International Fans and Dental Visits

Yes, I have seen on the map of most recent visitors several international fans. It does not tell me the name of the country, there is only a red circle on the bravemet map. I think anyone can look at it by hitting recent map visitors.

Today I was back at the dentist after more dental problems. I had a cleaning and the dentists noted that the reason a temporary bridge kept falling off what that a post holding the tooth had broken. He glued me together and I am now due for three more appointments.

I have told him, I am his pension plan.

Teaching Ends in Rhode Island

Yesterday my teaching ended in Rhode Island. Today I spent the day updating legal documents , visiting the doctor, and going to my writing class.

I have selected a new lawyer who works alone. I told him if he wanted an assistant next summer, I would be glad to apply. Who knows what will happen, but it would be interesting since I always wanted to go to law school.

You never know what the future holds. Networking is the key to finding new jobs.


Fancy Nancy says: Networking pays off!

New Comments Encouraged

I have been reviewing my blog and I would love to hear your comments. I noticed today on the blog map there are hits from not just the US but from other countries as well.

I was doing some reserach and when I was at the bank, I noticed that not all the bankers are accourate with the FDIC laws. Upon review , I found out that the FDIC insures up to $250,000 only until Dec. 31, 2013. After that the insurance returns to $100,000.

I had asked this question at the bank, and one of the reps did not give me the correct answer. Only in an IRA does the $250,000 remain. It is good to check the facts before you believe what you have been told.

A Good Miovie to See

We just saw the movie Wall St. The movie is well done and the acting is excellent. He is similar to the first movie with a new plot. Again greed comes through. The movie does hold you since the plot is interesting.

Today was the last class for Speed Reading and on Monday I have the last class this summer for Life Story. I have enjoyed my classes, and with luck I will start again in Florida in Jan.

Tonight it was very foggy and warm. It feels like a storm is brewing. Hope is does not last!

Golf Club for Goats

Today I tried to play gold on a club called Rose Hill. It was only a par 3 course, but it was built for the mountain goats. After about 6 holes pushing my baby carriage up and down the hills, I decided this was not fun. I skipped the last few holes and returnd to my car exhausted.

When I got home I took a shower and then right on to my nice nap. Since I had exercised in the morning before the Goat Golf Club, I did not realize that this additional exercise was too much for me today.

Well, the lesson to learn is " Pace yourself" No more Goat Gulf Clubs for Fancy Nancy

Teaching Will End Soon

My teaching in Rhode Island will end at the end of Sept. I have enjoyed all my students. I have one student I meet privately, and she will continue until the beginning of Nov. In between we visit Calif. and then back to Florida.

My teaching starts in Florida in January. I am lucky to have several teaching jobs in Florida, so it is always fun to meet new students. Today, was a medical apt. day. The skin doctor sprayed several area of concern and wants me to return before we leave. Hopefully, all will be okay.

Taking care of the body is a full time job as we age!

Fancy Nancy says: Appreciate all your body parts that work!

An Interesting New Year Program

This year we did something different. First we attended services at Temple Beth El and then we tried Hillel at the University of Rhode Island. They had a woman rabbi leading the services.

The only problem was there was no mike, so it was hard to hear. I just wrote to the person who donated the building to Hillel and asked if they could get a mike for next year and I would be happy to make another donation to Hillel. Hope it works out so that next year I could hear the service .

I am still teaching, but that ends the end of Sept. In Oct. we plan on visiting Calif. to see family and friends. The weather has been lovely, but it now gets dark earlier. Fall in New England is a very pretty time of year. Happy New Year to all!!!

Fancy Nancy says: The New Year brings New Hope!

Booked tickets to California

Today I went to the dentist, had lunch with a friend, and booked our flights to California. The price of the tickets went up due to all the taxes they require. We hope to visit family and friends while we are there.

Fancy Nancy has a dear friend who just moved to California, so it will be fun to connect with her. Fancy Nancy completes her Rhode Island teaching this month, and next month she hopes to do some traveling. In Nov. we return to Florida and then she starts to teach again.

Fancy Nancy says: Travel while you can do it!!!

Fancy Nancy Enjoys Neighbors for Dinner

Tonight my wonderful neighbors came for dinner. They have four lovely children, and I am lucky that they live across the stree from me. I also had time to do my fun line dancing. I was due as a student at wriitng class, but since I was having compnay I needed the time for cooking and my nap.

I find that when I am having company it is nice to lay down for a rest before they arrive. That way, I am now worn out and I can enjoy the visit.


Fancy Nancy says: Naps work for daytime renewed energy. I take them at 4pm. Why not!

A Fun Class Today

Fancy Nancy started teaching a new class for Life Story Writing. I enjoy my students and today was the first time that I have a father and his daugther in the same class. This never happened before. What a nice new experience. I also tutored another lovely student in the afternoon.

The nice part of teaching is all the lovely people you meet in class. You would never know them otherwise. I do love my work .

Fancy Nancy Fixes the Body Parts

It seems as we get older, the body parts need more repair work. Last week it was the teeth and again today, the dentist. Today it was the stomach and my wonderful doctor at Lahey even gave me advice online. I did appreciate her kindness. I also have to see my internist in Narragansett, but he was too busy today, so I go on Thursday to get advice. Well, what else can you do.

Today I connected with aol. Some guys from India tried to help me with a cheaper plan. Aol is lousy, but it is too big a problem to change. I updated my software, and so far it is working. One never knows with their lousy service.

I guess the best plan is take on day at a time. Tomorrow it is Lahey Clinic and the eye doctor. Hope all of you have good bodies that work. Fancy Nancy is repairing hers.

Happy New Year to all.


Fancy Nancy says: Patience is a virtue.

Hooray for Fancy Nancy

Last night I spent two hours trying to fix my computer. I had a damaged software part and AOL gave me long instructions on what to do. Well , I worked until 2am to do them and then today, after calling AOL I actually got online with the new software program. Now I have to cancel a second program that got created. I am becoming a computer maven.

We were lucky to avoid the storm. If anyone knows how to set up the icons on my new computer program at the top of the page can you send me instructions??? Thanks for you help.


Fancy Nancy is Getting Computer Savy

Life's Little Frustrations

This morning I was at the dentist nearby to have him reglue a temporary bridge in my mouth. I just had it redone on Tues. It fell out. Guess what, tonight I went to eat and it fell out again. I will have to go back to the first dentist to probably have it redone. It no longer seems to fit right.

Tonight my computer is having problems. Aol says I have damaged software and I have to resintall their systme. They sent me 12 pages of instructions!!! I guess I will take the computer to Staples to get some help.

These are some of Life's Frustrations.

The trick is to look at them as minor inconveniences on the journey of life.

Fancy Nancy says: This too will pass!

Big Tree is Now Gone

So glad the tree man arrived today and cut down a huge tree. Glad I got it done before any more storms. It took them about 6 hours to do the job, but hopefully, my car will no longer be covered with tree sap.

It seems in today's world even though we are in a recession companies do not always show up when they are booked. I wonder what happens and why this occurs? I was lucky that they did show up today.

I am trying to keep calm when things go wrong, but there are times it is not so easy.

Fancy Nancy says: I hope we don't get a storm.
