Hi Carol,

RH> down a couple of hours ago in front of the tv and went thru one.

 CS> Oops (grin).

Just a case of the munchies and me not being around to take the box away
from him.  I usually ask his OK; he will agree, just to keep his intake
at a reasonable level.

 CS> Yes.  I probably eat some things that cause that too.

RH> Give up that coke! (G)

 CS> Coke?  Humm!  I have a soda of that flavor at best, once a month now.
 CS> I'm not a major fan of such anymore.  Odd that.  Seems until you

I don't have the 2 a day I used to, more like 2 a month.

 CS> mentioned it, I hadnt noticed.  Now if you want to destroy that, offer
 CS> me diet cherry coke with lots of ice in a glass.

I'll take regular diet, little ice, none if the Coke is cold to begin
with.

RH> Good 4th of July conditions but would be better if the island were
RH> wetter; we've not had much rain since the end of March.

 CS> Got wet and steamy here.  I'm acclimating as normal but that doesnt
 CS> mean we arent aware of the shift. It's now what I will in 3-4 weeks
 CS> cal a balmy cool 90F.

Yes, our hottest weather is usually in August or September.  The van's
AC is acting up (will get it checked on Thursday); we may be getting a
new vehicle sooner (but not before leaving the island) rather than
later.

 CS> It is documented but they seems to not care anymore on such things.

They will care, come retirement time and figuring out your disability
rate.


 CS> I'm trying to get Don to take vitamins regular but he's not terribly
 CS> good about it.  He's also taking 'glucosamine' for arthritis and it
 CS> seems to help in a gentle slow way.

RH> It never seemed to do much of any good for me so I stopped taking it.

 CS> from until 90 days later of taking it.

I took it for 2 or 3 years without any apparant effect.  But, as I said,
I may try it again.

Steve biked down to the "doin's" for the 4th earlier today & got me some
spicy garlic shrimp for lunch--yummy!  I think some chili oil was used
in the frying.
