Hi Ruth!
-> 
-> -> 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> in bed or bundled up on the couch. She's feeling
->  HN> the full effect of the flu now and doesn't have a
->  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?
-> 
It's monday, she's headed back to school
today! That Tami-flu really works! She 
knew she had the flu and still had all the 
symptoms...but not as severe as if she
didn't have the medicine. She took the
last of the pills Sunday night though she
claimed she didn't need it by then.
We'll see how her stamina holds up today!

-> ->  hn> to sneak in the building to deliver lesson plans for the
-> ->  hn> substitute!!
-> 
-> -> 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.
->
Nope did not get a regular flu shot (yet) and
the H1N1 vaccine has not made much of an
appearence yet. She won't need it now anyway.
 
-> ->  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.
->
Low 60's is fine summer weather!

-> ->  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.

Yep, I always get as much coverage
as I can afford. All it takes is one trip
to the hospital to wipe out years of 
savings!

-> -> 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.
->
No way to stop that yelp that I know of!
 
-> ->  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.
->
Dunno how it grows in the south, never
tried it there...grows quite well here!
And it's great to plant with roses, as
it tends to keep the aphids a bit at 
bay! Bugs don't like garlic very much!
chat with you soon!
