Hi Richard, Yes, it came through and I got it when it came through. Did that question I asked come through the list a second time? Weird, cause I didn't get it if it did. I already have the whole thing explained, using you and Tracy as the information source, in my family history under both my Uncle Milt and my father-in-law. Thanks again to both of you!!!! AND!!! Thank you KATHY, for all the research you've been doing regarding breads made without yeast!!!!! I'm interested in the self-rising bread flour one they had at quick glance. I think quick breads are cake-like, if I'm not mistaken, like Zucchini and the like. But those self-rising flour ones interest me, because I've never used that for bread making. I did buy some, and accidentally used it in my pizza dough, which I already use yeast in, and it made the dough too thick. So, maybe that is the secret I am looking for, though Mayer's and ATV both use yeast? We'll see what I find. Thanks so much for doing this research for me :o) Yes, we are all friends on this list, aren't we!!! :o) Lynn ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Emlin Reed To: padutch-life@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, August 20, 2007 10:17 PM Subject: Re: [PD-LIFE] Backs :o) Read your mail, Lynn Vondran.

WOW!!!! You don't know how much I appreciate this!!!! This is the zapper I had talked about a while back, regarding my Uncle Milt. Yes, now I know exactly what he was describing over the phone to us, and what he wore to Great Aunt Dot's birthday parties!!!! It worked wonderfully for a while, but I don't believe it has worked for a year or so for him. Thanks, again, Richard!!!! And Tracy for bringing it up in the first place. Hah!!!

Now, Lynn, as we used to say in the old days, you stop putting quotation marks around the word amn't when you use it in a sentence. Well, having lived with it for years, Betty and I are acutely aware of the agony that comes with a sore back. In German, it is called "Rückenschmerzen". We called it "rickshmatza" (back pain) or "rickdroovvel (back trouble). Begins with an "S" could be stenosis. From Wikipedia: Spinal stenosis is a medical condition in which the spinal canal narrows and compresses the spinal cord and nerves. This is usually due to the natural process of spinal degeneration that occurs with aging. It can also sometimes be caused by spinal disc herniation, osteoporosis, or a tumour. Spinal stenosis may affect the cervical spine, the lumbar spine or both. Lumbar spinal stenosis results in low back pain as well as pain or abnormal sensations in the legs. Have fun.
