Subject: Don't know what type of expansion program you use...sm

but since mibi is usually the part heard, make an expansion with that, then you will be able to see that word that is on the tip of your tongue.  I do that with certain medications, instruments and procedures that I often forget.  I make the expansion from what I usually hear, then sometimes back it up with a better description of the correct term.  Good thing the expansion programs have a lot of memory cause my brain seems to get overloaded or just downright DUH some days!  Glad we could help you!

Rescheduling of Continuing Education program
To everyone in "Bang for the Buck" class, I am rescheduling Lea Sims.  She notified Tina that she is unable to get online due to weather problems.  She feels she might not be ready by Monday, and Tuesday is "iffy." 

 

With Emily out there, she might knock out our Texans and Louisiana participants if Lea would get back for this weekend, as scheduled; however, I will try to reschedule Lea in ASAP for this same class.  It may be August
