Hi Hap,

->  hn> I understand the marketing rational, but
->  hn> dislike it on principle. I hate paying freight
->  hn> on "empty goods".

-> So do I. That's why I don't like paying for cleaners that are mostly
-> water and other things that are more fluff than stuff.  The one
-> exception to that is cotton candy. (G)  My parents never got it for us
-> when I was a kid so now I get it at carnivals and such like.

 hn> We all have our weak spots! Anne's is
 hn> Ice Cream...and Chocolate...mine is

Definately chocolate here as well.  Cotton candy is only for carnivals.

 hn> hmm not sure what mine is! Probably
 hn> BBQ sauces! Or BBQ anyway it comes!
 hn> Ooops, no I know what it is....
 hn> hamburgers...

We had 75% beef, 25% turkey burgers last night--grilled. Seasoned with
onion & garlic powder, black and chipotle pepper. A big "thumbs up" from
Steve. (G)

->  hn> bet Artie Johnson voice)

-> (As the younger folks wonder who in the world is/was Artie Johnson)
-> I know, pb is (in the best case) just ground peanuts but something
-> happens to them when they're ground that makes them inedible IMO.

hn> Amazing how the human mind
 hn> works!

Very much so!

->  hn> I use it regularly, but not extensively. Probably
->  hn> less than 30 minutes a day total. I had not charged
->  hn> it in a week and a half...and yesterday noticed that
->  hn> finally one of the little "segments" in the charge
->  hn> indicator had finally gone "dark"...I'll charge it
->  hn> today!

-> I'll put mine on the charger at bed time.  Since we don't have a land
-> line, I keep it with me during the day so night time is best for
-> charging.

 hn> Anne charges hers daily as well...I can't
 hn> see the need if it's still charged!

I know; I usually wait until it is down to 2 (of 4) bars. Steve would
rather I did it every night but I don't see the sense of it.

-> ->  hn> Her next appointment!
-> -> Hopefully not too far down the road.

 hn> Actually it's this friday!

So we'll know the outcome soon.

->  hn> Next week I think. I have a dr's
->  hn> appt tomorrow for the "second opinion"
->  hn> on my wonky knee.

-> So by now you should have that 2nd opinion. I get blood work done on
-> Friday and a routine check next week.

 hn> Second opinion...????? he's just as confused
 hn> as the primary surgeon. we went over the
 hn> MRI's, CAT scans, and the bone scans...
 hn> And I got sent for some additonal xrays
 hn> of my pelvis...dunno why...but they came
 hn> back normal...so he shot my knee full
 hn> of cortisone...might as well give that a
 hn> try and hope it works!

IOW, "I don't know either but let's give this a try and here's some
tests to run up the bill" kind of appointment. (G)  Hope the shot works.

-> it turned out to be the prednisone but I had to get off it slow or have
-> even worse problems.  Now one of the components to my Advair is a low
-> dose steriod so that contributes to the bruising.

 hn> Anne's always been that way.
 hn> dunno why. Amanda thank goodness
 hn> takes after me in that respect!

Is Anne on a low dose steroid in any medication?

->  hn> Some are making meals...others might
->  hn> but I would not eat what they made anyway!
->  hn> Too much salt and carbs! Did not even eat

-> Too many people know how to follow a recipe but not cook. (G)

 hn> One lady even bought a frozen lasagna and
 hn> then cooked it and took it over...why not
 hn> just leave it frozen??

Some people just know how to read a box instructions.

->  hn> what I made (too many carbs) other than

-> I'm not paying especial mind to carbs but try to balance things as a
-> whole over several days.  Been a bit carb heavy recently so I'll back
-> off for a bit.

 hn> Now that the ball season is all but
 hn> finished, I'll be re evaluating our
 hn> menu choices and diet plan for
 hn> the winter. Looks like it will be
 hn> a blend of south beach, Atkins
 hn> and diabetic recipes.

Sounds interesting. I like some carbs, can't live with a no carb
restriction voluntatily. I could if I had to.

->  hn> chicken noodle casserole in a big Lasagna type
->  hn> pan so if she has folks over she has something
->  hn> to feed everyone, and the mac and cheese is in
->  hn> three diffent containers so she can use them as
->  hn> she needs them. Since her hubby is not eating well,

-> Smart thinking there.

->  hn> I made both dishes a bit calorie rich by using butter
->  hn> and half and half instead of milk.

-> That'll do it!
