======================
sisters:
 RH> And even now, that's a hard one to treat effectively. I've a sister
 RH> who had problems in her teens; she's functional now but the effects of
 RH> it are noticeable.

Not that it makes any difference, but I wonder if it's
effects or residuum. If my brother were to get significantly
better (I don't hold out too high hopes) in the processing
department, would the memories and habits be too heavy to
ignore, and would his life still continue to suffer because
of that.

mothers:
 RH> That's true of just about anything but I guess your mom was affected
 RH> extra hard by some of what was thrown at her.

I admit that a lot was thrown at her, and I admit that
there's major nutso in our family history, but she seemed
really over the top in her looniness, and it was difficult
to tolerate, let alone like, her.

 RH> Sounds like my mom; she doesn't like to take the pills that could ease
 RH> her arthritis pain as she's afraid of becoming addicted. It's clear
 RH> that if Dad goes first, she can't live by herself. What isn't clear is
 RH> how we/she will handle that when the time comes.

But in your mom's case, if the pain gets too too awful, she
might be convinced to take medications. With a mentally ill
person, the delusions may include that drugs aren't necessary
or won't do any good. Or are poison.

By the way, did I tell you that simple Tylenol has improved
my life this week so much I hardly have words - the crick in
my neck has nearly disappeared, and I feel pretty darn good.
It had never really worked for me before, and I marvel for
the first time at modern 20th century analgesic pharmacology.

-
brothers:
 RH> Being a later in life baby probably didn't help much either in that
 RH> regard. He didn't have his siblings at home to take some of the
 RH> "heat". 

A point I've made repeatedly: there but for the grace of my
sister go I. Taking part of the heat (though until I left
altogether she got a lot less than I did), bouncing ideas of
sanity off each other, and uniting against a common enemy
(which didn't happen either until I left the household).

 ML> flying on 9/11 every year since the attack). Other than
 ML> that, to my knowledge, he never leaves the Maryland-DC
 ML> area, though he used to go to Virginia to work.
 RH> Somewhat of the agoraphobia there. But, he's not totally housebound.
 
Same with me, hard though that may be to believe.

==
 RH> Soyou say. Beets me how you get in such pickles.
 ML> It's my bread and butter. My fault - when looking for
 ML> a traveling companion, I pick a Lilli.
 RH> But your jokes are getting rather silly.

I can't help it - they come out willy-nilly.

  Season salmon steaks with ground lemon myrtle and sear lightly on each
  side. Blanch the warrigal greens until just wilted and spread out on
  bench to form a rectangle, place a knob of butter in the centre and
  wrap the warrigal greens around each seared salmon steak.

  Mix together the crust ingredients.

  Place each wrapped steak on a dampened paperbark sheet and cover with
  a layer of crust over the salmon. Trim edges of bark with scissors
  then wrap into a bonbon shape, allowing a little opening for steam to
  escape. Use string to tie the bark at each end.

  Place the parcel(s)on a baking tray, cover with tin foil and bake in
  moderate oven for 12-15 minutes.

  Serve each parcel with a side dish of salsa

  Salsa Method Halve the lillipillies and remove seeds. In a bowl,
  whisk the mustard and vinegar then add all the other ingredients. Mix
  well.
