Hey Janis!

-> Hehe.. yeah, and now they they think the tonsils do have  a purpose in 
antibody

after
-> mine came out, but I also remember putting up quite a fight over the 
needles

-> guess (grin)
-> 
-> Also, I remember it was funny..  that "not knowing the purpose" was true 
of the

ended up

thought
-> the mitochondria did nothing then.. later research discovered that the
-> mitochondria, this little organelle in the human cell, is the power house of
-> the cells.. Quite a difference from what was taught back then :)
-> 
When I was in college (chem ocean and bio ocean major) it was
known..but when my daughter went just a few years back
SO much more had been added!

-> Oof.. That's scarey when it happens to a kid.. for a mom at least.. I'd bet 
as

a
-> good thing you just put that right out of your mind :) :)

The only thing I remember is the smell of ether!(grin)

-> hahahahaha :) That is funny!  Well, I would love to visit some of the french
-> cooking schools as well, to see what they are like.. like Julia Child did :)
-> That would be neat.. who knows.. maybe when we get rich someday 
hehe :)  For
-> now, I'll be content with reading about Julia's experiences .. I love
reading
-> her cookbooks.. she had  such great character sometimes if you know 
what I
-> mean.. she was never afraid of looking foolish or making mistakes.. just 
went
-> on with whatever she was doing :)
-> 
Well our own Ian Hoare has a B&B in France, you should
consider making a visit one of these days...none of us
are getting younger...although Anne says I act like it
sometimes! (grin)
