Hi Hap,

-> Thanks, I'm working on it. (G)

 HN> help!

Sometimes I've got to go at a pace of less than a day at a time. But,
step by step, this will be beat. And, I agree, a sense of humor is one
of the best weapons in the fight--as you know, I've got that part down
pretty well.

I'm not ready for a wheelchair yet! I do have a cane and as long as I
can sit down from time to time, I'd be OK.  The worst times are when
Steve's looking at something; I generally wander a bit so as to keep
moving.  Standing still is harder on my foot than moving around a bit.

->  HN> All us great cheffs does it that way (grin)

-> Is there any other way to do it? (G)

I saw one of those in the fancy kitchenware store in town.  Guess I
won't be buying it; I can tear up my knuckles easily enough as is with
my other "toys".

 HN> I can understand that totally...maybe more than totally (grin)

Sort of like my parents and the 5 of us kids regarding school lunches.
Nine of 10 dys were (smooth, cheapest available) peanut butter and
(usually) grape jelly white (ballon, cheap) bread sandwiches. Tenth day
may have been a slice of bologna or Kraft type (no, not the two
together) cheese with a smear of yellow mustard white bread sandwich. To
this day I avoid cheap bologna, Kraft type "cheese" slices, pb and
yellow mustard. Grape jelly is OK but I'd rather have some other if
possible and bread is most often a whole grain type.

-> BTW, Steve said he will let pepperoni be part of the honerable vegetable
-> category but right now that's the only pork product he will designate
-> so.

 HN> Give him time, he'll learn!

I'm giving him plenty of time; he's made progress in the past couple of
years from none at all to bits and bites.
