Hi Ruth,

-> No fun. Steve has given me the cough part of his cold; he's still got a
-> bit of the stuffy head.  As annoying as it is, I'd rather have the cough
-> than the head cold, even with asthma.

 RH> Yeah - having your lungs not work properly is bad enough, adding the
 RH> nose too would be a bit much.

You bet!  I'm coughing more today, beginning to think that this may try
& turn into bronchitis.  If it does and the medical here is closed down,
I've got some meds my pulmonologist in HI gave me that'll hold me until
I can get in.

->  RH> insurance it could work nicely.

-> Well, we'll see what's available in the area where Steve goes to school
-> or where we eventually settle.  Maybe I'll just stay with the home based
-> work as I've done for the last 30 or so years. I might spend too much of
-> my paycheck in a store if I worked in their environment. (G)

 RH> It's a definite drawback!  I'm not safe in a fabric store.

Yes, because you don't have somebody with you holding you back.  Steve
does that for me most of the time. OTOH, there are times he will spot
something he wants me to make for him. (G)


->  RH> No coconut or peanut butter?  Any particular reason, or are you a
->  RH> coconut hater like my mother?

-> Don't like either of them. Forcibly ODed on the one as a school kid,
-> just never cared for the other.

 RH> Your mother gave you way too many PB&Js?  Or too many Sno-balls?

Too many PB&J. With 5 kids in the house, they bought the cheap white
bread, smooth peanut butter & grape jelly for 9 out of 10 school lunches
(other one was almost as bad, either cheap bologna & mustard or
"plastic" cheese slice with mustard, rarely tuna fish or egg salad,
always on white).  Mom would always place the cookie on top of the
sanwich so by lunch time we had a soggy cookie and a big stale spot in
the middle of the sandwich.  It was really bad when she wrapped the
sandwiches in wax paper; a few years after she started working, she
started buying sandwich bags with the fold in flap and tuck over cuff.
Then the cookie was put on the fold in flap--but when she'd lift the bag
to fold over the cuff, the cookie would slide off the flap and not
ususally spotted and replaced on the flap. I wasn't fond of PB to begin
with but after 12 years of it, I really hated it. I can make a PB
sandwich for Steve without gagging but don't ask me to eat a PB cookie
or anything else similar.

-> that your settings don't dissolve as you're enjoying that bowl of pasta
-> & the stones drop in. (G)

 RH> That is one of the drawbacks of acids.

Yes, it could be a problem.

->  RH> Yep - but you're still a Yankee.
 RH> ->
-> In reality, yes but having lived in the south for so long.........OTOH,
-> my dad has been in Margaretville for close to 60 years and is considered
-> by some still a newcomer.  So, it goes for the north as well as the
-> south I guess.

 RH> Yep - swamp yankees can be worse about it than anyone else.

Well, we've been accepted in our church without question. (G)

->  RH> Oh dear.  That could be nasty.
 RH> ->
-> Agreed.  I did try it but suffice it to say, if given the option, I'd
-> rather have something else.  At luaus, the poi, poke and lomi-lomi
-> salmon are usually served in paper cups on the buffet table so you could
-> take it if you wanted, or just leave it.  I left the first couple but
-> did take the salmon.

 RH> I'd have to try it all at least once, just for the experience.  After
 RH> that, I'd probably leave the poi behind.

I tried poi but not poke.  Just a bit uneasy, knowing some of the health
problems I have.

Talked to Rachel yesterday; they'd gone to AZ for Christmas but took
Robert's truck (wrapped) to give to him.  It was a HUGE (!!!!!!!) hit
with him. (G) We also sent a Veggie Tale Bob the Tomato play doh set and
money to buy a Big Wheel.
