Hi Hap,

-> fun, keep pushing the chicken soup. It's a good thing that computer
-> viruses (viri?) are the only thing that travel thru the air & Steve has

 HN> Oh I'm pushing the soup! (grin) She's either

 HN> whole lot of energy.....which may be a good thing
 HN> as she'd be up and around doing "stuff" otherwise!

I understand that.  Nothing like feelig there's a whole lot to get done
(& you're the only one that can do it) but feeling rotten.  Hopefully bu
the time this hits the upload here/download there, she will be doing
better.  Is she starting to cluck from all the chicken soup?

->  hn> to sneak in the building to deliver lesson plans for the

-> That's dedicated teaching but she needs to stay home.

 HN> She's not feeling like doing anything
 HN> otherwise at this point!

Did she get the regular flu shot?  I got it but have been waiting on the
H1N1 to be available here.  If not anything else, I see my pulminologist
on Nov. 16.  If he has the vaccine, I can get it then; otherwise, it's a
matter of waiting until I hear of a clinic with a decent supply
available.

->  hn> Ahhh, summer weather, I miss it already...LOL

-> I wouldn't mind what we're having today year round.

 HN> I could go for that!

So could I but the low 60s are coming back tomorrow.  Time for heartier
eating again; I've got a couple of chicken breast halves baking in the
oven right now.

->  hn> True, but it costs a co-pay every time I walk
->  hn> through the door...and that adds up to some $$

-> I know.  Steve can get some of his work done thru the VA but I can't.
-> We're dealing with co pays again--for a while, we had to pay a Tri-care

 HN> Now you've shifted to Tri-Care for life
 HN> though right?

No, that comes once we hit 65.  Right now it's Tri-Care for retirees,
choice of Prime, Standard or Extra.  We're staying with the Prime we had
while Steve was active duty; I need the coverage.
-> The latter.  I could out tough some of the guys who were there for
-> therapy but didn't have as high a pain tolerance.

 HN> Me too...but there's no such thing
 HN> as "tolerance" when they hit the exact
 HN> "right" spot! YOW!!

Agreed there--and I let them know.

->  hn> Funny the way our preferences work with some
->  hn> dishes!

-> Very true.  I was raised on only garlic salt (gag) but took to cooking
-> with fresh garlic and garlic powder when I married Steve.  Almost but
-> not quite the same with onions; my dad allowed some fresh for cooking
-> but very little (he had stomach trouble, probably pre ulcers, garlic &
-> onion didn't sit well) but he did let my mom use some onion powder as
-> well.

 HN> I was raised totally without garlic.
 HN> Mom used onion powder, and fresh onions
 HN> a lot, but not garlic. I guess it was
 HN> not much of a southern rural ingredient.

Probably not; it doesn't seem to grow that well in the south.  We had
some in a flower bed at Fort Hood but IIRC, it never did anything but
grow up, nothing underground.  Dug it up and gave it away before we
moved to Germany.



... Even I don't understand what I just said...
