Hi Sean,
RH> I've carried albuterol with me for the past 30+ years; it's my
RH> "American Express". (G) Made the mistake of not having it on me once
RH> when we were in Berlin;
RH> After that I started carrying an inhaler with me every time I went
RH> out--and still do.
SD> For me, it's my severe allergies that cause me to literally "lock up":
SD> ragweed is a great example. Another one that is much less common for
SD> me but still dangerous is mulberry trees in bloom. Grass is more of a
My brothers used to get set off with ragweed every summer but it was
more sneezing, watery eyes type reaction. I think they both outgrew it
but don't know for sure.
SD> skin
SD> reaction but freshly-mowed grass or hay will lock up my lungs like a
SD> sucker punch to the diaphragm (and yes, I -do- know what that feels
SD> like).
Not so much fun. It doesn't show on skin tests but animal (dog & cat the
most common) dander sets me off. I kept it somewhat controlled when we
had critters but am doing better without them. We get our "fuzz therapy"
from various neighbor's pets. (G)
RH> The electric grill is better than no grill. We have no restrictions and
RH> have several grills. The little table top size gas grill gets used a

SD> The once UDD mentioned a short while back from Amazon looks rather
SD> nice and I'd not mind having it hiding in a cupboard. The winters
SD> here are mild enough to where I could "grill" outside without issue.
We grill most of the year too.
RH> Interesting, how we, out of habit (long term indoctrination?) call some

Sounds good to me. Saw in your post to the other Ruth H. that you're off
antibiotics--good. I've been on them 4 times (other than a couple 3 day
bursts for dental cleanings, required with the artificial knee) since
early February. Got a 5 day Z pack in VT but had to get a 10 day course
once we got home a couple weeks later. I'm good now, just trying to
avoid the need for them again.
SD> This looks good:

Take out the cilantro and it's a "go' here. Last night Steve took me to
our favorite seafood place in Raleigh for a one day after my birthday
dinner. I had a seafood chowder for starters--very thick, loaded with
seafood and a good bacony side note. Entree was shrimp and
grits--presentation was in a bowl with a scoop of grits on the side, not
very pretty but the taste was good. Coould have used some more shrimp;
I only had 5. Steve started with a red pepper bisque, again very good.
His entree was shrimp scampi--said it was lacking in lemon and garlic
but he had 6 shrimp. His came with a couple of pieces of garlic bread,
(mine could have used some) said it also had black pepper on it. We will
be back, however, the food is good.
