Hi Michael,

 ML> Me, too, but consider my general lack of fondness for
 ML> bread of any kind.
 RH> OTOH, we would have not darkened his door after the initial
 RH> appointment.

 ML> I have a higher tolerance for silliness, lack of
 ML> bedside manner, and even unnknowledge, but when
 ML> it becomes what I call malignant stupidity, that's
 ML> when I draw the line, and there's no going back
 ML> from that, with anyone in any sphere.


(doctor referred to below)

This guy told Steve he didn't need a CPAP machine because his sleep
apnea was only mild, tried telling me he could treat my asthma in his
office (without having any pulminary function testing equipment),
refused to look at any of the past 26 years of medical history, told us
in so many words "Me doctor, you patient; you shut up and I'll tell you
what's wrong with you"...............................................
need I continue?  See why we went with a doctor we could talk to?


 ML>  When we first moved to WF, we tried a local doctor. He was
 RH> not a good match for either Steve or me so we found another one, fast!
 RH> From what we've heard, other people have had issues with the first
 RH> doctor so it was good to know it wasn't just our impressions.

 ML> Doesn't really matter, even if it was just you. If it didn't
 ML> work, it didn't work.

It just did not work. The one we changed to was one that we could talk
to, she always asked about family issues, how school was going, etc. She
also spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out what Steve could do
for his cholesterol without having to go on a statin.

 ML> I seemed about to have one just now, but the magnesium
 ML> tip has served me well.
 RH> If I can catch it in time, something with a bit of caffiene will knock
 RH> it out for me. Otherwise it takes something stronger.

 ML> But for me caffeine tends to trigger the migraines, not
 ML> alleviate them. I've experimented with smaller doses of
 ML> it - results are mixed.

Having started the day with a cuppa tea for so many years, I'll get a
major migraine if I don't have it. Just the bit of caffeine in that
helps ward them off.


 ML> BANANA BREAD
 ML> cat: airline, Hawaii
 ML> yield: 1 lg loaf

 ML> 2 eggs
 ML> 1 c sugar
 ML> 1 c corn oil
 ML> 2 1/2 c mashed bananas
 ML> 3 1/2 c Bisquick
 ML> 1 ts baking soda

 ML> Mix eggs, sugar, corn oil and bananas together. Let
 ML> stand. Mix Bisquick and baking soda together. Add wet
 ML> mixture into flour mix and fold in altogether.

 ML> Pour into a 9-x-22-inch pan that has been greased with
 ML> shortening and sprinkled with flour. Bake at 350F for
 ML> 45 min, or until toothpick comes out clean.

 ML> M's note - not sure about the dimensions.

That's not even a baguette pan. Probably 2, maybe 3, 9x5 pans I'd say
most likely 2 pans, given the amount of bisquick.

 ML> Maxine Chang, (the late) Aloha Airlines

I think we took them when we visited Kauai but other times used
Hawaiian. We used to know a pilot for Aloha; he took a job on the main
land after Aloha went belly up.
