Hi Nancy,

Yes, and I don't let mu splurges get way out of control. Some junk one
day, then strict carb control for a few more, then ease back on the
strictness but keep well in control. That's how I can allow some goodies
from time to time but not every day.

I use guafenisin regularly, have had the tessalon pearls from time to
time as well. Some of my military doctors perscribed them but none of my
civilian ones have since Steve retired. But yes, I will try my best to
get a non steroidal alternative when I'm having trouble with the asthma
or bronchitis.

 RH> Yes, but I still want the cinnamon/sugar taste on toast so that's why

I will, but probably after we get back from Florida next month.

 NB> If he really wants more, he could have a whole one to himself as well,

He could, but probably won't. He'd more likely go for something else to
munch on, something I wouldn't neccessarily want to munch on but
wouldn't mind if he did.
