we do. And, uh, except if it's raining or real cold which...
let's go Right that's right. I know my kids are into sports and a lot of times, tonight we won't finish with the football game till around nine thirty so we will just go out after that. Uh-huh. So, my kids, luckily, are old enough I can leave them at home alone while I go out and walk. Yeah. Now, does your husband usua...
He had arthritis in his hips and his doctor said he needed to lose weight and exercise. I think that is so wonderful. So once he got motivated, now he's ready to walk every night. And our dog has lost a little weight. He walks every night, too So, he gets excited when he sees us put on our, our shoes, our walking shoes...
I know, I do, too. Uh, I know most of, enough of the people that if anything ever happened I could go to a home around this block area. Right. So it, it's not real dangerous, but still, I don't like to go alone. No. So I never do either. Even if I have my dog with me. Yeah. You know, it's nice to have another person th...
Uh, I found real quick that wasn't for me. Me, too. I did the dance step when I lived up in Michigan Uh-huh and it just wore me out. I would leave totally exhausted. I never lost any weight, and I got to the point I dreaded going in. Yeah, yeah. So walking seems to be a good solution for me and it doesn't cost anything...
Uh-huh. Yeah, need something and, Yep. They can wait until you get back home. Yep. Well, I think that's great Well, that's what I do for Yep, that's all I do, too. Okay. Okay. Okay, how's the weather been in Plano? Basically about the same as what you've probably had. Yeah, this is probably unusual topic to give two of...
but I was really enjoying the cool snap last couple of weeks, and I'm ready for it to come back. Oh, you like the rain, do you? Well, not the rain so much as the cool, the other mornings when it was like sixty-five when we woke up and sixty-six, and today I know when I got up that the temperature said more like, close,...
Yeah, and I'm from Utah, so, I, I like, the four seasons Oh, you're used to that, too. I just don't like the cold. You don't like the cold. Well, I usually like it about sweater weather, and the problem here in Plano is it doesn't last very long. Uh-huh. It goes from hot, and then you get a couple of weeks of that Indi...
Well, we have several children that are in sports, and so it always makes their games be postponed forever and ever and ever on, on, and on. Oh, yeah. Well, sure it does. That kind of schedule, you really need a lot more sunshine. I like it better, I think. And also the evenings are going to be getting, uh, darker soon...
but then this summer we went to Orlando for a week, and it was so humid there that your, um, all your windows were were wet every morning. They had to get the squeejies and clean them off. Oh, really. And when we got back to Dallas it seemed really dry because it's kind of like what you're used to. But I agree with you...
I think so too. I know our grass needs mowing twice as often when it rains Uh-huh. Yeah. but it seems like here, I would like it to rain and then be over, and then not rain for a while. It seems like when it gets stuck in a rain pattern, that's all it does. Yeah, yeah. So, uh, but I, I am ready for a little bit of the ...
Yeah. and you can give me eighties Yeah, keep it there and I'm okay. But when it gets too hot, then it's, that, I don't like that Yeah. I stay in the house because it's just, It's just too hot. Well, I do, too, I do, too and that was one thing about the year around school that originally we had been sort of negative on...
I think a lot of people agree the same. It just really gets way, when it gets way too hot Uh-huh, uh-huh. and we've been here for several years, and we've been here years when it's been hundreds and, Uh-huh, now there have been worse summers. In fact this morning when they were talking about, uh, Harold Taft, they were...
He, he always did such a good job, I thought. Oh, yeah, he did, he did. It was it was really a shame. A good weather man, He didn't go with all the gimmicks that some of them did. Yeah. Anyway, um, I guess it's, It's kind of hard to keep on about the weather for five minutes That's okay, they say when you're done you'r...
And I hope you enjoy the weather this week. You too. What is it about, nursing homes? well, about nursing homes, and, and older people. Yeah. Uh, my husband has a grandmother that lives with his mother Uh-huh. and they're just really close here. And his mother has bad health too and so I go over sometimes in the day wh...
Right. Um, and so you just have to try and be patient and answer them again or just answer another question. Yeah. Uh, I, uh, some nights his mother calls me and says can your family, and just bring the kids in the family and just come over and, and visit grandma because she gets very disoriented. Yeah, how old is she?...
They're in Missouri and I could, I, I know, I know stories for sure that they just, they, they just, well, they can't take the proper care of them. Most of them. Yeah. Um, And, uh, it's, it's tragic that, you know, when people live so long that they, uh, don't have a really don't have a place to go. Yes. So, Uh, I thin...
Yeah. I would imagine that I'll, uh, if something happens, I'll move one of them or you know, in, in with me. Uh-huh. So, uh, Yeah. But I know a lot of people have said that and then find out how tough it is and, but I think you'd have to really, they also wanted us to talk about you'd have to really check on the, uh o...
You know, um, I, I think nursing homes are, are, um, some are good Uh-huh. I have to say that. Right. But for the most part I truly believe that the parents would be better if they were with the children. Oh, I do too. Um, Or if, if they could be real, real nearby where they could see them everyday or so. Right, right....
Oh. Right, that would be devastating I'm sure so. And, uh, and yet if you didn't feel like you could be a good caretaker I don't, uh, it's a very, very hard decision I think. It is a tough decision and it's one that needs a great deal of thought, and prior probably. Uh-huh. I think that's right, Yeah. and especially if...
