Hey Michael!

Probably an accurate assessment..but
with what was available on the market
not a likely acquisition. The M's were
only in the market with Bedard because
he was on a one year contract and we'd
get nothing for him at the end of the year,
he's having a "decent" year..and we are so
far out of the running for a pennant that
to keep him was dumb.

Fister IS good, once he gets in the
groove again he'll be doing really well.
I miss him on the mound, he pitched well
for us but got the worst run support of
any pitcher in baseball this year. The 
lack of the ability to score runs has
really killed the Mariners this year.
Even Ichriro does not look like 
a top notch player this year.  It will 
also be the first year that he won't 
make 200 hits, and the first year
he won't get a gold glove, and the
first year he wasn't on the All Star
team. Not sure what is going on 
with him this year!

Working good yes....cheap...not by a

-> 1 syringe = $4.15 + $2. Or diphenhydramine oral liquid,

We have the tabs...and yes it DOES
help!

Sad commentary....it used to be a really
good beer...even at the legally mandated
3.2 %!

Just about any exertion at all 
will wear Anne out and give 
rise to the need for a nap. 
I'm not complaining, I'm glad she's
doing so well, considering the 
high toxicity of the chems she's 
getting in this first round..the 
final infusion of this first round
is on Monday so I'm hoping the 
side effects will diminish with 
the second (and hopefully much easier)
round.

My pills are 500mg each..they have a 12 on them
and I take 750mg (one and a half pills) in the
morning, and 1000mg (two pills) in the evening.
so far it's working well, my A1C has dropped from
7.5 to 6.4 and the doc seems to be quite happy
with that!
chat with you soon!
