Ärende: down the hatch!
=======================
Hi Hap,

-> -> That's quite a bit. We've only had two, or the gallon jug.

 hn> Uhm, they weren't for oral ingestion...till I talked
 hn> to Stephen, I didn't even know Fleets had anything
 hn> for the oral end! The enema ones aren't pleasant, but
 hn> they were better than the go-likecrazy stuff (IMO)

Either way you get it, it's not fun.  At least with this last one, the
instructions given, made it all over in a few hours.  The first couple
hours were the hardest, then just had to (sit and) wait for it to be
done.  Effectively had it all over well before bed time the night before
the procedure.


->  hn> This place was nicer than just about any
->  hn> place I've been, including some very
->  hn> nice restaurants!

-> That must be some well off medical practice!

 hn> Seems there may be a lot of money
 hn> to be found "down there" (grin) Not
 hn> a job I'd want though!

Nor I. I've used a phrase common to the hippie era to describe it.

-> -> Hopefully the sight on your hind was 20/20. (GD&R)

->  hn> Heck, with the size of my hind
->  hn> more like 40/40! (grin)

-> zip my lip (AKA no comment)

 hn> LOL, You'd be hardpressed to come up
 hn> with one I have not already heard

Probably but I'm keeping in mind the keyboards and monitors of the folks
here.  I don't want to have to pay for any replacements. (G)

-> ->  hn> in bed with the thermostat up to 80 in the
-> ->  hn> house...and I was still cold!

-> -> No fun at all.  Lots of pain killers and warm liquids too, I presume.

->  hn> hot liquids yes, pain killers no.

-> OK, hopefully you are feeling better now.

 hn> It usually only takes me one day to get over
 hn> the visit but I'm pretty useless for that one day.

That's good.  I'm finding it takes me longer to get over dental work
than it used to.  The preliminary work (combined with a filling) for the
crown took about 2.5 hours, mostly with my mouth held open. My jaw ached
for several days after.


-> -> That's a sad reflection on society as a whole now.  Home ec is out of
-> -> most schools and moms are too busy working outside the home to teach
-> -> kids how to cook.  Fast food and microwaves (if the kid can read

->  hn> It IS a sad reflection! When I was there
->  hn> I cooked several meals that we shared
->  hn> with the dorm...they all loved the food,
->  hn> but only a couple were intersted at all in
->  hn> how it was made! We stopped in Davis

-> And some years from now the kids will think back to those meals,
-> wondering how they were cooked/assembled.

 hn> One would hope that they would eventually
 hn> learn to fend for themselves and gain those
 hn> skills.

You can hope but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting to get an answer.  I
suspect that one, maybe two will eventually learn how to cook fairly
well but the rest of the bunch will be mediocre at best.

->  hn> farmer's market day...and we ended up
->  hn> buying a HUGE box of tomatoes for almost
->  hn> nothing...so I made tomato sauce out of

-> Made sense.  I'd have done likewise if I knew the facilities were
-> available.

 hn> makes total sense! (grin) and the sauce
 hn> was goooooood!

I would think it would be, not having tasted your sauce but knowing the
years of experience behind the creation of it.


->  hn> in the dorm was AMAZED that anyone
->  hn> even knew HOW to make tomato sauce
->  hn> from scratch! She watched me do it and
->  hn> later on she made a batch herself, so I
->  hn> was extra happy that I was able to share
->  hn> that little bit of knowledge!

-> I did similar when a friend got a big box of tomatoes on a government
-> give away except I taught her how to can them. A couple of days later,
-> she taught a neighbor of hers how to can tomatoes (she'd gotten a box
-> also). Both instances were such that freezing or making into sauce was
-> not as good an option as canning.

 hn> We used to do a lot of canning, but
 hn> tomatoes were one thing I never liked
 hn> to can, not that I didn't like canned
 hn> tomatoes, but I knew some folks who
 hn> had a bunch of canned (in canning jars)
 hn> tomatoes explolde...and it turned out
 hn> they were loaded with botulism...and
 hn> just the thought of that gave me
 hn> enough pause so that I didn't want
 hn> to can tomatoes.

I've never had a jar of tomatoes or salsa go bad or fail to seal.  I've
heard plenty of nightmarish stories about exploding pressure cookers but
have yet to experience it.  I don't think my mom had any blow ups
either; I guess the occaisional one gets all the publicity & all the
successful ones don't get any.
