Yes, you are absolutely correct. I hurt my back when I was 13. For some odd reason, my mother didn't believe me, so it took 5 years for me to get to the chiropractor. That was 42 years ago. I love my chiropractor and used to go to his father. I don't have to go all the time, but I should get on a monthly schedule just for maintenance. I have been seeing him since October 15th for this problem, put part of it is that my rotator cuff is not in good condition. Thankfully I changed medical insurance when I retired and it now covers his visits less a co-pay of $10. People always say to me that I shouldn't be doing this or that because of my age. My response is, "Why?" If I am capable and able, then why not? If I stopped doing everything because of my age, I would soon be doing nothing and would wither up and blow away. Not my idea of living, by a long shot. I ache and hurt every day because of all the rough activities I put my body through all my life; but who doesn't ache and hurt? I guess that's why I liked the morphine I was on for three days when I had my motorcycle accident. It took away every bit of pain in every part of my body that ever hurt. It was pretty euphoric. It also got me through the worst of any withdrawal symptoms I would have had from not having a smoke, so I quit that, too. It will be 8 years in July since I've had a cigarette. One of the best things I ever did.

While it doesn't have a chin strap, my Nane used to make this for the local hospitals for preemies or cancer patients, even as she was fighting her own cancer. There are sizes mentioned, but she would also alter it depending on the size of the person she expected to give the hat to. I have it written in her own hand, but it doesn't travel well over email--visually it is a little light, written in pencil on school paper. I am sure she got the pattern from somewhere, but so far, no one has tracked it down. Please feel free to use and pass along--Nane would be happy "her" pattern was continuing on.

Then again, I surely would not want to have to wear all that costumery in the hot, humid summer! EEEEYEWWW! I'd love to see you this summer. Just know that we are headed to PA between June 28th and July 12th. We will head to Gettysburg first, then to Strasburg and Lancaster, then to the Reading area, then possibly to Dushore area. I have a cousin to meet for the first time in Lancaster. He and possibly his wife will accompany us to the Reading area where we will hook up with another cousin and her husband whom the first set has never met. We will explore the old family home sites, St. Michael's cemetery where our ancestors are buried, and some of the other nooks and crannies of Berks County. Then my husband and I are going to go to Cabella's and spend at least a day there before we head either to Dushore or home. Dushore is where my GGGrandfather moved to from Berks County. I know pretty much where everyone is buried down there, and where our cousins live, so I plan on introducing the cousin from Lancaster to them as well, IF he can make it up there. If not now, then another time this summer. I love it down in Sullivan County. I always feel like I am home when I am down there. I may check to see if there is anything going on around Pottsville or Kutztown during that time, too. If so, we may extend our travels. I'm hoping my brother will stay at the house with the animals. Otherwise, I may not be going anywhere.

Does this Petrocarbo stink at all? I haven't been at the Eastern Market in a couple years, eventhough it's right around the nest corner from Wal-mart. So Fuller Brush even has Vanilla? Do they have a dish soap, by any chance. I have to look for a new dish soap, AGAIN. Can't find one I can use. Unless someone on the list knows where I can get Home Best, or Home Life dish soap. I've searched online, to order a case of it, but I can't find it anywhere, doing a GOOGLE search. If anyone knows where to get it, please let me know. I have found it's the only one out there on the market that I can use, without my breathing passage slamming shut on me. Before Redners closed, here in Columbia, they were going to order in some of the orange colored (anti-bacterial, NOT orange smelling) Home Life, which the manager of the store said Home Best had changed their name to. But, alas, they closed before the order went through. I only have two bottles of it left, and will run out in a few months.

I'd love to live down near you. You must be near Keeney.... now if I could only wave my magic wand and transport us there. I used to travel 81 down to Winchester, VA. That is one of my most favorite places of all time. There was an old plantation house for sale there that I really would have loved to have...... I could see myself dressed in my antebellum dress, sitting on the wide porch in my rocking chair, sipping mint juleps.... LOL! Then again, I surely would not want to have to wear all that costumery in the hot, humid summer! EEEEYEWWW! I'd love to see you this summer. Just know that we are headed to PA between June 28th and July 12th. We will head to Gettysburg first, then to Strasburg and Lancaster, then to the Reading area, then possibly to Dushore area. I have a cousin to meet for the first time in Lancaster. He and possibly his wife will accompany us to the Reading area where we will hook up with another cousin and her husband whom the first set has never met. We will explore the old family home sites, St. Michael's cemetery where our ancestors are buried, and some of the other nooks and crannies of Berks County. Then my husband and I are going to go to Cabella's and spend at least a day there before we head either to Dushore or home. Dushore is where my GGGrandfather moved to from Berks County. I know pretty much where everyone is buried down there, and where our cousins live, so I plan on introducing the cousin from Lancaster to them as well, IF he can make it up there. If not now, then another time this summer. I love it down in Sullivan County. I always feel like I am home when I am down there. I may check to see if there is anything going on around Pottsville or Kutztown during that time, too. If so, we may extend our travels. I'm hoping my brother will stay at the house with the animals. Otherwise, I may not be going anywhere.

