I am feeling for all of you and especially your sister.<br /><br />At my age, we lose the invincibility of youth. I have seen so many instances of people I know and love failing suddenly. When that happens, I often think of Intimations of Mortality rather than Intimations of Immortality. We have to show our love while we can and we have to make the best, most loving use of the life we have left.<br /><br />On a brighter note, Irish Miss, I am sooo jealous of all those delicious lobster and clam, etc. repasts in ME. On our ME vacation we actually spent more money on food than on entertainment. Of, course, the wonderful loveliness of nature there is free. Really, I am so happy for you, Irish Miss. Enjoy.<br /><br />UTEP is common crosswordese. Even when I don't get the clue, I know it as a possible university name.<br /><br />We had all those named cures as a child. I still have Merthiolate and it works well. I like Neosporin. Even its no name version is good. I haven’t heard of campho phenique since I was a child. We were given cod liver oil drops for a short time, but mom let up on that.

I was on a cruise and injured my leg while on a shore excursion. When I got back to the ship, I went to the infirmary thinking they would just cleanse the cut and bandage it. Unfortunately, it was more severe than I thought and needed stitches. The female physician was from South Africa, I believe, and had a strong accent, so when she asked me if I was allergic to eye-o-din, I think she had to repeat it three times before I realized she meant iodine.<br /><br />Had a baked, stuffed lobster for lunch and now I am a stuffed lady! It was super delicious. We say goodbye to Maine tomorrow.
