Continued vibes for you, TCB.

I don't know how many fershluganah pages I've written today - at least twenty, maybe twenty-two.  I think I'm done, at least for the next four hours.

OK, Here comes Extreme makeover....Jon has given me a number of clues to look for him...he has a goatee kind of thing on his chin, wearing all white under his blue Extreme Makeover shirt, worked on house 1, helped set up the command center, put the stuff on the wall in the movie themed bedroom and carried a banner.  SO....that's what I'm looking for.  This is sure to be emotional....

Speaking of NY, I didn't mention that at Sunday night's performance of Chicago, there was a medical emergency and the show was stopped for about 5 minutes while the EMTs took the patient to the hospital.

Were you at the performance of CHICAGO?  Is Brent currently in the show?

Have you ever tried the netipot? They make one now that is just a squeezer. A lot of people i know who have sinus problems use this (i do, my sis does, her best friend does, her husband does). It really clears out your nasal passages!

Does it work better than the ones in the plastic bottles from the drug store?

What do those look like? I've only ever seen and used the one from the netipot company. But they are very good if you have a lot of sinus problems. I don't use mine all the time. Because my probs aren't as severe as my sis and her friend.

It's a big squeezy bottle and you mix formula with boiled water (cooled down). You spray it up one nostril and it pours out the other.

Something like this: http://www.nextag.com/Neilmed-SinuFlo-Ready-Rinse-843315575/prices-html

It works the same only is pre-mixed for you.

Neilmed is the company that makes the netipot. In fact what you linked in the picture is exactly what i have.

TCB  I have been thinking about  you and praying for you since I read your news -


How soon can you get the surgery?

Next Friday I see the doctor that needs to clear me for surgery (my MRSA doctor) and then they will schedule it.  I am thinking that hopefully the first week in February. With my luck, I will be in the hospital for the Super Bowl having jell-o instead of chips and dip.

In my quest to have a respectable entry in our Churches' fist annual chili cookoff I have been reading chili recipes on the web and looking though my cookbooks - 

Would any of you care to weigh in on your thoughts as to
beans or no beans
chopped meat vs cubed meats
beef vs beef/pork  mixture
alcohol additives such as beer, bourbon, gin

I thought you have a reusable pot while this photo should be a disposable plastic container.

I would (Don't read this John G.) use beans, ground beef, tomatoes (I know you didn't ask) and no alcohol.

My SSA Disability application has moved on to the Salt Lake City headquarters.  I don't know if that is a good thing or not, but I am thinking that it is good.

[vixmom]

VIBES for a speedy SSA determination in your favour

[Jane]

I would think that is a good thing.  Vibes it is!!!!

TCB -- may I suggest that if you have any problem you should contact your Senator's office for assistance.  I used to work in a (federal) office that dealt with Congressional offices that interceded for their constituents for even routine transactions.

Scary story about what happened to Gene Hackman. Reminded me of what happened to Mary Cleere Haran.

I watched a Blu and Ray tonight, rather than a Maigret.  I wrote about twenty-three pages today and will do one little thing I forgot to do in an earlier section.
