Hi Nancy,

 NB> bites...  ;)  And  NB>> big brothers don't usually take well to
 NB> lectures from little sisters,  NB>> unless they are really ready for
 NB> it... ;)

 RH> After all he's been thru, he might finally be ready for a lecture. I
 RH> just won't start with "I told you so", even tho I tried to. (G)

 NB> No... and besides, it's so much more gratifying to hear them say, I
 NB> know, you told me so...  ;)  And then they are more open to listening,
 NB> too..

We'll see, when the time comes, how open he is to learning new ideas
about what he eats and how to prepare it. I'll have to see if there are
any farmer's markets in his area--teach him how to shop them for good
eating.

 NB>  NB>> Some of it might be there, but dormant...  but, yes, quite a few
 NB>  NB>> years of learning to catch up on...  :)

 RH> And what was commonly accepted then, isn't neccessarily so now. Plus,
 RH> the changes in cooking techinques--one year my parents got him a
 RH> toaster oven for Christmas to do what a microwave does now.

 NB> Of course, he has already learned the microwave...  :)

Basics, anyway.

 NB>  NB>> You never know.  My parents had never been all that interested
 NB> in the  NB>> healthy food things that I was learning when first on my
 NB> own... but  NB>> when I managed to help my sister get out of a nervous
 NB> breakdown with,  NB>> among other things, vitamin supplements and
 NB> better nutrition, they  NB>> made a turn about, and got even more
 NB> gung-ho than I was... And Mommy  NB>> still is, to a certain extent...
 NB> :)

 RH> My parents never did take (or have us take) vitamins until my youngest
 RH> sister had a breakdown. I came home from college on a break to find a
 RH> One-a-Day (probably A&P's own brand) set at my place every morning.
 RH> Now I take aa multi and several others.

 NB> So, we both have seen old dogs learning new tricks... and learning
 NB> healthier patterns...  so there's hope for Bill, yet...  ;)

There is hope, yes, but right now things aren't going too well. He's
fighting a rather difficult infection that puts most everything else on
a slower pace.
