===========================
Welcome Home Ruth!

-> -> 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.
-> 
->  hn> We are always happy to chat with Amanda.
->  hn> We really enjoy the video chat feature of
->  hn> Gmail. She's just a mouse click away!
-> 
-> So are our kids. We're back in NC now, talked to Deborah and saw Logan
-> yesterday in a canning break. We'd finished the tomatoes (20 pints) and
-> were gearing up to start the peaches (13 pints) that we'd picked up in
-> PA on our way down.
->
The only thing I ever did in pint jars was
my hot pepper jellies. Everything else was
always the quart jars...wide mouth Kerr jars
if I remember rightly (grin).
 
-> -> 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> Yep, and to me those three you listed taste
->  hn> more like each other than any of them do
->  hn> to chicken.
-> 
-> I've only had checken of the above 4 meats so I can't give an opinion.
->
Which is why they are often described as 
"tasting like" chicken. Everyone knows what
chicken tastes like...well except for vegetarians
I guess (grin).
 I suppose then you'd have to say it
tastes like Tofu??
 
-> ->  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> Or Your tastebuds may vary! (grin)
-> 
-> That's for sure! Michael would probably taste different nuances in each
-> of them that most of us couldn't pick up.
->
Yep, I'm not so good on the nuances!
 
-> ->  hn> and the little legless froggies
-> ->  hn> get little carts to pull themselves
-> ->  hn> around in!
-> 
-> -> How do legless frogs pull themselves around?
-> 
->  hn> they have those little bitty
->  hn> front legs!
-> 
-> Probably not so itty bitty after building muscle to pull the carts
-> around. (G)
->
Little froggies with Popeye arms!
-> 
-> ->  hn> she got it cut off and is now
-> ->  hn> "clean headed".
-> 
-> -> Saves on the cost of shampoo and conditioner. (G)
-> 
->  hn> Yep...and she's getting a little
->  hn> more used to it. although the chemo
->  hn> also affects her follicles and makes
->  hn> her whole head "tingly" and not in
->  hn> a good way, she says it's almost a
->  hn> "nervous" feeling.
-> 
-> Hopefully that will dissapate over time as her body adjusts to the
-> treatments.
->
I'm thinking "succumbs" more than 
"adjusts"...she had her third (of four)
infusion this week. She's still holding
her own!
 
-> ->  hn> I'm right there all the time.
-> 
-> -> No surprise there.
-> 
->  hn> Nope, we're in it to win it!
-> 
-> Aren't we all? Fight each day's battle as it comes along. (Sufficient
-> for the day is the evil thereof.)
->
When I was in with Anne on Monday
there was a lady getting her infusion 
in the station right next to ours...she was
just a mean spirited woman and had nothing
nice to say about anyone or anything...
I'd think the experience of having cancer
would give someone a bit of a more 
understanding view of things...but
I guess some tigers will never change
those stripes!
 
-> -> -> The wig may take some getting used to; she may find herself happier
-> -> -> without it. Ultimately, it's her choice.
-> 
->  hn> Right now the wig is "too much"
->  hn> for her, but she has a couple of
->  hn> nice microfiber hats, and a
->  hn> scarf that her mother used.
-> 
-> Sounds good.
-> 
-> ->  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
->  hn> or
-> -> two of inattention and wild throw in an attempt to compensate.
-> 
->  hn> The M's had a good one as well...Brendan
->  hn> Ryan our shortstop got a good single
->  hn> the A's shortstop managed to snag it
->  hn> and threw to first base. too late...but
->  hn> Ryan noticed that NO ONE was covering
->  hn> second base...so he took off for second!
->  hn> When he got to second...he noticed NO
->  hn> ONE was covering third...so he took off
->  hn> AGAIN...and turned a single into a triple
->  hn> just by heads up baserunning...I'll bet
->  hn> there were some good chewing out
->  hn> coming out of the A's locker room
->  hn> for those who missed their coverages!
-> 
-> I suspect so. Right now it looks like the Mets will probably finish 3rd
-> in their division, barring any melt downs on their part or the teams
-> ahead of them.
-> 
-> -
LOoks like the Mariners are playing for
"Draft choices" for next season now! 
we are in the cellar and digging for 
china!
chat with you soon!
