================================
 RH> Doesn't sound like fun to me. I didn't think a pear had that much acid

I'm not sure what it was. It might have been acid - it was a
singularly unsweet pear. In fact, now that I think of it, there
was a certain amount of tannin in this pear.

 RH> Sounds about as smart as what my mom did after one of my younger
 RH> sisters had her tonsils out. My parents were big believers in tomato
 RH> soup, ginger ale and toast as foods for when we were sick so my mom
 RH> fixed a bowl of tomato soup for my sister's lunch.

I had a friend once whose aunt or cousin or something had been to
hospital for an operation. After the operation, one of the nuns
came in with a bowl of tomato soup. The patient (who was very
young at the time) started wailing horribly. It was later determined
that she had thought that this was a big bowl of blood that she had
to eat to replace what had been lost in the procedure.

 ML> Yes, I have a cruel side, too.
 RH> Watch out, it may back fire on you some day. (G)
 
So far it's my nice side that has backfired most. Stories
that I'd put in the echo if it were an adult-only one. I'm
reading a book called The Maestro Myth, which seems to
indicate that in most cases the esteem in which a conductor
is held is in direct proportion to how nasty he is.

 RH> It just doesn't sound that appealing.  I have had my blood pressure
 RH> meds changed in the last few months so now, if I wanted, I can have
 RH> grapfruit juice in the morning with them.  So far I've stayed with
 RH> orange juice but it's nice to know I've the option.

So they know that grapefruit doubles the effect of some of these
medications. So why not have people drink grapefruit juice and
take a half dose of medicine?

 RH> BTW, are you flying into Binghamton on pre picnic Thursday and do you

 RH> freeing Janis from that.

Thanks - I am riding up with the Shipps after all, as getting to
and/or from Binghamton is grossly expensive. I'm planning on
staying at Pumpkin Pine with you and have reserved one room of
the suite for the night after you leave. The Fords have agreed
to take me to Syracuse the next day. I got a great fare: from
Dave Sac's to BWI, followed by an open leg filled by the Shipps,
then Syracuse to BWI, then BWI to Boston, all of this seven
dollars more than Baltimore to Binghamton one way.