I would hope we could do that, and then go from there. Yeah. Yeah. Well, anyway, Well, I, I think we kind of are along the same lines. We've covered a little bit and, uh, it's good to hear from you and, Good to hear from you. Have a good, Have a lovely day. Have a good Okay. Have you faced, uh, elderly care yet, uh, nu...
And, uh, we had a review today and a few things we had to do that are part of it that you don't really like, like, uh making decisions on living wills and extended care, that type of thing, Yes. so, yes, I'm very familiar with it and it's not something that is, uh, you know, I never thought I'd have to go through this ...
Uh, we've, you know, we've looked around and, my wife has looked at, extensively at all the ones in the area And the one she is in now, uh, there's a lot of drawbacks, a lot of things we don't like. But, again, it's no different than every one. And, you know, the cost of it, the, three thousand dollars a month Um, uh-h...
Uh-huh. and they knew. And if I'd pop in unexpectedly, I discovered, you know, they did a little bit, they did better. Oh, really? You know, uh-huh. And, you know, a couple of times with my mother-in-law, I would catch something not being taken care of. And, you know, would have to rate, Uh-huh. so I got to where, I kn...
Yeah, you, you know, this is the whole point. You've got, you've got to shop them. Yes, you do. I know my mother's in now, in a unit that's mainly Alzheimer's Uh-huh. and, uh, we're convinced that she probably would be better off in a geriatric. Uh-huh. Uh, the fact that these people are they're up and around, but they...
I, I mean she does not know us anymore Uh-huh. and whether it's Alzheimer's or what it is nobody really knows, Uh-huh. but it's, basically the same. And her health is not that bad. Although she has gone down, downhill drastically since this, this last, well, she had been in a retirement community and somewhere in the b...
as far as she knew, she was going to a hospital. And that she could, she could handle a hospital Uh-huh. and we says, you know, mom, if you, you know, if you get a, you get better, you've got to have the care, the doctor insisted on it, you know, if you get better that you could come out. Okay, what kind of car are you...
Oh, yeah But I think I'll be driving mine about two or three more years anyway. Oh, yes, oh, yes. But, uh. Well, the cost of new cars recently are extremely outrageous for the Right, they are. I sure do like the looks of that new Mitsubishi Diamante. Oh, yes, oh, yes. That is a pretty car. I'm, uh, I really like the lo...
The last one I bought, I bought a, uh, well, it's a, it's a Town Car, but it was a demo, returned Uh-huh. and I got it with like, you know, I think it was like fourteen thousand miles on it and nearly ten thousand dollars less than what the list price was. Right. Well, you can't go wrong with that kind of opportunity. ...
No, do you, But I have loved this car better than anything I've ever driven, because you can go on the road and get there and you're not even tired. Very comfortable, smooth ride, huh. And it gets like twenty-six miles to the gallon on the road. Oh, it does? It sure does. That's, that's unbelievable for that size of ca...
Well, that's kind of what we've always been told, you know, they'll do, and then we hope for it, and it never happens Uh-huh. but it really, it does get good gas mileage. Well, that's excellent. Most of the time when I don't go anywhere I can drive it for like three weeks from to and from work, you know, and then fill ...
and we couldn't get the light to turn off. Um. And we kept trying, you know, and we went out to dinner with some friends, and it stayed on all night, you know just shining right down on them, you know Oh dear. Oh dear and we couldn't get it to turn off, and the next day my husband goes out there and he tries to get it ...
So they took it in and charged us the twenty-five dollars, and they called and told us though, that all you have to do is turn the off switch, and they showed us where the switch was. They charged you twenty-five dollars just to tell you that, huh. They, they thought there was really something wrong with it when he tol...
Yes. And, uh, it's been in two, maybe three times. But it's just been real minor things. Well, I think that, uh, you have an excellent deal then, and the, the company is able probably to offer that kind of warranty on the car because they know it's so well built that they don't expect any kind of major repairs whereas ...
Yes. and, uh, I am not real well informed on exactly what Richardson does. Uh-huh. I know that we, uh, they ask us to bundle our newspapers, and we do that, and we recycle our aluminum pop cans and stuff. I see. But now Plano has quite an elaborate system, don't they? Yeah, they do. Uh, it started out several years ago...
and the yard waste has to be put in a special bag that's a decomposable paper sack Uh-huh. it's a pretty good size. It's maybe the size of two or three, um, grocery bags. Oh. And we put that out by the street, and they collect those on Monday. And then on Wednesday, we put out two containers that they gave us. One cont...
Oh, that's a neat system. Yeah it is. And apparently it's, you know, it, it went off pretty much without a hitch. The trucks, the special five door trucks were a little tough in getting because of something to do with the Persian Gulf war Oh, uh-huh. that the trucks were being, the engines or something were being shipp...
Yeah. Because I wonder if that means that if you don't do it Uh-huh. do you suppose they will come and knock on your door and, I, I don't know, but I think that's a really interesting question. That, that is interesting. You know, will you be penalized if you don't. Will you, uh. Yeah, that, that seems farfetched only ...
This is just their aluminum cans. Yeah. Well, then yes, so they have, that's interesting. I wonder, uh, uh, Yeah, what they're doing with that. Wouldn't you really like to know? I would. Someday I'm sure we'll find out. I'm sure you know, if nothing else call the sanitation department say, okay, what are you doing read...
