Hi Ruth,

-> Most of them not seen or flipped by with the remote in this household.

 RH> Same here.  I know a bunch of guys though, and have learened how they
 RH> think.

Their thumb and the channel up or down buttons get a good work out.
I'll put a show on and keep it on that network until it's done,
sometimes hitting the mute button for commercials.


-> We generally go there only for the McFlurries or Fruit & Yogurt
-> Parfaits.  I did try the chipotle chicken when it came out in HI; good
-> for one meal but couldn't make a meal of it all the time.

 RH> I can tolerate the new coffee, but the rest of the menu isn't anything
 RH> exciting.

And I don't drink coffee...................

-> Sounds like my dad and his WWII experiences when we were growing up.
-> About the only thing he told us about HI was that it rained every day;
-> he didn't even tell us that most of the time the rain was a gentle misty

But at least they got supplies (sort of regularly). I've told you about
my dad's canned corn beef and spam stretch.


-> about 10 days from the foot surgery.  Misery loves company case.

 RH> The MS causes cramps sometimes, but they're transitory.

These were so bad at first the pain killer would wear off well before
time to take another.  Thankfully the spasms subsided over a week or so
and haven't returned.

-> Anyway, had a check up with my pulminologist yesterday and he's very

 RH> One less problem.  Now to just get rid of the pollen.......

Kind of hard to do; seems like there's something pollinating year round
here.

->  RH> don't know how they eat!

-> Anything that can be nuked, store bought "meals", fast foods, etc.

 RH> Like I said.  Some of that is pretty good, but some of it ... gak.
 RH> They have prepared salads at my local A&P that look really good until
 RH> you eat them.  The thai mango slaw looks great but tastes like nothing

Sounds like it's despitation food. (G)  At least for those that like
good food.

 RH> in particular.  I'd rather eat PB&J, which since I'm a mango fan
 RH> should tell you something.  On the other hand they get their Jamaican

 RH> best prepared item in the case.

Sounds like they need to review suppliers and eliminate the contract for
those that make the bad stuff, add more contractors for the good.
