====================
Hiya Ruth!
-> 
-> -> 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.
->
We have both, and I use both, have 
been rinsing several times a day, it really
seems to help. In spite of that it has moved
"south" a bit and now I'm coughing as well. 
 
-> ->  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!
->
No buffet's for us, It's our 38th anniversary on
Thursday so I'm taking her "north" and we'll 
have a nice quiet lunch at some special spot.
 
-> -> 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.
-> 
Parsley can take the cold quite well, I 
think the oregano could as well. 

-> -> -> 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.
-> 
ALL dill pickles are worth buying! 
A good garlic dill or Kosher dill would
be great for the eggs!
chat with you soon!
