 NB>> Last Christmas (or thereabouts) I finally had a chance to sample
 NB>> Drambuie... I was actually less than impressed...  but then, I'm more

 ML> It's sweetened Scotch with Simon and Garfunkel herbs, essentially.
 ML> Good for those who don't love Scotch but want to.

That's what I found out.  Not so good for someone who enjoys single malt
neat and uncorrupted...  ;)  Got my curiosity well satisfied, though... ;)

 ML>> I really don't see why they don't routinely do that -
 ML>> what's 15 minutes as opposed to 30?
 NB>> In this case, I think they try to push it at about 30 minutes...
 NB>> some times they've gone for an hour, which is fine by me... I'm
 NB>> not needing to rush off and do anything, and allow plenty of time
 NB>> for that appointment, just in case I need the expected infusion
 ML> So why not add a bit more fluid to minimize the chances of
 ML> irritation and do an hour - it's not as though you're using
 ML> that much extra in the way of resources during the time.
 
Protocol...?  or perceived protocol...?  I think that my next infusion
may be using the "this one needs less irritation" protocol, they said
something about notating it in the record last time...  ;)  

 NB>> They put all their hopes on the SWAT team when they get the hard
 NB>> ones... hard for them to realize it's even worse than they thought.. 
 ML> And when the SWAT team calls for a PICC, it's time to demand to
 ML> be let out of the hospital (which is what I did).
 
As long as one can walk on one's own two feet...  (G)

 NB>> I usually get my infusions in the back of my hand... sometimes those
 NB>> veins are more cooperative than the ones in the crook of the elbow...
 NB>> If they can use the smaller needles, it's actually easier that way
 NB>> for me.
 ML> All the more reason to take a full hour.

I'm in full agreement with that.  :)

 ML>> P.S. I just went to Facebook for the first time since
 ML>> Thanksgiving to see if she'd posted any more vegan
 ML>> recipes and discovered on her status a few hours ago
 ML>> that she had pork tenderloin for dinner.
 NB>> You have indeed corrupted her... ;)  Except... if bacon's a veggie,
 NB>> is pork a veggie, too...?  ;)
 ML> 'course.

So that should be legal for a vegetarian... ;)  As long as they accept
the definition...  ;)

 ML> One of her other friends, fairly militant about a lot of
 ML> things (to the point where as she spells her name "Sharyn"
 ML> in order to excise the hated male-dominated word "ron"),
 ML> read right past my dig about veganism and went all preachy
 ML> about how vegetarians sometimes need animal protein. Goofy.

One that protests too strongly, apparently...  :)  Trying to excuse
lapses, perhaps...?   :)

 ML> Zucchini ricotta lasagne

Substitute eggplant for the zucchini, and it wouldn't be bad at all,
even missing the meat...  ;)

ttyl       neb

... Haggis is defined, of course, as dining on a full stomach.
