Some days.  Some days ... I had an old Internet handle "Bad Influence" for
a reason!

-> Prednisone only helps me if I have it no more than once a year (or
longer)..

I've had it twice in the past decade; it never did anything.

 your last steroid treatment, lets try to clip this now".. And that's
-> the way it's been since.. Don't know how often you've been on it.. but
you may
-> be like me and not able to tolerate it more than once a year as far as
it being
-> effective.  Then again sometimes you're just left with crap after an
-> exacerbation. :(

In my case, I don't think it does a darned thing.   I don't really get
remissions, so maybe that's why.  

-> > -> Definitely cat-like :)
-> 
-> > Yep.  And one of them I've found loves ham.  That goes double for ham
fat.
-> 
-> 
-> hahahaha :)  I don't think Tina would eat it.. just a guess.. now I want
to try
-> it :)  It just seems so ... anti-kitty :)

Wanting to eat grease is pretty much cat standard. Salty grease?  Even
better.
 
-> > Good move.  I used to can some things, but not low-acid veggies.
-> > Applesauce maybe. I can't eat the stuff from the store.
-> 
-> Yeah, I love applebutter and applesauce made from apples from the
orchard..
-> it's a tradition here in the fall that so far I've been able to continue
(g).

We used to do it with drops, but now orchards won't let you in to get them
any more.  Too much liability.
 
-> >>don't mind > -> doing it... if it helps them, that's good.
-> 
-> > I don't know anyone at this point who can't use some more money.
-> 
-> It's so true, it's sickening.. what an economy.

My sister's company is going to lay off over 1000 people country-wide this
year.
 
-> One of my sisters in Los Angeles fears they will lose their home since
her
-> hubby's job is looking like it will end with the company going bellyup..
Her
-> work is sporadic in the film industry.. so $$ is sometimes few and far
-> between.. but at least they have health insurance from her union work..
that's
-> more than some people have.

Definitely. Health insurance is a big thing.
 
-> > Or more likely, fresh mouse and slightly less fresh fast food.
-> 
-> Umm.. we saw her go after a mouse in the house once, it was comical!! 
She's
-> got 6 toes on her two front feet, and believe it or not, they didn't
work to
-> well to catch that mouse :) :)  She was good at fwapping it around
though Lol..
-> I'd bet she stalked birds.. she's quite a tree climber :)

That doens't surprise me.  I had a polydactyl for a little while, but he
didn't even chase his own tail.  Cats generally use their paws to hold the
mouse and then bite the head off.  
 
-> > -> Sounds neat :)  I have a meat grinder attachment for my KitchenAid
->

-> 
-> Ah that would be neat.  I flake groats here with my food mill.. we buy
them in
-> bulk at a site http://honeyvillegrain.com.. they are really neat people
:) Also
-> where I get wheat berries for the food mill to grind flour.

I've used wheat berries a few times.  The recipe was something my
grandmother used, and as far as I know something her mother used.  Said mom
learned to cook before the Spanish-american war, which is one reason I
think it called for steel-cut.
 
-> > Too true.  I'm none too fond of ground beef anyway.
-> At least you feel like you've got a chance of survival if you grind up a
steak
-> :)

Who'd grind up a steak?  I'd grill up a steak!
 
-> > -> Very true.. so do dogs.. I've always thought it was funny to see a
dog
-> > love
-> > -> eating the stuff :)
-> 
-> > It's fueled many a UTube video!
-> 
-> 
-> hahahahaha that is true :)

It's like cats sleeping in sinks.  Everyone has seen a critter do it, and
it's always good for a laugh.
