Every day and in every way. And all the vendors
perked up when they saw you and asked how you
were feeling.
Most of them, yes. We didn't spend a lot of time there but it was good
to get out for a bit, other than for a doctor's appointment.
In peculiar ways I've discovered that simply "making
an appearance" often has beneficial effects.

Hey, I'd have thought that the dishwasher should
empty the dishwasher!
Usually so but I'm trying to take over some of my jobs, as I can.
Getting back to normal ASAP makes sense.
What, never? No never. What never? ...

I never tried it, period. My parents didn't smoke and I never cared for
the smell of cigarettes. (OTOH, curing tobacco smells quite nice,
actually.) Just one of those things I was never interested in. I've had enough breathing problems without putting extra stuff into my lungs.

fireplaces but have not gone out of my way to

All of the above coincide closely with my own views and
experiences.
greater than normal particulate emissions. If
there's an environmental cause, it's simply
living in an urban environment for over 65 years.
I've lived in both rural and urban environments, some areas more urban
than others. Berlin was probably the worst place for my lungs but we

with a high sulpher content for heating so in winter we'd have clouds of
coal smog. HI, when we had Kona winds, we'd get volcanic fumes from the
Big Island (vog) that was just as bad but it generally dissapated
faster.
Reminding me of those phenomena makes me shudder.
And chiropractors aren't all they're cracked up to be.
They aren't as well-adjusted as they would like
you to believe. But there has to be a back story
to all that.
As always.
Argh. Did you not get my pun, or are you carefully
ignoring it? We have to make some adjustments here.
Stereotyping developed because it's an easy
way to process information. It has the same
problems as statistically based anything, though.
Like so many things, not perfect but a good "it'll do".
Again, I'm wondering about your use of the word
"good." Take that away, and I'm fully in agreement.
Well, your orthopedic implants aren't as
hypomagnetic as those more precious metals.
That's probably not a real word, but it's
more accurate than "nonmagnetic," a word
I hate as much as zucchini.
Probably a mix of titianium (for the moving part) and some sort of
silicon for the glide plate, if I remember rightly from prior reading.
None of that should set off the WTMD. Is there
additional hardware?
As far as I'm concerned, the hardier herbs,
thyme, sage, oregano, maybe basil and rosemary,
are most of what you need as well as the ones
you're most likely to have popping up.
Those are good basics, have to see what's out there. I know we put some
herbs in but don't know if all of them survived.
Well, the ones that propagate exclusively by
seed can't be expected to have survived.
... Books are better than TV; they exercise your imagination.
For those of us whose imagination needs furher
exercise.
Sometimes just good reading but yes, sometimes the "escapist" exercise
is good too.
Escapist writing is not necessarily incompatible
with good writing.

In this context, it's hard for me to "wrap my
