Hi Hap,

 hn> Wednesday eveining, I've been busy taking care
 hn> of Annie who's down with the piggyplague. Dr ordered


It's a drop dead gorgeous sunny late October Thursday afternoon here. No
fun, keep pushing the chicken soup. It's a good thing that computer
viruses (viri?) are the only thing that travel thru the air & Steve has
lots of protection on our systems.

 hn> her to stay home till Monday...otherwise she'd be trying
 hn> to sneak in the building to deliver lesson plans for the
 hn> substitute!!

That's dedicated teaching but she needs to stay home.

 hn> Ahhh, summer weather, I miss it already...LOL

I wouldn't mind what we're having today year round.

 hn> really quick if you let it!

I know.  Steve can get some of his work done thru the VA but I can't.
We're dealing with co pays again--for a while, we had to pay a Tri-care
one while Steve was active duty. Somebody wised up and eliminated that
but now that he's retired, it's back.

 hn> meaning you let them know before they

The latter.  I could out tough some of the guys who were there for
therapy but didn't have as high a pain tolerance.

True, but that can get old fast.

-> It's your choice. (G)

 hn> Funny the way our preferences work with some
 hn> dishes!

Very true.  I was raised on only garlic salt (gag) but took to cooking
with fresh garlic and garlic powder when I married Steve.  Almost but
not quite the same with onions; my dad allowed some fresh for cooking
but very little (he had stomach trouble, probably pre ulcers, garlic &
onion didn't sit well) but he did let my mom use some onion powder as
well.
