Nancy , you definitely are living my recurrent nightmare. Since I was a child I have dreamed I end up in a place where no one speaks English ,and I don't even have a dime to place a phone call, you can tell how long I have been dreaming that dream, because pay phones are now 25¢ . I know it couldn't be Spanish nor German because I would have understood enough words to at least make some semblance of sense out of the conversations. After living in South Florida for 29 years I feel as if I live in a foreign country, all the different languages people speak down here, its like a trip to the United Nations just to go to the grocery store, not to mention the banks. It sure makes life a lot more interesting!! Is it true you can still hire a maid in Mexico at a reasonable rate? Or has all that changed too? P.S. The 2 months I was on Eldepryl I was depressed and had nightmares, are you on Eldepryl? just me, Marjorie At 11:35 PM 08/18/2000 -0400, you wrote: ><<The 83 year old lady, in Ft.
