QUICK FIX FOR HICCUPS, HOPEFULLY

This is a little tip that I got from a home remedies book. Drinking requires a lot of swallowing and doing a lot of swallowing is probably the best way to stop hiccups. Luckily, I haven't had the hiccups in years. Oh no, why did I say that. Now I will soon get them. At least now I know what to do to get rid of them.

Bill is in a class-action lawsuit against Vioxx. He had been taking Vioxx for awhile when he had his strokes. When it was determined that he had a stroke his doctor took him immediately off of it. A little while later it was taken off of the market. Not soon enough, though, to stop the life of a good man from being turned upside down. He is alive, though, and functioning, so we feel very blessed. Anyhow, I started this to say that today we went to the lawyer's office to sign papers. It's a slow process to get to the end because there are so many variables to be considered for them to decide what is going to be a fair settlement for each case. Whatever they decide is not enough for the people who have had their lives severely altered or lost by pure negligence on the pharmaceutical company's part. Money can never make up for what has been lost, but, it can help (no matter how little) with the many medical bills. Plus we have our family and Chris and Dennis (who are really a part of our family) for support. Even more, we have God for support. Surely can't get any better than that.

Okay, enough of that. I mailed my CHRISTMAS cards off today. FINALLY! Won't everyone be surprised when they receive them. I just mailed them to ones that had been sending us cards for the last few years and I couldn't get mine out.

I guess this has been a lot of rambling, but, that is how I am feeling right now. Like a rambler. And I haven't had a drink! More enlightenment from me tomorrow. Goodnight.

ABOUT US

Chris and I became friends over 20 years ago when we were neighbors in the Philippines. We were living there with our families because of our husbands' jobs with Westinghouse. In fact, we were next door neighbors on the compound that we lived in. After returning Stateside, we were lucky enough to have Westinghouse assign our husbands to the same work site. Our husbands are good friends, also. We enjoy each other and feel fortunate to be blessed with such good, loving friends in our lives.

We cannot take credit for the helpful hints, tips or recipes that we put in. These are an accumulation of ones that we have collected over the years and still collect. We won't mind if someone needs a hint or recipe that we haven't posted yet and they want us to try to find it for them. In fact, we would like the challenge!

Chris and I have always loved to collect cookbooks, recipes and hints. You would not believe the number of books and newspaper and magazine clippings that we have. Plus, Dennis, Chris's husband, loves to cook and has some to add to the mix. I know there are those of you out there that have the same sort of collection. I was getting ready to get rid of some unneeded things I have around here and get ready for my huge annual Thanksgiving event. I thought I would share this with "the world" and Chris feels the same way. (Her and I are so much alike, it's scarey sometimes. To our husbands, that is!) Plus both of us are Taurus! Chris might even have some decorating tips for you because she is great at that. That is something that just doesn't come to me and I turn to her.

If you would like to comment on any of our postings, please do. We would love to know who is reading them and if they may in some way be of help. Or just entertaining to someone. We would love to know what you think of our little project.
