 RH>> Rachel had some also, my brother had ice (in the Catskills).
 RH>> Deborah had temps of near 100, ours were upper 70s/low 80s. We
 RH>> had the best of 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
 NB>> high 80s... way too high for this time of year... haven't heard
 NB>> yet if it broke records, but there was that possibility.... Cold
 NB>> front coming in tonight, heavy rain and T-storms predicted...
 NB>> and highs in the 60s tomorrow...  ;)

 RH> We were in the 80s today, way too warm for April. But, our air
 RH> conditioning is working again--got a new unit put in with new duct
 RH> work and it's keeping us nice & cool.
 
Monday it was supposed to get a high of 81, but it never got there... I
was just as glad actually...  :)  We're still needing the furnace to
warm up the house in the evening.... so any warm days just serve as heat
producers...  Only A/C we have is in my car... but then we don't need it
that much usually....

 NB>>> Nope, food isn't covered [by health insurnce] (except for that
 NB>>> liquid nutritional stuff that goes into PEG tubes)....
 RH>> Stuff that you're just as well off not eating or drinking as is.
 RH>> A friend gave me a few bottles of Boost a while ago (cleaning
 RH>> out her fridge). It may give you proper nutrition but the taste
 RH>> is very forgettable. (G)
 NB>> Nasty stuff....  It has its purposes, but not something I intend
 NB>> to be ingesting...  ;)

 RH> Now that I know what it's like, I'll try to avoid it as much as
 RH> possible.
 
In nursing homes, they refer to them as "milkshakes"... yeah, right.. ;0

 NB>>> Our rule of thumb has been to order one dish for the two of
 NB>>> us (unless we either want leftovers, or know in advance that
 NB>>> something will be more scant than most entrees), and to
 NB>>> otherwise order 2 entrees for every 3 people... that usually
 NB>>> works out pretty evenly, and only once in a while do we end
 NB>>> up with extras....  :)
 RH>> Lately when it's just been the 2 of us (most of the time, it is
 RH>> just that) we've ordered one dish and a couple of egg rolls. Egg
 RH>> rolls are then eaten with the first go round, there's plenty of
 RH>> entree left for another meal. Hardest part is deciding what to
 RH>> share. (G)
 NB>> You choose one time, he chooses the next....?  ;)

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

Ah....  and, of course....  ;)
