And you can help us time 2-minute eggs!”

“Hi Nowslimmer, I missed all this business while off on vacation. So glad your surgery went well. I hope this helps you feel better and you get to continue your travels.”

“Nowslimmer, glad you're 'wired' for performance now......perhaps you can get a jack to plug your iPod into so your can really rock out.....say, perhaps there's an auto store you can get one of them new-fangled 'chips' at that will give you performance/endurance settings.......”

“Greetings from Valley Hospital in Las Vegas. Having a wonderful vacation. Wish you were here.”

“We're on the way home. Tango is still as beautiful as she was dancing on cocktail tables back in Orlando, as well as on the Florida Trail. She fixed us up with a new, 2-room cabin. She has a real nice place here and has been taking real good care of us. We expect to be back in Florida in a few days.”

“Safe travels Nowslimmer!”

“Don't let him fool you he was kickin' up his heels when he was here in AZ!!

When are you deadbeats coming to visit??”

“Hi- This is Paul's daughter again. We're back in FL, returned to the hospital because he was feeling shortness of breath and dizziness. They found two blood clots and he is receiving treatment for them right now, an IV with blood thinning medication.

He is in good spirits and says to tell you his black book is almost full with nurses' telephone numbers.”

“Good to know even under adversity he still his priorities straight.”

“I am in intensive care. They told me that the situation is serious.

Last night it took me about four hours to get a turkey sandwich from the nurse. By that time we knew that I was headed for intensive care. So I told her I understood people were better fed there. The sandwich plus appeared in less than five minotes.

"Chow!"

“I'm out of intnsive care.

They found a large blood clot near the top of one leg. It probably broke off the two clots that went to the top of my lungs. Another specialist was added to the case. For now they plan to continue trying to dissolve the clots.

Several groups of my Chines Relatives came to visit me yesterday.”

“Yikes, those blood clots are bad news!”

“Wooo Hoooo!!!....you take care of yourself NS!!!!!!....Lee says hello and for you to get better soon!!!!!!!you should get plenty of exercise in the hospital.....chasing nurses!!!!!
hugs!!!!!”

“I was sprung this morning from the hospital to my daughter's place! I was only in intensive care for one day. The rest of the days I was being tormented by an old man, my roommate, whose mind was long gone. He kept me awake each night by trying to break away. He managed to get out of his bed once and promptly fell on the floor. He had no idea where he was!

The doctors decided to treat my blood clots with chemicals. Melbourne now has an outstanding Heart Treatment Section. It's currently Number 1 in Florida and they are claiming to be No. 1 in the country. So it appears that I am in good hands.”

“I thought maybe you had a sexy nurse taking care of you. ;-)

Good to here you're out of the hospital.”

“Yippie!!!

Glad you are back to the civilized world...and TT!”

“Nowslimmer glad to here your back up and running!”

Thanks. Yes, I did: Nurse Ninja!”

“Hey NS Hope all is well now. It all works out! Yo bear!”

“did I read somewhere that whilst in his travels, NS wears no underpants?”

“I think it was something you dreamed about, ENS.”

“Thanks, Nimblefoot. I didn't want to point out to him that aikijitsu techniques work against all sizes. Besides, he was just joking.”

“He was? Really?”
