A Rash of Suspicious Coincidences

Days Walking - 68

This just in:
Gabe is well again, yay! And Anneli's rash has begun to clear up suddenly. This suspiciously coincides with her running out of her favorite snack, Ranch Flavored Corn Nuts. (Maybe Jake was arguing with her the other day about her ranch-flavored breath?)

Church is considering the possibility that Anneli's rash was a result of a food allergy. Or mebbe she was allergic to Jake, hmn...

It seems that folks have a lot more food allergies than they realize, and the effects can range from mild to extreme. The weird thing about allergies is that they can develop over time. And something that you've never had a problem with before can suddenly cause a reaction. Funky.

How does a person's body decide one day "I hate Ranch Corn Nuts!"? I'm not allergic to anything, personally. I don't know how you highly allergic people manage. I had a friend in third grade who was allergic to milk, peanuts and bee-stings. Good grief.

I would like to report that we took a temperature reading of 6 Degrees F today, and that was with the wind chill!! Wheeee!

Hey Hey! Give up the love for the Kitty! Who's my baby?



Does anyone else get Gizzard Giggles? I was on the sat-phone with my Dad last night, and he was chiding me (for a personal, completely deserved reason - cause I am bad) and I got the Gizzard Giggles.

...It's when someone you're very close to gives you that special look or grin or tone of voice, and your stomach and innards and yes, gizzard tighten up and quiver a bit for a split second as you feel that "hee hee hee I am loved!" sensation.

Here's a snippet of our conversation:
(Not the chiding, GG portion)

"Did you tell her (Joann) about me?"
"Of course I did."
"What did she say?"
"She said you sounded interesting."
"In the good way or the bad way?"
"Is there a bad way?"
"Of course there is."
"Such as?"
"Well, if you pause as you say 'In...teresting', that's the bad way."
"Oh Yeah, she said it in the bad way."
"Really?!" Dismayed.
"No." Chuckling.
"Aarrrghghhggh!"

Dad likes to push my buttons. You'd think a man in his MID FORTIES would have better things to do. Like tell me he loves and misses me. Which he does of course. Hee Hee Hee!

Cute cat, glad to know she's doing better.

Sounds like it's getting warmer (relatively) for you guys. Today it is 35F here, after being in the 70's and 80's like a week ago. Winter just doesn't quite know when to quit.

Beautiful cat - the only breed that makes me sad at the one thing I am allergic to: cats!
