Hi Nancy,


 RH> Rachel had some also, my brother had ice (in the Catskills). Deborah
 RH> had temps of near 100, ours were upper 70s/low 80s. We had the best of
 RH> it all. (G)

 NB> I think I'd have to agree with you there...  ;)  Deborah's were
 NB> unthinkable....!   Meanwhile, today the high here was in the high
 NB> 80s... way too high for this time of year... haven't heard yet if it
 NB> broke
 NB> records, but there was that possibility.... Cold front coming in
 NB> tonight, heavy rain and T-storms predicted... and highs in the 60s
 NB> tomorrow...  ;)

We were in the 80s today, way too warm for April. But, our air
conditioning is working again--got a new unit put in with new duct work
and it's keeping us nice & cool.

 NB>  RH>> The oral surgeon that did the job figured it was best to do it
 NB>  RH>> all at once. Our insurance covered all but his fee which he let
 NB>  RH>> us budget payback over a year, no interest. It also didn't cover
 NB>  RH>> the soups and other soft foods I survived on for a while until
 NB>  RH>> the mouth had healed but, didn't expect that coverage either.
 NB>  NB>> Nope, food isn't covered (except for that liquid nutritional
 NB> stuff  NB>> that goes into PEG tubes)....

 RH> Stuff that you're just as well off not eating or drinking as is. A
 RH> friend gave me a few bottles of Boost a while ago (cleaning out her
 RH> fridge). It may give you proper nutrition but the taste is very
 RH> forgettable. (G)

 NB> Nasty stuff....  It has its purposes, but not something I intend to be
 NB> ingesting...  ;)

Now that I know what it's like, I'll try to avoid it as much as
possible.

 NB>  NB>> Our rule of thumb has been to order one dish for the two of us
 NB>  NB>> (unless we either want leftovers, or know in advance that
 NB> something  NB>> will be more scant than most entrees), and to
 NB> otherwise order 2
 NB>  NB>> entrees for every 3 people... that usually works out pretty
 NB> evenly,  NB>> and only once in a while do we end up with extras....
 NB> :)

 RH> Lately when it's just been the 2 of us (most of the time, it is just
 RH> that) we've ordered one dish and a couple of egg rolls. Egg rolls are
 RH> then eaten with the first go round, there's plenty of entree left for
 RH> another meal. Hardest part is deciding what to share. (G)

 NB> You choose one time, he chooses the next....?  ;)

We have a few dishes that we both like so will usually go for one of
them. If they have baby corn in them, it's all mine. (G)
