Well, really the idea is to not have surgery ever if we can get it stable.

Yeah, my Mom wants me to get Fosamax.  Me, I want no drugs I do not really
need.

Try 1/4 cup red wine vinegar and see how it works?  I have o objections othr
than taste to a wine in food, so often use sake for the same effect without
the flavor added.

I've had a few tht used a 1/2 can flat beer to good effect if that doesnt
bother either of you?

I just avoid it.  Too many bad experiences.

Chocolate covered brussels?  Humm!  Naw.

Ok, whomp-n-stomp never had that name in MM and will have to go back and add
that, but it's more a method than a recipe.

He's got a built in fur coat, and an outer wrap sort with fiber-fill.

It's a blue coat, looks 'boy' enough to make hubby happy, not that Cash would
care if it was pink with ruffles.

Hello!  We had to hold it in place ans tie it as she was trying to climb
before it was tied down!  Meantime, it has a delicate inner swirl of white
fur on ll the heavy branches.  frisky cat climbs in it at night then gives
the innocent 'who me?' look as we pluck white fur out of it.
