One big benefit: I was an ER nurse at the time, and having to deal with crutches myself changed my whole approach to teaching my patients how to use the darned things. First things first . . . how to get onto and off the toilet! I sure hope that all you injured people are getting better in a hurry.

Yes, Marie, I'm gargling with salt water; it really does help! And the awful medication that you remember was ETH (elixir of terpin hydrate), which was usually given in a formulation with codeine as an expectorant and cough suppressant.

Betty, That was a wonderful, heartwarming story. Always good to hear of marriages that are good and last that long. Congratulations! Pat

Dave, Are you out there lurking also? Haven't heard from you on here in quite awhile. Pat

Carl, Forgot that you were lurking. Thank you for telling me what summer savory is. Wonder how those herbs make something more hearty? Glad that you are back as we miss you and your input. Pat

We have Direct TV also. Peter subscribes to Season Ticket which gives him I think about 14 games every Sunday. He doesn't miss a Giant's game!

Just back from the neurologist! I have post concussion syndrome. So it could be a while till all the symptoms are gone. Thanks for your kind thoughts. Fortunately, I was just stepping on to the second rung when the hinge collapsed (it wasn't locked) and the top of the ladder fell and hit me taking me to the ground and rendering me unconscience for a couple of seconds only. Now I can look forward to a happy Christmas.

Please all of you be careful today, and all who have been injured have a pain free day Betty

> Chenille Robes, really brings back a good memory. It was Christmas 1949, I was ill and the medication gave me the hives,Dr. said to put some thing on it that was very greasy. After I spread it all over my Mother said to come out and watch TV, so I put on my pale blue Chenille Robe, and my boy friend came in the front door, got down on his knees and proposed to me and put a beautiful diamond on my finger. He must have loved me a lot the way I looked. That was 53 years ago.

Diesel TH, Thank God for Diesel too. I can always count on him for good jokes and the comments are better than the jokes. We do have the same sense of humor, good or bad. lol. The computer keeps us all sane and now Diesel you will have time to catch up on your genealogy, you too Carl. I plan to do that all winter. A comment to Marie and Diesel, since I lived above Trenton 35 yrs. I can remember it being a beautiful city, and also remember the changes too. One thing I do remember is going down by the monument and the shops having the groundhogs and other delicacies hanging out of the shops. Might have been pre-road kill, which is popular today with many good receipes for them too.

Thanks Betty I am on my way soon to have lunch with Katie and Frank and do a little shopping. I still have problems leaving the house, fear of falling won't go away. I actually walked out in my yard yesterday and worried every step. Decorated the porch but felt save there. I cannot get up by myself, can't use the wrists or the knees, a beached whale comes to mind.

Betty - what a nice way your husband proposed - Marie G

Grandma Betty, That was a nice story. I had the shingles a few years ago and couldn't put on anything that touched my back, had to wear Franks shirts.
