Hi Dave,
RH> I do the up and down also but there's those odd bits that don't like to
RH> come out except with a bit of help.
DD> That's why some smart person made toothpicks. Bv)=
Even those don't get quite everything as I've found. Floss is harder to
use since my wrists don't bend that well so the Water Pik is a big help.
DD> Our G.C. began life as a Golden Corral steakhouse franchise. Then
DD> switched franchises to "Maverick Steak House" and finally transitioned
DD> back to Golden Corral as a buffet. And in a different, much larger
DD> place.
RH> Ours closed, had been a buffet for years. I preferred the old
RH> concept--go thru line to order every thing, then find a seat and it
RH> will be brought to you. Western Sizzlin' had that plan also, but they
RH> closed some years ago. It was one of our favorite places to go to in
RH> Jacksonville, NC when we wanted something special.
DD> The Golden Corral and Pizza Ranch are the only western buffets left.
DD> We used to have Ponderosa, Bonanza, Ryans, Old Country, etc. And a
DD> Western Sizzlin. I really liked their "Trucker's Cut" sirloin. We do
DD> have serveral Asian buffets - Chinese, Indian, etc. My favourite of
DD> those is Flavour of India. When I go there I am often the only light-
DD> skinned, blue eyed diner in the place. Bv)= And they introduced me
DD> to mango I scream. Yuuuuuum.
There was a nice Indian place in Raleigh when we first moved here but
they closed some years ago. Haven't found a buffet place locally or
elsewhere tho. My MIL likes the Chinese buffets so sometimes we've gone
out to one with her; come to think about it, I think the last time we
did that was while she was in Florida.
DD> Only thing I've baked for a while has been frozen pizza. Bv)= Or
Papa DD> Murphy's. MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
RH> We baked a pita pizza Friday night--pizza using a pita bread for the
RH> crust. Worked well for the 2 of us--6 slices (2 put aside for my lunch
RH> yesterday) and a salad made a filling meal for us.
DD> Off to the pulmonologist this ayem to get him to give mw a script for
DD> a home oxygen concentrator and a porta-pack to carry along when out of
DD> the house. I had that set-up for more than a year but things improved
DD> to the point I didn't see the need to tie up equipment I didn't really
DD> need. And two years down the road things have changed dramatically - I
DD> can't walk into the kitchen for a glas of water or cup of coffee and
DD> back to my computer without running out of air. I'ts the tiniest bit
DD> scary. Bv)=
RH> Hope all goes well. I've been on O2 at night for a couple of years now,
RH> just got bumped up to 3 lpm from 2, had a CT scan on Monday. Results
RH> showed some more deteroraton since the last one done, in August of last
RH> year.
DD> I'll be/am hooked up all the time at home. and if I go out/to work I
DD> take the portable guy. It really makes a difference. Now I can walk
DD> across
DD> the house to the kitchen for a glass of ice water and back without
DD> getting winded. just have to be careful not to trip over my tail".
Not good; I'm just using it at bedtime. Didn't use it for a couple of
nights this week as I got hit with a noro-type virus, after Steve had
it. Didn't eat a lot the first couple of days, think I can handle
regular food today.
