Some of my friends have described themselves in

They may spring when we least expect it.

Some of us are kind of expecting it all the time.

And some never expect it.

Better for them, if the resolution comes painlessly enough.

It could be an artifact or it could be a

Hopefully it's the first. When does she go for follow up?

Not sure, she's in Turkey, and it was admitted even
by the doctors that it would make sense for her not to
cancel that trip.

I'd be dancing like a semidespondent fury too if my
recovery didn't follow my own impossible timeline.

I'm just going with the flow. The medi-honey is working, but will not be fast. The ortho doctor is having me come in weekly for a check on it.

As above, no sense stressing.

Those eyes are really going wacky!

Indeed. Luckily today the meanings haven't gone
all kaflooey - I read throeback and arrowbook,
alternating, but that's at least not ambiguous.

Makes life interesting, doesn't it? (G)

Not always in a great way.

Understandable. Sometimes you can laugh about it, sometimes you may feel
more like crying.

Life in a nutshell.

Our flights to Kauai and Maui were like that also, thinking back.

I've tried to go interisland on bigger planes, but
mostly it's not possible.

We flew Hawaiian, helped us build, then use frequent flyer miles. Trip
to the Big Island cost just one, one way ticket, plus taxes and fees for
both of us.

I think they flew 737s and 717s (the latter being an
almost but not quite full-size aircraft).

Some of the burns I had were pre sun screen days. Others, since, were
usually in areas where I'd missed getting it.

Back then they sold us suntan lotion, which was
supposed to encourage the baking process.

Get that set of eyes in the back of your head?

Neh, it's probably better not to know.

But it's a trait that all mothers have. (G)

For their offspring. If you have someone else to
protect, sure.

Not likely to eggs, pork, and butter. Possible to
onions. We were talking about 18th-19th century
Russian peasants, who if not starving were likely
to be close enough.

Butter would be available if the family had a milk cow.

That's in another utopia.

Looks good to me but Steve can't have the corn.

There are other kinds of Sally Lunn, which is sort of
between a cake and a bread. It was another G&S allusion.

Hi Michael,

A French, or Turk, or Prussian,
Or perhaps Italian! - G & S, H.M.S. Pinafore

AFAIK, my ancestry lines are all German. That's what my parents always
told us.We've been able to trace Mom's paternal line to the town in
Germany where her father's family came from. Dad knew where his paternal grandfather came from--an area of Germany that's now part of Poland.

We're in a mess already, though I'm surprised that

OK, we'll see what Sean, xxCarol and Nancy would prefer.

Looks like, weather permitting, we'll have supper here on Thursday night
and go out for prime rib on Friday. A possiblity, depending on what the
general consensus/amount of leftover food, is that we could go to the
Italian place on Sunday.

It could be an artifact or it could be a
chronic internal infection, which is very
weird, or it could be the big C, which is
not something one wants to think about.

Hopefully it's the first. When does she go for follow up?

Not sure, she's in Turkey, and it was admitted even
by the doctors that it would make sense for her not to
cancel that trip.

Smart doctors--let her enjoy the trip. After my MRSA infection was
pronounced "cleared up" (2 days before Thanksgiving), my doctor let me
delay the start of radiation until January. We'd planned a trip out to
see our daughters over the Christmas holidays--doctor said to enjoy the
visit. We did. (G)

I'd be dancing like a semidespondent fury too if my

No, and as of the check yesterday, he's still satisfied with the rate of progress. Said that I can come in, in 2 weeks now.

That's about it, sometimes a bigger nut shell than other times.

Yes, Steve gave me my first bottle of sun screen in 1975. Before that,
about the best thing available was the zinc oxide stuff that was only
applied to small areas.

Some peasants did have them, but usually not more than one cow. Remember "FOTR"? He was a milk man--sold cups of it door to door in town.

One of the things that we recall when we went on a charter trip to

of them were ballistic with no cruising at all. The flight attendents
came down the isle with soft drinks, but charged for them to discourage

Hi Dale,

I wouldn't know but the flights to Kauai and Maui--I think we spent
more time taxi-ing than flying. (G)

One of the things that we recall when we went on a charter trip to
Hawaii was the flights between the islands (four islands in all). All
of them were ballistic with no cruising at all. The flight attendents came down the isle with soft drinks, but charged for them to
discourage you from taking one. It was all Gail and I could do to
finish one
shared coke.

We weren't charged but they gave us rather small portions--cup was more
ice than drink. Only on the flight from Oahu to the Big Island (and
return) did we really have much time for anything beyond drink service.
