You're the first person I've seen say they have that same allergy. My
croakers act as if they've never heard of it.

I took 'em when offered and until my system was pretty well compromised
they seem to have worked. The only offered vaccination I turn down is
the annual flu vaccine. Ever time I've take a flu shot I've gotten s 
full blown bout of the dread mahogus.

The docs try to tell me that's a "light touch" of flu. But I know that
having the sweats, shakes, running of at both ends with the screaming
wahjeemies is the real deal, not a "light touch".

Haven't had any flu since I quit taking the shots.  Bv)=

I've got an ASUS 17" laptop as well as my first laptop - a Gatweay that
had XP on it but now is running on Unbutu linux. And a pair of EEPC's
that haven't seen the light of day for seven or eight years.

My gall bladder was so full of rocks they decided to take it ot. Told
me it was "no big deal" to do it laprascopially. HAH! It was so swollen
that there was no way it would come out the little hole that laproscopic
surgery uses. 

I heard all the horror stories that I'd have to give up fatty and/or
fried foods. NOPE! I haven't varied my diet and haven't had a single
problem due to not having my gall bladed.

      Title: Gall-Of-Goat Float
 Categories: Five, I scream, Beverages
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
      8 oz Root Beer
           Gall of goat *
           +=OR=+
      4 oz Scoop vanilla I scream
 
  * I have NO idea - UDD
  
  Perhaps that famed trio of witches wouldn't have been
  so crotchety if they'd been stirring up these bubbling
  floats.
  
  For a dastardly presentation, set a large metal bowl
  inside a larger cauldron. Wearing gloves or oven mitts,
  place dry ice in the cauldron around the bowl, then
  fill the bowl with root beer. Pour water onto dry ice
  for a steamy effect.
  
  To serve, ladle root beer into mugs filled with scoops
  of gall of "goat" or vanilla ice cream.
