-> 
AMEN!

now.
-> 
-> I've had several relatives on my dad's side with various forms so this

-> 
Not a good thing to have in the family. 

-> ->  HN> for the day. It felt a little strange to be in one...but it all
the

good!
->  HN> ->
-> -> Well, I might go for it then--or just not spend too long any day and
do
-> -> it over several days if I ever go.  Chances of my going are sort of
slim
-> -> anyway.
-> 
->  HN> The best part (and the part that seemed to make it worth the
effort)
->  HN> was not having to stand around in lines for extended amounts of
time.
-> 
-> That works.  I've got a placard for the car.  Even Steve really
-> appreciated being able to park in a handicapped spot a few months ago.
-> He'd done a 20k road march and had huge blisters on his feet. We went
-> out for Mexican food that night and the handicapped spot was right by
-> the front door of the eatery.
-> 
I'll bet he was VERY happy not to have to walk very far after that!

-> having fun with my micorplane for hard cheese too.  Last night's pizza
-> had 3 kinds of hard cheese on it; peccorino romano, parmesain reggino
-> and assagio, all freshly grated.
-> 
Those are the three I keep on hand and I love to use my microplane as well!
Adding a bit of grated assagio to scrambled eggs is niiiice!

-> ->  HN> apple jelly and pb for us, or cheese and apple jelly on (of
course)
-> ->  HN> white bread.
-> 
-> -> That stuff gets around, doesn't it?
-> 
->  HN> What the white bread or the cheese and jelly? (grin)
-> 
-> The white bread.
-> 
Oh yeah! I tend to like the coarser breads, whole grain or multi
grain...but I'm a sucker for a good white sourdough!
