Hi Hap,

->  hn> We use G-chat and G videochat...about the same.
->  hn> Amanda left today for home in California, so we

-> I suspect she will either call or get a call from you at some point
-> today. (G)

 hn> We stay in contact fairly often.

Gee, why am I not surprised? We're at my parents for a few days, Skyped
with Rachel and kids last night to the delight of all.

-> "Tastes like chicken" seems to be the common go to when the imagination
-> refuses to come up with anything better.

 hn> I think it's the "go to" description for
 hn> anything that's rather bland and not a
 hn> really strong distinctive flavor. Like I

Seems so as anything from rattlesnake to alligator to frog legs and all
in between and outside of is supposed to taste like chicken.


 hn> stated above, I don't think it tastes
 hn> like chicken at all..

As with most things, it's a case of YMMV.


->  hn> most of my frog legs were "wild" I can't say
->  hn> what farm raised (yep they do that) frog legs
->  hn> taste like.

-> They actually raise frog legs? Do they have a separate facility for
-> raising the rest of the frog? (G)

 hn> Nope, they raise em together
 hn> and separate them  after...
 hn> and the little legless froggies
 hn> get little carts to pull themselves
 hn> around in!

How do legless frogs pull themselves around?

-> No fun to have a headache like that in good times, even less fun at a
-> time like this.

 hn> Surprising..and it hung around for about 3
 hn> days!

Nasty!

-> Hair today, gone tomorrow. Sigh! here's where having a good sense of
-> humor about it will help.

 hn> she got it cut off and is now
 hn> "clean headed".

Saves on the cost of shampoo and conditioner. (G)

->  hn> to lean on. Also it affects her hormonal

-> Understandable. Just keep your arm handy. (G)

 hn> I'm right there all the time.

No surprise there.

->  hn> the hair dressers and get her
->  hn> shaved and hopefully more comfortable.

-> The wig may take some getting used to; she may find herself happier
-> without it. Ultimately, it's her choice.

->  hn> I think I'm pretty much "done" for
->  hn> working at the ballpark this season.

-> No surprise there. The way the Ms are going, you're not missing much
-> real baseball tho. (G)

 hn> I still miss it, and even when we lose
 hn> there's often a few good plays to watch.

Understandable. There's at least one good play in any game, or a comedy
of plays. Mets threw a game away last night on a dumb mistake--moment or
two of inattention and wild throw in an attempt to compensate.

->  hn> she needs me for. I'm planning menus
->  hn> now working around her chemo schedule.
->  hn> The Cancer Resource Center gave me a
->  hn> free cookbook "Eating Well Through Cancer"
->  hn> which has lots of recipes categorized by
->  hn> symptoms and such...which is very helpful

-> Sounds like you got a good deal there. I had my "3 years after finishing
-> treatment" check up today. All's clear (took them a good number of shots
-> tho, to get to that conclusion) so I only have to go once a year now.
-> Yippee!

 hn> Congratulations!! Keep it up!!

Working on it, one day at a time, just like you and Annie are.
