Hi Michael,

 ML> For me it's just a function of comfort; thank goodness it's

I was at that point at one time in my life.  Trouble is, I can't seem to
get back there.  I know the consequences of cutting out my Advair; my
asthma control goes into a tail spin.  When I saw my doctor last week, I
found out that the military pharmacies are now giving a choice of 2
bronchiodialtors; I asked for, and got, my albuterol back.  The newer
one I've used for almost a year now wasn't nearly as effective so it's
good to have something I know works in my pocket again.  (It literally
lives there at times.)

Sounds like you got over it tho.  Did you know that if I'm having an
athma attack and don't have the albuterol handy, a cup of strong coffee
will calm it down?  Problem with me there is that I dont like coffee but
I guess I could choke it down.  I'd rather have tea but it doesn't have
as much caffiene--the secret ingredient.

 RH> using them.  Don't need to worry about the alcohol; 2nd hand smoke is
 RH> more of a health risk. (G)

 ML> Luckily both in Massachusetts and Maryland, smoking is mostly in
 ML> designated smoking areas.

I've got to watch that tho; we've found some designated smoking areas
too close for my comfort in some eating places.  Coming home from the
picnic in July we encountered one of them in VA.

 ML> Sam Choy!
 RH> Sam himself is typical Hawaiian.

 ML> His cuisine is beyond typical Hawaiian, that's what
 ML> makes him interesting.

I've met him in person; he's interesting beyond his cooking.

Sam has an annual poke contest but we neverentered it.
