->  RH> Yeah - having your lungs not work properly is bad enough, adding
the
->  RH> nose too would be a bit much.
-> 
-> You bet!  I'm coughing more today, beginning to think that this may try
-> & turn into bronchitis.  If it does and the medical here is closed down,
-> I've got some meds my pulmonologist in HI gave me that'll hold me until
-> I can get in.
-> 
Ewww.  Ick.  I got to play tag with dental work yesterday.  Beats
bronchitis, because once the dentist lets go it's over.  At least, until
the next time.... 

-> -> my paycheck in a store if I worked in their environment. (G)
-> 
->  RH> It's a definite drawback!  I'm not safe in a fabric store.
-> 
-> Yes, because you don't have somebody with you holding you back.  Steve
-> does that for me most of the time. OTOH, there are times he will spot
-> something he wants me to make for him. (G)
-> 
I only bought a few pieces of fabric the last time.  Nothing was really
talking to me. If it doesn't tell me what it wants me to do with it, I'm
safe.  The last time, a really pretty piece of embroidered tobacco-colored
home dec fabric told me it wanted to be curtains.  For somebody.  Not mine,
but curtains. It was on clearance for like $3/yard, but even so.....  
 
->  RH> Your mother gave you way too many PB&Js?  Or too many Sno-balls?
-> 
-> Too many PB&J. With 5 kids in the house, they bought the cheap white
-> bread, smooth peanut butter & grape jelly for 9 out of 10 school lunches

Ewwww.  White bread.  

-> (other one was almost as bad, either cheap bologna & mustard or
-> "plastic" cheese slice with mustard, rarely tuna fish or egg salad,
-> always on white).  Mom would always place the cookie on top of the

Even worse.   Plastic cheese on white bread.

-> sanwich so by lunch time we had a soggy cookie and a big stale spot in
-> the middle of the sandwich.  It was really bad when she wrapped the
-> sandwiches in wax paper; a few years after she started working, she
-> started buying sandwich bags with the fold in flap and tuck over cuff.
-> Then the cookie was put on the fold in flap--but when she'd lift the bag
-> to fold over the cuff, the cookie would slide off the flap and not
-> ususally spotted and replaced on the flap. I wasn't fond of PB to begin
-> with but after 12 years of it, I really hated it. I can make a PB
-> sandwich for Steve without gagging but don't ask me to eat a PB cookie
-> or anything else similar.

My mother used waxed paper too, but the cookies got their own piece and
stayed dry.  I still like peanut butter, but then it wasn't fed to me
daily.  My mother likes it more than I do.
 
-> -> by some still a newcomer.  So, it goes for the north as well as the
-> -> south I guess.
-> 
->  RH> Yep - swamp yankees can be worse about it than anyone else.
-> 
-> Well, we've been accepted in our church without question. (G)

Well, that's different.  You're kin.  Kin can be Yankees and still be
OK.(G)  
 
->  RH> I'd have to try it all at least once, just for the experience. 
After
->  RH> that, I'd probably leave the poi behind.
-> 
-> I tried poi but not poke.  Just a bit uneasy, knowing some of the health
-> problems I have.

I've never seen poke, but would probably take a crack at it.  I can eat
just about anything.
 
-> Talked to Rachel yesterday; they'd gone to AZ for Christmas but took
-> Robert's truck (wrapped) to give to him.  It was a HUGE (!!!!!!!) hit
-> with him. (G) We also sent a Veggie Tale Bob the Tomato play doh set and
-> money to buy a Big Wheel.

The biggest hit this year for me was my brother in-law's plastic flamingos. 
He wanted a pair of the real ones, since the factory had closed down.  Just
days before he told me what he wanted for Christmas, I'd found a pair in
the Salvation Army.(G)  I ended up with a big 5-CD player, which is
currently playing Cassandra Wilson.
