*huge grin*  I spent much of my childhood years being raised by
a community of ex-Peace Corpers.  Probably the PowahStick idea
was from the same origin methinks..

In a Peter Fonda twist to my own biography, I too used
to work in the healthcare field (hospital lab tech).  I also used to 
work for a medical consultant who was the former HHS undersecretary 
(ooh and I dated his child too *grin*) and i worked in the insurance field.

Never was a claim rep, but gimme some time, after all im
only years old!
