Jan, I'm just hoping you'll share it with me!!   

Besides, I'm terrible at math - I figure I'll need a business partner who can add.

Lori

It's a deal, but I'm still trying to decide if we should pin our hopes on David becoming even more famous than he already is, if we should market all your great BAHA ideas, or if we should go with your husband and his garage-surgery business.  So little time, so many choices!

Jan

Well, I just finished cleaning out my garage, so we could probably start booking appointments for surgery any time!  That should hold us over until David gets his Oscar nomination or we get enough orders for BAHA cake boxes - whichever comes first.  We'll need to save up some money for that trip to Chicago next year.  Well, not much of a trip for you, but you'll want to eat once you're downtown.

True, I'll definitely need some spending money for the Hershey's store

I have a couple of old strollers I need to get rid of -- you want to throw some plywood on them and use them for the operating tables...they'd roll pretty well...they even have locking brakes...
Just a thought!

Great idea, K.  What do you think, Lori ?  Should we cut her in on the deal 

Jan

Don't worry about the money.  I order Canadian and US money every Monday for Thursday delivery, just send my your request.  I'll charm my way through US customs.

Well, maybe the locking brakes might be a good idea.  I live on a hill.  Wouldn't want our patients to roll away on us..  Safety first.

And, as an added benefit, my husband has his beer making supplies in the garage - we can use that for anaesthesia.  Or to toast our success afterward. 

Annmarie, can you place an order for me.  Small bills, please.   

Lori

[yardtick]

Unmarkred of course

[lori67]

Annmarie - I see you've done this before...   

Just kidding - don't want the Mounties coming to your house to arrest you or anything!    It's still too cold up there for me to come bail you out of jail.  You'd have to wait until summer.

Lori

[leapyrtwins]

Do they really have Mounties in Canada? 
 
I remember Dudley Doright when I was a kid, but I wasn't sure how true to life that was.

BTW, what was his horse's name    I'm thinking Trigger, but I know I'm wrong!

Jan

[yardtick]

Yes you silly girl, they really have mounties in Canada.  The proper name is The Royal Mounted Police.  They are Canada's national police force.   

[leapyrtwins]

Cool    Do they wear red uniforms like in the cartoon?

And what was the name of Dudley's horse?  I was thinking Nell, but that was probably his girlfriend's name.

[yardtick]

Yes when in uniform the jacket is red and the pants are black with a red stripe.  There is a hat also, don't remember the proper name, 4 might since she's a Canadian girl.

Yes, Nell is the girlfriend and I do believe the Mountie's name is Dudley Do Right.  Come on my follow Canadians help me out here, I'm on prednisone and my brain and fingers aren't co-operating at the moment.

I ask my sweet hubby the name of the horse b/c: A) he always remembers weird stuff like that & B) he lived in Canada for a good while...but, much to my astonishment, he didn't know.  I ask him this morning so maybe he has thought about it all day & has come up with the answer!!  He has taken all 3 girlies to the LIBRARY (bet he won't do that again!!  )...sure is quiet around here! 

K

[Kaybo]

OK...I looked it up & what I read said that the horses name was...are you ready for this?  HORSE!!!!  Go figure!
