Rodney,

I see Sally has given you a few artists to checkout. Here is a new artist that I love. Her name is Caro Emerald and her music sounds as though it is from another era. This song just makes me want to dance.

If the link doesn't work look up Caro Emerald, A Night Like This, on You Tube.

I can see you dancing around the kitchen to this.

I am so thrilled with England right now. Not the jubilee or the football or the Olympics, but the vets here. My cat was ill with hyperthyroid disease when we brought him home. the vet in the US didn't catch it and we didn't know about it until we got back and he started throwing up.

He is my little buddy and has been for 14 years. I was so worried about him.

Long story short, we took him to the vet here, they discussed all the options with us, and we decided on surgery. He had to be hospitalized for 2 weeks prior to surgery to stabilize his thyroid levels - the whole thing (hospitalization, surgery, meds etc) cost less than half what we would have paid in the US. And the results couldn't be better - he is happy again and gaining weight. We just took him in for a check-up and they said they're thrilled with his progress.

Long live the Queen!

Sally thats fantastic news, really good to hear of yet another one of the good things about living in England,
I want to join you in saying Im also thrilled with England, and I love this country, -------------- and anyone out there that are worried about the culture shock that they may experience over hear, ------ DONT, cause speaking for myself I blended in so well, and experienced no culture shock at all,
and I bet not too many of us do.
Take care,
Rodney.
