    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.
    Very much so, not only for me but for the vendors to see the progress
    I've made.
    Getting back to normal ASAP makes sense.
    Saw the doctor again today--all stitches are out and I can resume
    bending the knee for therapy. Don't have to go back to the doctor for 3 weeks; by then I hope to have a good range of motion on it.

    All sounds pretty encouraging.

    What, never? No never. What never? ...
    G&S again. (G)
    Are you fond of toffee?
    I've enjoyed it whenever I've had the chance to have some.

    [G&S again.]

    admit I have always enjoyed campfires and
    fireplaces but have not gone out of my way to
    inhale their fumes - as you can guess from
    I'll take them to a certain extent.
    All of the above coincide closely with my own views and
    experiences.
    Steve tried it before we met but told me that his mom found out &
    "wailed the tar" out of him.

    Self-destruction is generally bad, but it's
    not for me to be the enforcer except maybe in
    imminently (not just potential) life-threatening
    situations.

    Berlin is a bad place for everything, except (in
    my experience) for living.
    We enjoyed it overall. It was fun trying various doner kebap places;
    some of them had a very mild garlic sauce, others had more of an
    industrial strength one. We preferred the latter. (G)

    Kept the nixies and pixies away.

    were there for not quite 3 years. The (former) East Germany burned
    coal > 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.
    Yes, but like Berlin, we enjoyed our time in HI.

    Te places have redeeming other values.

    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.
    Not trying to be spineless, just carefully ignoring. (G)

    It's a bit of a strain nonetheless.

    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.
    Ok, omit it and you're happy.

    Happier, anyhow.

    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?
    I'm not sure; have to remember to ask the doctor next time I'm in the
    clinic.

    Well, it wouldn't be the silicon, and titanium
    generally goes undetected.

    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.
    But the runner type probably have.

    No doubt.

    Escapist writing is not necessarily incompatible
    with good writing.
    No, and what I consider escapist, you may not care for & vice versa.
    Right now I'm working my way thru David McCullough's biography of Harry Truman. Escapist would be a Tom Clancy or Jean Auel book.

    I've not read anything by the escapist authors
    you cite.

    ... A mind stretched by new ideas can never go back to its original
    size.
    In this context, it's hard for me to "wrap my
    head around" that.
    I've no problem with it.

    Also a joke.

    Looks good to me.

    I used to be fond of toffee, too.

    Hi Michael,

    Getting back to normal ASAP makes sense.
    Saw the doctor again today--all stitches are out and I can resume bending the knee for therapy. Don't have to go back to the doctor
    for 3 > weeks; by then I hope to have a good range of motion on it.

    All sounds pretty encouraging.

    Overall, very much so. Therapist says that the extention is very good,
    flex could be better. Basically same as what the doctor said last week.

    Self-destruction is generally bad, but it's

    imminently (not just potential) life-threatening
    situations.

    If it's affecting me ( e.g.second hand smoke) and I can't move out of
    its path, I will speak up and ask that the offending behavior (smoking,
    in this instance) be stopped. I don't want my lungs to be damaged by
    somebody else's self destructive behavior.

    No bones about it!

    Don't know if that's the combination used and if there are other
    components to the knee (bone cement, don't know what's in that). But,
    it's in now and hopefully will last a good long time.

    As far as I'm concerned, the hardier herbs,

    No doubt.

    We're finally getting more spring like weather so I may be able to check
    the "herb garden", see what we do have growing.
