Hi Janis,

 JK> > Hope all goes (went) well with your exam. I don't envy you going to

 JK> All went just fine as usual, just have to make my appearance :)

Good; that's the kind of news you want to hear. I have an appointment
next month with the radiation oncolgy doctor; based on the mammogram and
ultrasound results, it should go well also.

 JK> > the Garment District. Keep hydrated tho.

 JK> Nah, we decided to head right for home, we were just too busy this
 JK> week.. it's been a busy week over here.

I can understand.

 JK> When we buy it we buy Bryers all Natural so there's no HFCS.. other

That's generally what we buy too.  Reading labels, tho, sometimes a
store brand will be just as good, surprisingly.


 JK> than that I also make it with my wooden bucket ice cream maker.. it's
 JK> neat, you fill it up with ice cubes and layer the ice with salt and
 JK> cold water, and put a canister filled with cream in it, that has a
 JK> paddle in it in the midst of the bucket of ice.. a contraption on the
 JK> top turns the paddle in the canister.. it's
 JK> electric.. and yup, 15 or 20 minutes later you have ice cream.. but

That's what my parents used to have. My mom would set it on the kitchen
floor over newspaper as the salt and ice water leaked out as the ice
melted.  If we had enough snow outside, she would put it into a snow
bank to harden.

 JK> truely, when it's that hot, 15 minutes is to long for me. I've been
 JK> known to stick my darn head in the freezer or eat ice cubes to cool
 JK> off (g) Even aspirin helps a little. They sell vests now to cool off
 JK> people who have MS but I've never bought one :) They sound very

Anything to help.  Sit in front of an air conditioner going full blast.

 JK> strange.. I have another ice cream maker that is a faster in a sense..
 JK> you freeze the bowl overnight, then fill it the next day, attach it to
 JK> machine etc.. and 15/20 minutes later you have ice cream.. same story

It just makes you think it's faster. (G)

 JK> > compounding of the year's events for the exteded family but there's
 JK> no > real narraion as to what it is, who's who, etc.

 JK> My aunts had theirs copied over to a CD recently so I guess that's the
 JK> new method of transport (g).

Until something newer in technology comes out,like blu-ray.

>> > $15.00, total.

>> Per person?

 JK> > No, for the 2 of us. And by drinks, I mean a soda or tea, no booze.

 JK> Figured that's what you meant for the price, really (soda or tea), but
 JK> $15.00 is very inexpensive for two :)


And good food too, if you liked it.  We took friends who had come to HI
a few weeks after we did to one. They ordered the regular plates with 2
scoops of rice and 4 vegetable choices in addition to the meat. He's
very much a meat and potatoes guy so he ordered the teriyaki steak.  She
can't stand anything hotter than a bell pepper asked for kim chee as one
of her vegetable choices. (We weren't aware of their choices or would
have made other suggestions.)  Needless to say, neither of them ever
wanted to go back to places like that again. OTOH, I took other friends
who enjoyed it, but not all of them ordered kim chee. (G)


>> all I remember is "flat" (grin).. then, there were also some other
>> beautiful areas as well not too far from there, like Tennessee.. what
>> mountains there :) :)

 JK> > Sigh! We're coming back from the picnic the "inland" way (vs I-95)
 JK> so > will go thru the mountains in western VA and NC.

 JK> Should get your mountain fix at least :)

For a bit, anyways. Wrong time of the year for a color display but gotta
take what I can get.
