Interesting People
come into the store. We had a lady who is originally from China, and was a biology prof there. Her husband has his PHD in some kind of science. When they got to Canada their education was not recognized, so found it hard to get a jobs in their fields. She went back to school, and got into IT and now has been working for HP for 20 years. He got a post doc at U of A, but unable to get a tenure job. He self taught himself how to create a website, to help support the dept he was with, and that ended up getting him a IT job. Their daughter went to school here and got her business degree and CA, after two years hated being a CA, and went back to school to be a fashion designer in New York. She has a day job working for an established company and has started her own line in her spare time. I like hearing stories about people's lives.
Nice news about a new cousin in Vancouver. I am sure that Neil and Marilyn and of course Geoff and Genny are pretty darn happy.
Also happy to hear that Tim and Court are having another boy.
Uncle George went to see the specialist on Wednesday regarding the blockages and risk of strokes. Dr said blockage only about 50% which was good news, so no surgery needed. Haley got her doctorate, so now is looking for a post doc somewhere.
New Del story (Kay's Del not Anne's), she has a new boyfriend and decided that he needed some work done, so talked him into getting a facelift, he is in his eighties. I guess she thought since she looks so young (you know no one has ever taken for for more than 52 years old), an older looking boyfriend would not do. Though she could have told people that he was her sugar daddy.

Aren't you glad you ave a job where you can see people? That's part of why I like mine.
Man, the opposite reason is why I like mine.
LOVE the Del story. I'm surprised anyone would give him anesthesia at age 80!
why on earth someone 80 years old would want plastic surgery is beyond me.
actually plastic surgery, to change how old you look always seems ridiculous to me.
As Mom says, aging is better than the alternative
the people I see in my job are the best!
Its sort of sad that Del has nothing better to do or think of - she is the same age as me and I cant imagine wanting a bf let alone one with a face lift. but then I have lots of family to keep me interested in life. Glad to hear George does not need surgery. another tough old bird with lots of interests.
