 RH>> If it's cool temps, the higher humidity is OK but once the temps get
 RH>> up to the upper 70s/low 80s, I need the A/C. 
 NB>> Our house, thankfully, doesn't tend to get too humid inside, except
 NB>> sometimes in the dog days of late July or August...

 RH> Ours can, but it gets hotter and humider here than NY--tho July and
 RH> August can be pretty humid up there, I know.

True, and true...  :)   And your house is probably constructed
differently from ours as well....  :)

 RH>> Probably call them "milkshakes" to make the residents think they're
 RH>> getting something good. Most of them probably remember when shakes
 RH>> were made with milk and ice cream, not a chemical concoction. (G)
 NB>> Well, it is a way of getting nutrients into them, I suppose...  Anyone
 NB>> I've been responsible for seems to hear the quotes, though, when the
 NB>> staff called them "milkshakes"... It does have somewhat the texture of
 NB>> a thin shake...  ;)  Lydia used to make Mommy shakes with milk and ice
 NB>> cream, though.... or put a scoop of ice cream, along with milk, to
 NB>> reconstitute her Breakfast Essentials drink for her supper...
 NB>> Anything to get more calories and nutrients into someone having
 NB>> difficulty eating enough...   :)

 RH> Lydia's shakes sound much more appealing. (G) And, yes, the main idea
 RH> is to push nutrients that may not be consumed thru other meals. Much
 RH> easier to drink a "shake" than to have to wrestle
 RH> knife/fork/spoon/chew/plate/bowl as you get older and frailer.

Exactly....  :)