What a great idea! I have a Magic Bullet. I'll bet this would work in there, too. Next time you make it, Don, add a tiny touch of sour cream and a touch of garlic powder, too.

Does this Petrocarbo stink at all? I haven't been at the Eastern Market in a couple years, eventhough it's right around the nest corner from Wal-mart. So Fuller Brush even has Vanilla? Do they have a dish soap, by any chance. I have to look for a new dish soap, AGAIN. Can't find one I can use. Unless someone on the list knows where I can get Home Best, or Home Life dish soap. I've searched online, to order a case of it, but I can't find it anywhere, doing a GOOGLE search. If anyone knows where to get it, please let me know. I have found it's the only one out there on the market that I can use, without my breathing passage slamming shut on me. Before Redners closed, here in Columbia, they were going to order in some of the orange colored (anti-bacterial, NOT orange smelling) Home Life, which the manager of the store said Home Best had changed their name to. But, alas, they closed before the order went through. I only have two bottles of it left, and will run out in a few months. Thanks! :o) Lynn PS Also, Connie, I use to know the hours of the Eastern Market, but I can't remember them.

Linnea, How wonderful about the twins. I have heard that preemies do very well if they share the same isolette. It is wonderful that they have progressed so quickly and without any problems. I am hopeful they will be home soon. My mother taught me to knit; my m. grandmother taught me to crochet, which is what I prefer to do. I used to crochet everything, including coats and suits. I have made afghans, pillows, coasters, table toppers, doll outfits, sweaters, hats, and vests.... you name it, I made it. Then carpal tunnel syndrome set in. I was so swollen that my arms hurt from my knuckles all the way up to my shoulders. I gave up crocheting for quite a number of years. Then I couldn't stand it any longer and I bought some new yarn and made a few things last winter. This winter, I have been battling my pinched nerves, so crocheting is out of the question. How nice that you still enjoy crocheting and that you are going to make the hats to donate to the preemies. I know they will be made with lots of love.

I like that style! I'm getting back into knitting/crocheting as my son requested caps for their preemie twins. The ones the hospital has are kind of large.

Often when preemies do one thing, they will forget to breathe. Now they're out of the isolette and in an open bassinette to see how well they can maintain their body temperature. I think that's their last benchmark before they allow them to leave.

I'll bet those proud parents can't wait until they can take those little bundles of joy home!!!! Hope it's soon, for them. It has to be so hard to leave them at the hospital, but it's the best place for them, when they are in the delicate state of their entry into the world.

I remember the Aloe Vera parties, just like Tupperware parties. They were quite interesting. I went to only one, but it was really good. I have an Aloe plant in my kitchen. I tend to kill them, but really like having them, for cuts, burns and moisturizers. It's a very good, natural healing plant, for sure. I have to laugh. I kill them, and our dear old neighbor who moved to TN, from across the street, use to have SO many every year, he would have at least 20 or more repotted plants on his porch for anyone to take. Of course, every year, I would need another one. I still have ONE of those plants, but it is holding on for dear life. I kill spider plants, too, something that so many people told me were so easy to keep_not me :o( I like Aloe, but the last Aloe I bought, had a scent to it. I haven't bought any since. I should try to buy some again, someday. I used a lot of Corn Husker's Lotion at one time in my life.

Hi everybody.........I finally found someone that doesn't like crackers in their soup because they get soggy!  I'm with ya Mary, I don't like soggy food either!  Linda

I'm with you, I never liked tomato soup, and definitely didn't like crackers IN any soup, especially not tomato soup_it DID make it last longer. I still don't like it, today, but can eat crushed tomatoes, whole canned tomatoes, and tomato sauce until it comes out my ears :o) I just noticed the subject line saying hardboiled eggs in tomato soup???????? Have never had that, but then again I can 't even think of ketchup on eggs :o( Now, mustard on eggs, yes :o) :o) Lynn Eppleys wrote: > My mother always said a soup had to have something to stick to your ribs, > anyone ever hear that expression?
