I’m just stunned by the whole system. Hubby’s urologist took his office out of Maine and practices only in NH now. Previously he had affiiations with offices in three towns in Maine. Now, if hubby needs to be hospitalized for his cancer, he needs to change either his Dr or his hospital.

We are hearing reports of $3,000 and up for dentures. Hubby says that at 81, he doesn’t see how he can justify putting $5,000 in his mouth, but I say he can’t afford not to as chewing problems are affecting his health.

If it was drastically less expensive elsewhere, it would make sense to take a vacation and visit the less expensive area.

That's about the size of it. I sprung for the not so Hollywood Bright type, I think they look vain... still set me back $2300! That was ten years back.

As I went out to let the chickens out this morning, and came back via the garden, I picked a few yellow squash and a some zucchini - Just had to try making the chips...

They were finished about 6:30 tonight - By 6:45 they were all gone! 10 trays worth. Salsa and a jalapeño cheese dip - We won’t have a surplus of squash again! Set my mandolin cutter about a 16th of an inch and took them out of the dehydrator when they were turning a nice light tan color and were fully crisp... Fantastic. No more potato chips... Christi ran out and brought more in, and they are drying now (says she wants them for breakfast). So, don’t suppose squash chips and a homemade salsa of tomato, pepper, onion and celery could be bad for you at breakfast, so I am going to let her have it.
