Hi Hap,

-> Don't you know a cold will last 7 days if you treat it, a week if you
-> don't? Hopefully it hasn't morphed into bronchitis or worse.

 hn> Turned out to not be a cold...sinusitis
 hn> infection. It has stayed in my head and

No fun; that's what I thought I was getting before it went south and
into bronchitis.


 hn> nothing seems to have gone to my chest
 hn> so far. Have been using a neti pot quite
 hn> a bit lately and that seems to help.
 hn> Feeling almost human again!

It's a step in the right direction anyway. I used a squeeze bottle with
a saline solution instead of a netti pot. It helped a bit but not enough
to knock the crud completly out.

->  hn> She's starting a grief group this week.

-> That should help; the mutual support/comfort factor can't be measured
-> but is measureable in a group like that.

 hn> She's been to one one on one counselling session
 hn> and one group session, both have helped a lot
 hn> already. She also went to her Doctor and he
 hn> prescribed a mild antidepressant which has
 hn> taken the "edge" off a bit and allowed her to
 hn> get some decent sleep for a change. Right now
 hn> she's working on her 12th hour asleep...and I'm
 hn> being vewy vewy quiet!

I know they say you can't make up for lost sleep but sometimes you can
come pretty close. (G) Good to hear that the doctor is helping there as
well.

->  hn> close, and Anne is having a very
->  hn> tough time of it right now.

-> And that's why, if you can, you need to take her out of the immediate
-> routine for a day or more.  If not that long, maybe out to dinner at a
-> place you've never been to before. Give her a mental break.

 hn> Tough to do when she's teaching. But this week
 hn> she's on Spring break, so I do plan on keeping
 hn> her "entertained" with little day trips and getaways.

As long as you don't wear yourself out, or overly stress the knee. No
standing in long buffet lines!

-> big pile of the white stuff. Dad shouldn't be shoveling, Mom can't and
-> my brother has to be careful not to over do it on his part.

 hn> We're getting plenty of snow in the mountains.
 hn> Looks like the ski season will go a couple of weeks
 hn> into April with ease...maybe longer! Daffodils are starting
 hn> to bloom and spring is busting out all over!


We've had spring for several weeks and now a hard freeze warning for
tonight. There were some snow flurries just north of us this morning
but it's cleared off again, for a day or two. Steve has covered the
lettuce and oregano, figures the parsley will need a reseed anyway so
it's left in the open.

-> nobody went hungry.

 hn> That's the important part!


Definatly! I'd bought a small box of salad greens earlier in the week
but stretched it out with carrots, tomatoes, mung and alfalfa bean
sprouts. The last two items were fresh grown here at home.

-> OK, I'll watch out for my fingers if we ever get out that way.

 hn> She likes ladies...she "likes" the way men taste!!

Appreciate the head's up there.

-> -> the pickle aisle, they had the Gundelsheim pickles so you don't have to
-> -> go to a German foods specialty store to find them. Check your local
-> -> supermarkets.

->  hn> Have not seen them yet...but I have not
->  hn> been looking real hard lately.

-> Can't blame you if you're not feeling well. We tried the eggs we'd put
-> into the pickle juice and the unanimous decision was that we like red
-> beet eggs better.  The other day at Lowe's, when we checked out, we got
-> surprise coupons--good for 15% off total meat purchase & 20% off total
-> produce purchase, good thru April 4 (after pay day). Stock up and save.

 hn> I like em both ways, but have to say
 hn> I make the simple dill pickle juice ones
 hn> the most often...they're dead easy to
 hn> do and taste sooo good!

We'll try them that way if we can find a dill pickle that is worth
buying.
