If I need to slow down, I can but I can also blitz thru the commissary
in 20 minutes or less. It's easier to do the fast trip if I'm not riding
the cart but pushing a buggy.

My mom has no use for MM--well, maybe, to replace some cook books that
are falling apart from old age.

 CS> Jello allowed?  That helps.

I couldn't have anything with red, blue or green dye so I made my own
gelatin with white grape and apple juice & unflavored gelatin.  The test
is over; the doctor gave an excellent, all clear, repeat in 5-10 (5
