====================
Hey Ruth!
-> 
-> -> 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> It's monday, she's headed back to school
-> 
-> Good, as long as she doesn't over do.
-> 
(grin)...well, she did...and now she's home 
with a bad back strain. She'll give school a
try again on Thursday, and I'll bet she's gonna
be very careful too! I'll spend Thursday going
to Portland (OR) to pick up Amanda for a couple
of days "home cooking".
-> 
->  hn> today! That Tami-flu really works! She
->  hn> knew she had the flu and still had all the
->  hn> symptoms...but not as severe as if she
->  hn> didn't have the medicine. She took the
->  hn> last of the pills Sunday night though she
-> 
-> I've not had the flu since that came out.  Actually, I've not had any
-> major case of the flu in years but I do get bronchitis on a regular
-> basis. Are you sure it wasn't all the chicken soup that made her feel
-> better?
->
It was pretty good soup, but I'm sure
that Tami-flu was a major factor in 
keeping her much more comfortable
than the regular H1N1 case.
-> 
->  hn> claimed she didn't need it by then.
->  hn> We'll see how her stamina holds up today!
-> 
-> That's the big question.  With all the kid's germs, she may be
-> susceptable to another round if she's not careful.
->
Hah! She never got the chance to
catch another "bug"!
 
-> -> 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> Nope did not get a regular flu shot (yet) and
->  hn> the H1N1 vaccine has not made much of an
->  hn> appearence yet. She won't need it now anyway.
-> 
-> I'm still waiting..............
->
I got my regular a while back, and no need
to get the H1N1 since I was exposed and didn't
get it. (at least that's my theory!)
 
-> -> 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> Low 60's is fine summer weather!
-> 
-> It's nice fall weather here.  I'd like summer to be no higher than the
-> mid 80s with the amount of humidity here (I can take it hotter, dryer.)
-> but that doesn't seem to be possible.
->
Very cool here this am...no frost but it was
close!
 
-> ->  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.
->
Most of my retired friends are on Tri-care
for life...which is another indication of my
own age (grin)
 
->  hn> Yep, I always get as much coverage
->  hn> as I can afford. All it takes is one trip
->  hn> to the hospital to wipe out years of
->  hn> savings!
-> 
-> And we're trying to avoid those trips to the hospital. I was in
-> overnight for some surgery in HI in 2002 but in from Saturday nght until
-> Friday morning the year before when I broke the elbow.  I had some
-> problems with my asthma that kept me in longer.
-> 
-> ->  HN> "right" spot! YOW!!
-> 
-> -> Agreed there--and I let them know.
-> 
->  hn> No way to stop that yelp that I know of!
-> 
-> No, and they expect it.  It's part of their job to make you yelp.
->
Yeah, but do they have to seem so
satisfied when they do it? (grin)
 
-> -> 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
-> 
->  hn> Dunno how it grows in the south, never
->  hn> tried it there...grows quite well here!
->  hn> And it's great to plant with roses, as
->  hn> it tends to keep the aphids a bit at
->  hn> bay! Bugs don't like garlic very much!
-> 
-> Nor do vampires. (G)
-> 
-> 
True...but they don't bother my roses
either! (G)
chat with you soon!
