His previous owner had been a girl in her early teens, and "walking the dog" meant having him pull her along on her rollerblades. The dog loved to get loose and play "Catch Me If You Can" with us, and he nearly lost his young life playing that game in a tearing rainstorm in the middle of the highway that leads from Flagstaff, AZ, to the Grand Canyon. The only way we could discipline the mutt was to hold a big pillow near him; he was scared stiff of pillows (and still is!). Since he was practically full-grown, training him was a challenge. But he did learn to come and to sit and to wait for us at street crossings. And he's still learning. He knows the sound that Windows XP makes when it shuts down (he learned that one just a few months ago, when we got the new computer), and he'll come out from under the desk and head for the door of the home office, since he knows that I"ll be leaving the room in short order.

Lee, Thought I saw something about that movie. There was a program on TV about the Jersey Devil a few weeks ago. It's 30 here with freezing rain. All the trees are frozen and while it is a pretty sight the weight is really pulling some of them down.

Anyone know if Cole Alpaugh has his orchard in Cokesbury yet? He had great apples, used to get about 5 varieties, and made all kinds of apple sauce. Put up over 300 gts. of it, Yes, along with the Peaches, Plums, Spiced apples and Pears. Its farming you know and glad its a Memory now.

I remember once reading a story written by a woman who lived in Vermont. She and her family were raising dairy cattle, and one of the cows turned out to be a poor milker. They ended up slaughtering her. For months afterward the kids would ask, "Is this Ronna?" every time any cut of beef was served. The lesson there was: If you're going to eat it, don't name it.

Usually it's viral illnesses (like colds) that come to a halt like that: the body gets the upper hand on the virus, the infection that's driving the fever up disappears, and the body turns on the sweating mechanism in order to get the temperature back to normal quickly. Folks in the "olden days" observed that people who broke out into a sweat in the middle of the night from colds or flu or stuff like that were often much better in the morning. They incorrectly concluded that there was a cause-and-effect relationship there and that making a person perspire heavily (by bundling them up and applying irritants like mustard to the skin) would stop the disease process overnight. The reason it seemed to work so often is that colds are a short-term illness to start with, and often the application of all that stuff would coincide with the natural conclusion of the disease. "Sweating it out" isn't practiced now because it hasn't any real curative power and can cause dehydration. Even antipyretics like Tylenol or Motrin aren't recommended unless a fever is high enough to cause seizures in small children or is causing extreme discomfort; breaking the fever can interfere with the immune system's work. In fact, they've shown that patients with viral illnesses who take Tylenol or another fever medication actually have symptoms longer than those who take nothing at all.

My mother wound give is a little in water, with sugar added, when we had a belly ache. I remember buying it at the drug store, and giving it to our kid's for the same reason. They took it off the market now, and you need a doctor's respiration to get it. I just recently heard that it is a mixture of opium, camphor, and alcohol. No wonder I liked it when I was small.

Marie, My husband and I loved boiled ham when we were younger. Now it is more like eating pure fat. Don't buy it often and if I do I check what it looks like first. Hate those gel like substances. Pat

Ever try Taylor pork roll, on a grilled cheese sandwich with a good old jersey tomato? Uuummmm good Betty,

Hi, The only one I missed was whooping cough. My friends next door got it and they were quarantined. Remember for some of these things they came and tacked a quarantine paper on your house? Chickenpox, measles(3 day and German), do I have that right? Remember the flu where your head ached and you couldn't get up? Measles you were in a dark room and chickenpox left scars for life(indentations). So glad they now immunize for some of these things. Pat
