 JK> Lessee.. this year I'm going to be 57.. scarey :) :) Actually this
 JK> Sunday is the day (g).  Well, Ron survived it so I guess I will :) 

Age is more a state of mind than any thing else.. ;)   Happy Birthday! 
My body keeps finding things that are "older than the rest of me", but
otherwise I don't feel all that old...

 JK> I hope so.. in addition, it's easier I think to 'ease' into the cold

One does acclimate better if the temps change gradually and one can get
used to it...

 JK> Yep.. it's a pretty big house.. not as big as this one here in NY, but
 JK> when they built it, they included three rooms for Mom and Dad as a
 JK> kind of private area for the two of them.. They've since given that
 JK> space to their son so Mom will be in a 'back bedroom' or something.. 

In that case, HOW does she get off by charging your Mom so much... if it
were the "inlaw apartment" she was getting, it still would be somewhat
outrageous, but that is just highway robbery par excellance!

 >>> Have to learn all over again the science of layering... ;)  And the mind
 >>> over matter tricks, too... (G)
 >> I think it's worse for someone with fibermyalgia like Mom has.. it's

 > True.  Fibromyalgia's no picnic either...  I have a secondary form of

 JK> Oh sorry to hear that.. so you get some of the symptoms?  I know the
 JK> kind of pain Mom goes through.. It's nasty as all get out :( 
 
Mostly it's just that any and all of the trigger points will hurt if
pressed, primary is much worse...  :(

 JK> I've been making a lot of soups here lately too.. even for lunch..
 JK> darn it's been cold here :(  We've had: bean and alphabet soup (a mix
 JK> I picked up at the health food store, it was yummy (g)), Tomato soup
 JK> (my favorite) and beef and orzo soup, and macaroni and bean (pasta e
 JK> fagioli) soup :) 

Nice line-up... :)  They all sound quite tasty.  :)

 >> We can hope :)  Keeping the house real warm the way I like it will
 >> help too :)
 > That it will.  :)

 JK> We seal the house up pretty good in the winter.. and close the back
 JK> door so the dog door doesn't let in drafts.. the dogs have to let us
 JK> know when they want to go out, but they get used to that fast in the
 JK> winter.. and they don't like it out there either :) 

They probably think it a good trade-off, having to ask to go out, but
having a warmer floor to nap on... :)
