Hi Janis,

>> haha.. great saying :)  And I'm glad you're taking it easy!

 JK> Definitely :)  I remember long ago a while after of getting MS, and

No teens living with us now.  It was so refreshing to have Deborah visit
in December--quick in and outs like she used to do.  Thursday night we
went over to one of the local seafood places for supper and realised
we'd not been there since her visit.

 JK> Sounds good :)

We had it last night, and it was good.

 JK> LOL, NO FAIR :) But I'm lucky.. he doesn't have time to read Fidonet

Steve skims, and occaisionally adds a note. He got wordy tho in this
batch.(G)  BTW, we've separate accounts--makes things easier.

At least he appreciated it and wasn't offended.

Helps my sanity a bit there, whatever's left of it anyways.

 JK> > Deborah worked at one in high school. (G)

 JK> Hopefully they didn't make her eat there :)

She was a teen and ate anything that wasn't nailed down. One night she
came home with not only a TB meal but a McD's and proceeded to eat both,
before going to bed not long after.  She was on her JROTC drill team
besides working and going to school--and working up an appetite.

 JK> Sure, understand... the seasonings are great.

That's what makes or breaks sausage.  Steve was out doing some errands
today and brought home a natural cured Canadian bacon for him to try.
He also got me some country ham. (G)

We've learned (from other's horror stories) to make sure things like
that are marked as off limits or put out of the way before the packers
come.  Be glad you had a short move vs an overseas one. (G)  Last time
we moved, I put big masking tape Xs over areas I didn't want them to
pack. I think the kitchen had most of them.

It does add to your perspective of the world. Plus, as you know from
your move to KY, you get to try new foods--just from a different part of
the USA.
