Hi Ruth,

-> My aunt was born in the 1910's; I think 1914.  She gave one of her
-> daughters the name as a middle name, as we did with our younger
-> daughter, Deborah. Also, another of her daughters named a daughter Ruth
-> Mary (used the double first name) so it's been in my family for several
-> generations.  How much it goes beyond the 3rd, I don't know if my
-> cousins continued it.  So far, none of my siblings have; the 2 that have
-> kids had boys.  Rachel chose another name for her girl, Deborah is still
-> waiting on a husband.

 RH> My sister's name is Doretta.  It was our grandmother's name,
 RH> great-grandmother's name, and great-great-grandmother's name.  Her
 RH> daughter has it as a middle name. I'm not sure how far back it
 RH> actually goes.  I should have been Doretta but my mom named me for her
 RH> two best friends

So, it's still descending.


 RH> instead.  My mother was supposed to be another Ruth, but Grandpa spoke
 RH> Polish and German before learning English and couldn't pronounce a
 RH> "th" sound to save his neck.  Grandma didn't want a daughter named
 RH> Root.(LOL)

Good for him. (G)

->  RH> probably need to unhook myself from the 12-hour nasal sprays as

-> Yes, try a saline one instead.  Something like a teaspoon of salt in 8
-> ounces of warm water, use as often as needed.  Inexpensive as can be and
-> it works.

 RH> I use a Neti pot daily as it is.  The saline doesn't open anything up,
 RH> just cleans it out.

Helps me, as does an occaisional saline rinse.

-> Can't concentrate it like that but you could combine partial boxes of
-> softened ice cream into one, stirring well.  Could get some rather
-> unusual flavors that way. (G)

 RH> Just as long as it's not Botts Every Flavor Ice cream.  They used to
 RH> just make jelly beans, but word is they've branched out.

I could just imagine--if I really wanted to. Somehow, I don't think I
want to.  (G)
