Sounds good so far.

It is, the doctor was afraid he'd have to go in and restitch it--not an option either of us was wanting to do, but would have, if it came to
that point.

The more your body copes and the less you have to rely
on the doctors the better.

True, but some people you don't want to see go. Others, OTOH, soon

Makes us realize that it's really not all up to us. We

I maintain that it's true to an overwhelming extent.

There're too many variables and twisty turns.

Quite, so expect the status to remain quo for years to come.

Anyhow, the question of what is justice gets
complicated. Statutes of limitations have a reason
for being.

As long as they're respected and nobody tries to lawyer an exception to policy, I'm ok with that.

But what this means is that reparations are in
essence facultative - a moral rather than a legal
obligation. I am a little uneasy with moral or
ideological mandates taking over from legal ones,
because it can get taken too far pretty quick.

We have to draw align here.

Sinews to me.

You didn't kneed to say that.

Didn't fit the vein of our conversation?

Artery-ble puns are getting a little twisted.

No bones about it, we are stretched rather thin.

Got to manipulate the course of the conversation.

That question was sort of peripheral to your
care - sort of fun to know for next time,
but basically irrelevant unless the wound
keeps opening up, and they go to plan B..

Looks like the Plan B (honey instead of betadine) is working; we could
see definate improvement.

And it tastes better, too.

Is the pollen worse than before? Earlier arriving?

Earlier arriving because of a milder winter so the "season" is lasting longer. Worst of it should be over for the spring shortly but then the
summer grasses and fall ragweed types will follow on.

Yeah, well. I've noticed the northward march of tropical
and subtropical species since the 1960s. One wonders how
far it can be taken - will there be kudzu in Yellowknife?

I don't understand why the consuming public tolerates it.

Advertising? Cascade seems to be one brand that does do a lot of

that.
I wouldn't know.

I've seen it advertised enough o tv. Finish Quantum seems to be
advertising more (or maybe I'm more aware of it) than they used to.

No TV for me. Can you or anyone else recommend an
unscented dishwasher soap, preferably in pods? Because
all three of the ladies in whose kitchens I dwell are
too lazy to measure liquid or powder detergent any more.

The white chocolate couverture on the outside of Sweet Sloops
makes one almost forget it's not real; and the molded cacao
shell at Xochi, whatever that's made out of is an ecceptable
second place finisher.

Worth trying at least; I I have tried the Sweet Sloops, some years ago
but not the Xochi.

For a while, while the founder of Harbor Sweets was at
the helm, Sweet Sloops (one time courtesy of him and the
rest of them courtesy of me) were a regular feature of the
echo picnics.

Just to see if it's a bar that's really worth a lot of hype.

Title: Nanaimo Bars -2

This one isn't, IMO.

Don't know - I've very seldom had Nanaimo bars of any kind
and not from that recipe, and I've never tried crack.

Hi Michael,

working--the hole on top of the knee is closing.

Sounds good so far.

an > option either of us was wanting to do, but would have, if it came
to

that point.

The more your body copes and the less you have to rely
on the doctors the better.

He's the one that suggested the honey.

True, but some people you don't want to see go. Others, OTOH,

I maintain that it's true to an overwhelming extent.
You can put up road signs as big as you like, but
they're driving the car, and it's up to them if they
want to take the bumpy route.

Their choice--I didn't say how great an extent they're at the helm of
their ship.

I usually don't go for anything but Coke, sometimes the Zevia

I was sort of surprised to see that it still existed.

I'm not, having lived in the south for the last 13 years. (G)

I found it not bad, citrusy, weak, sweet, sort of
like watered Pepsi, but then the machine it came out
of was somewhat malfunctioning.

I'll stick with Coke.

There're too many variables and twisty turns.

There are groups ut there that are trying to get reparations for
incidents long gone, of which some of us never had a part in. Those of
us that never had an ancestor involved, shouldn't have to be made to
pay. Same as those who's ancestors never had a part should never demand reparations.

Didn't fit the vein of our conversation?

Artery-ble puns are getting a little twisted.

You're sounding like my therapists there. (G)

I've not tasted this one but agreed, overall, honey does taste good.

Yeah, well. I've noticed the northward march of tropical

Probably not in our lifetimes.

I don't understand why the consuming public tolerates

I wouldn't know.

No TV for me. Can you or anyone else recommend an
unscented dishwasher soap, preferably in pods? Because
all three of the ladies in whose kitchens I dwell are

Don't know if there's a totally unscented pod but try the Finish
Quantum. It seems to be fairly lightly scented.

The white chocolate couverture on the outside of Sweet Sloops
makes one almost forget it's not real; and the molded cacao
shell at Xochi, whatever that's made out of is an ecceptable

IIRC, you brught some to HI while we were there.
