Hiya Ruth!
-> 
-> -> I think I might have to take Maryanne and Lynn to an IHOP pretty soon
-> -> just to see how they are.
-> 
->  hn> Butter Pecan, that's the other flavor...Anne LOVES
->  hn> it, it's full of HFCS (as most are) so we dont' go there
-> 
-> When we went to Kauai, the place we ate breakfast at (Both days, as it
-> was so good the first, we went back the 2nd morning.) had coconut syrup
-> for their pancakes. That's also where we discovered tropical fruit
-> salsa.  Got back to Oahu and looked in the Hawaiian foods section of the
-> Schofield commissary for coconut syrup.  They had it, but it had HFCS in
-> it so we left it on the shelf.
-> 
Yeh, that's what we do as well! I see that HFCS
is now running commercials on TV telling how "good"
it is! 

->  hn> very often, but when we do she loves to smother
->  hn> her pancakes in the butter pecan syrup. We used to
-> 
-> I usually try to get a meal that doesn't have pancakes included.  With
-> eggs and sides, it's way too much for me to eat.  At the IHOP on Maui,
-> they let me split an order with Steve.  He took the pancakes; I took the
-> eggs and sausage, with a side order of toast.  It worked out well; I've
-> found if I have pancakes in a place like that, it feels like a solid
-> weight in my stomach the rest of the day.  Usually we only go to places
-> like that if we're traveling.  I'm not able to do my usual "run around
-> the house" for exercise so I try to go for something lighter.
->
We don't have em very often anymore either.
Mostly because of our low carb ways, but 
every so often we go off the track for a meal!
 
->  hn> have a pancake house here in tacoma (not an IHOP)
->  hn> that made about 30 different kinds of pancakes, none
->  hn> from mixes, and they were GREAT...but as happens in
->  hn> most cases, mom and pop got old...kids didn't care
->  hn> about the business as they'd all grown up gone to
->  hn> college and become Dr's and lawyers...so they sold
->  hn> the place and the property was buldozed and now
->  hn> it's a strip mall and a Jack in the box. We used to
-> 
-> On one of our trips back to Sierra Vista, we tried going to an old
-> favorite place for breakfast. It, too, was gone and we had to settle for
-> Denny's.
->
Sad isn't it? 
-> 
->  hn> take Amanda there when she was very little...it
->  hn> was a special treat for all of us! Holy smokes
->  hn> batman...I'm turning into a GEEZER!!!! :-0

I'm coming to acceptance on it (Grin)
 
->  hn> chat with you soon!
->  hn> hap
->  hn> Hmmm, have not seen the
->  hn> Haffly's around, hope they
->  hn> are ok!
-> 
-> We are; our "point man" (boss node) had a batch stick in his system
-> last week. We were without Fido for a few days, then started with the
-> packets from Dale.  Things are back to normal now but still getting the
-> packets for a it, just in case........

Glad that was all it was! See, you were missed!
On a side note, knowing you're a Mets fan. I got
to meet Tom Seaver today at a charity event at
the ballpark! What a nice guy! Also got to meet
the owner of the San Francisco Giants, and Boston 
pitcher John Lester, Jamie Moyer (now a world series
ringholder) and a bunch of other Hi-rollers (grin)...
chat with you soon!
