Hi Dave,
RH> Follow up to the follow up? After I had an overnight in the hospital
DD> Not exactly a follow up to a follow up. Different hospital stay. The
DD> first part of the follow-up was, as usual, with an
DD> intern/resident/newmy minted physician. SIU Family Practice is part of
DD> Souther Illinois University
DD> School of Medicine. So there are lots of baby/beginner docs around.
DD> The doctor I'm seeing Thursday is also a professor of Internal
DD> Medicine.
Sounds like you're in an area with lots of good care. We've debated
moving out west when my MIL is no longer with us but haven't fully
decided yet. One reason for staying in this area is that we're well
established with good medical care and a lot of specialised care
available in the area if needed.
DD> At 82 I don't make long-range plans. Bv)=
RH> But sometimes plans for even a week out can raise conflicts. I've got
RH> to call and reschedule an appointment for me in June as Steve has one
RH> an hour earlier--both local but don't know if he would be done before
RH> mine was to start.
DD> Need your hand held? Or some other reason like different locationss?
RH> Different locations, cross town. I was able to move mine to the same
RH> day, just a couple of hours later. We've been trying to schedule
RH> appointments around our planned travel time so it was inevitable we'd
RH> end up with a conflict eventually. Easily resolved tho.
DD> You have your priorities, they have theirs. When the mesh it's known
DD> as serendipity. Bv)=
Yes, quite nice. It's not that major a trip but I'd still be
significantly late for my appointment had I kept the original one.
DD> 8<----- CLIP ----->8
DD> Depends on what poochy-pup had been eating for the most part.
RH> For the most part his diet was Purina One, dry dog food. He liked
RH> popcorn and a lot of "people foods" but didn't get much of those. One
RH> thing he didn't like was green peas but he did go for most everything
RH> else. He had those big brown eyes that would look so appealing--"feed
RH> me, please" that Steve and the girls often snuck him bits of table
RH> food.
DD> The three living here get a can of Gravy Train every evening and can
DD> eat from the well-stocked kibble otherwise. And Jasper and Isobel are
DD> AK "Super Mooches" which Dennis encourages. Izzy also licks my
DD> plate/bowl if I set it down for her - cleanere than had I washed it in
DD> the sink for the most part. Unless I've had General Tso's Chicken.
DD> Something in that she turns up her nose at.
Does she push the dish away? The last cat we had did that when the vet
put her on a lamb and rice diet. Out of curiosity I bought a bag of
Purina Lamb and Rice kibble for Sam; he didn't care for it--ate it
reluctantly--so I went back to his usual kibble. As he got older, he
liked it with a bit of liquid (gravy, if we had it on hand, water if
not) added. We gave him a small scoop of canned dog food as well; that
dog ate quite well.
DD> Title: Sauce for Fireside's General Tso
DD> Categories: Sauces, Oriental, Chilies
DD> Yield: 3 Ounce
I've never ordered General Tso's chicken, prefer other dishes. Steve
has, from time to time, but thinking back, don't think he has in the
past few years. Maybe losing his heat tolerance?
