Hi Michael,
Smartass answer: But you don't use your knee
to write with, do you?
No, but I will be fogged out from the anesthesia and painkillers for
the > first few days.
Could be some interesting posts, then.
I probably will not even feel up to doing much the first few post op
days so don't be too surprised if you don't see anything from me. Steve
will probably post a note after I get out of surgery to update folks
here, however.
Less smartass answer: Okay, I hope Nancy and I
can take up the slack. Maybe someone else can
help, too.
I'm sure there will be no problems in that department.
You'd be surprised. There's a delicate balance
in the ecology of the echo, sort of like Conway's
game of life. You play an integral role in this.
But as it turns out there was some sort of short
blockage, and I have been intermittent (not that
I'd know how to fix anything), so traffic was in
fact down by a bit.
Plus, Marc Lewis did some tinkering with his board and forgot to get the
feed checked for here, for a few days. Steve e-mailed him, asking about
it; that got the flow going again. I thought I'd uploaded my replies
over 2 days but a minor glitch in the system made them all go out on one day--sorry for unintentionally going over the limit of 20 per day. All
is back to normal now.
Nonsmartass answer: Wishing you the best of luck.
Thanks, I'll be glad to not have the pain.
Yes. One day spent finding Lilli orthopedic
help on this mostly good but at times
frustrating trip leads me to sympathize
with you even more..
Hopefully nothing serious but good thing you were around and able to
help out. We were at a quilting retreat for the last 3 days--the knee is hurting more today because I was up and down from my machine to the
ironing station, then pinning rows, back to the sewing machine for a
good bit of today. Yesterday I was able to wear the brace because I was
doing a lot of cutting. Anyway, we all bring in goodies--one lady's
husband always makes a NY style cheesecake for the retreats. He did so
this time, and, as usual, it was very good. There's never any left over
at the end of the retreat. (G)
It's the person doing the flying who get the
credits. Otherwise the travel agents would be
really rich.
We didn't really look into it. She flys down (from NY to FL) on a regular basis to look after Mom & Dad H so she's welcome to use the credits if she did get them.
And of course if it's someone you care about,
there's no sense fussing about a little
imbalance now and again.
No, she does a lot for Mom and Dad so we don't fuss. She's a BSRN so
keeps us updated on medical issues they're having--hopefully no
emergency trips down to FL like we made last March when Dad had the
heart attack.
I'm not going to consider any of them unless I have no other
choice. > ML> Good idea, and remember to bring your parachute.
And water bottle. Spirit is coming to RDU also this year.
I'm not thrilled for you.
I"m not flying them. Delta added a couple more flights, but they are to
places we have no (known) need to fly in/out of, so it's not a concern
at the moment. The past few years, the airline of choice for us has been Southwest, Delta being a 2nd choice.
But the fresh grated nut meg is so much better than the stuff you
buy > pre grated who knows how long ago. Especially if it's in the
plastic
jars.
I haven't spent much time worrying about
nutmegs, but I agree that fresh grated whole
tastes better than that weird stuff.
Which is what I was raised with. Don't know what my parents would have
done if I'd brought home a nut meg and grater for their egg nog. Never
did, but just thinking about what the reation might have been.......(G)
Well, I can't speak for you, but I think
there's more off-topic here than a vigilant
moderator would allow. Luckily for everyone,
The moderator is quite liberal on that.
And if he gets out of line, I am still
flexible enough to kick him in the bottom.
As needed. (G)
I tried. Success.
Good, I presume.
I have a list of scripture tag lines that I don't use, just
to be on > ML> the > safe side.
Thanks for that. I was going to say something
to your husband about Happy the man that findeth
wisdom, but then I reflected that that's totally
uncontroversial and isn't really religion specific.
Basically what he suggested to me when I asked him about it.
There are pretty universal good things that
it's not a problem to tout. If you're posting
something that focuses on one religion, whether
it be Christianity, Judaism, or Islam or whatever,
that's pushing it.
I'll still keep these in the file, but not use them unless a specific
one is warranted.
And you laughed and laughed ... .
Probably so; I don't remember if I did or not as that dog has been
gone > for a good many years.
Other dogs preferred to tangle with porcupines.
Equally troublesome for you - and more
dangerous for them.
Dad would try to pull them out with a pair of pliers but would
usually > end up taking the dog to the vet.
Some patience required, both on the part of
the surgeon and the dog.
He probably gave the dog a sedative, safer for him and the dog that way.
as it's more effective that way, but of course
there's the corn sensitivity issue that some
may have issues with.
Steve doesn't seem to be bothered by corn starch. I've used it in various things and not gotten any feed back about a migraine aura.
But > yes, I've noticed that it does act somewhat differently than
flour when > used as a thickener.
Very differently in fact; each has its uses.
Yes, and they're both in my kitchen.
Corn muffins
categories: all-American, starch, celebrity, low-corn
servings: 24 to 36
That's a no go around here, sadly. They'd go well with chili
but.....
Rice Bran Muffins
categories: starch, breads, g/f
yield: 12
1 1/2 c gluten-free flour of any kind
1/2 c rice bran
3 ts baking powder
1 ts cinnamon
1/2 ts sea salt
1 c skim milk or applesauce
1/4 c oil
1/2 c honey
2 egg whites, beaten
1 c dried or fresh blueberries (opt)
I'd aadd the taste--blueberries or other berries. Interesting that
they're called rice bran muffins, with only half a cup of that
ingredient used. (G)
