 RH>> Less for my other brother to have to clean out later. We took a number

 RH>> my great grandfather.
 NB>> Exactly.  Sounds like you got a nice haul there...  :)

 RH> We have to make a list and get it out for my siblings to say if they
 RH> want any or not. I know my one brother has already said he's not
 RH> interested but we have to do the list, so others can decide. I've a

Possibly someone would want it as a remembrance, but it does seem as
though it is more the sort of thing that you'd be more interested in
than they would be...  :)

 NB>> You'll get that recipe eventually..  :)   Our pastor's youngest was
 NB>> born at home under similar circumstances... waiting for
 NB>> transportation, and the baby just dropped into his hands... ;)  He's
 NB>> a fine young man nowadays... maybe 8 or 9...?

 RH> It happens. This is baby #3 for the couple. We used to say that at
 RH> the first twinge of labor if we had a 3rd, we'd make tracks to the
 RH> hospital as mine were so fast.

That would have been good planning...  ;)  The other factor being that
by the later babies, one might not really notice the early labor, or
discount as merely Braxton-Hicks..  ;) 
 
 RH>>>> Well, at least you know what an apple tastes like.
 NB>>>> True...  in all its myriad visages...  ;)
 RH>>> Should I be like Bubba in Forrest Gump and list different ways
 RH>>> to serve an apple (shrimp)?
 NB>>> Nope.  ;)   I can do it just fine myself...  [g]
 RH>> I know, but when you said something about the myriad ways an apple
 RH>> can be used in, I thought of that.
 NB>> No surprise there...  ;)  I've been known, many a time, to list the
 NB>> long list...  ;0

 RH> On paper or just mentally? On paper, others can see what's there add
 RH> to it. Harder to do that with a mental list. (G)

Usually orally..  ;)   I think doing it on paper would just be way too
discouraging... ALL the ways I can't enjoy apples any more, and there in
black and white forever and ever, amen...!   ;0   I can give the
recitation at the picnic, if you so desire...  (G)
 
 RH>> It's hard to remember everybody's problems, even in a relatively small
 RH>> congregation. We've a friend in AZ who can't have any green veggies
 RH>> because of the chlorophyll, another odd allergy.
 NB>> Exactly... and the odder the allergy, the less likely one will
 NB>> remember unless there's some reason to...

 RH> You would think an odd allergy would be remembered easier.

Sorta... but then, since it isn't "normal", often what might be
remembered is just "Nancy's allergic to something odd"...  Some of the
demonstrators at Wegmans remember that I can't have apples, especially
the ones that we tend to talk with on a regular basis...

 NB>> Of course.  :)   I did, BTW, ask Eric what his chicken marinade was...
 NB>> turned out to be Wishbone Italian dressing...  :)  I told him the
 NB>> curious wanted to know...  (G)

 RH> I'm not surprised. Thanks for verifying my hunch. It's an easy do
 RH> marinade that really adds a lot of flavor.

I'm not usually that fussy about my cooking..  (G)

ttyl            neb

... Psychiatry is the care of the id, by the odd.
