Shame on you. I have 4. (both my DVRs have them - becasue those suckers take forver to come back online if the power flickers...given the number of thunderstorms we get in FL in the summer...it was a real pain untile we got them) My desktops/cable modem/routers/are all on UPSs) wish I could get my microwave on one...not for the microwave part for the damn clock. It flashes 'set time' when there is the littlest fluctuation in power...and it is pain to reset. The damn thing won't work until you do.

The worst part is that some of these drugs have modes of entry I'm unaccustomed to. I've never taken a nasal spray or inhalant med before. The fluticasone doesn't smell that good. Kinda like plant food. I'm about to do the albuterol for the first time. Will report on the taste.

I wish I knew an expert who could consult on my power fluctuation needs......

It doesn't have much. Did they show you how to use the inhaler before the gave it to you? Not using it properly will render it pretty useless.

Yeah he showed me. Hold it 1-2 inches out, make a puff and inhale it. Don't jam it all the way in and spray the back of your throat.

CVS gave me this tube thing you connect to the med, it's 5-6 inches long, clear. That's supposed to help too.

Good. I see people with inhalers and it looks like they are trying to swallow them - not effective. Proventil has a litte bit of a taste. It isn't bad. Ventolin doesn't (same church, different pew). They all worked better before they had to change the propelant in them at the beginning of this year.

745 and dropping fast

True, but you can never have too much Mickey Mantle!

Is your grandchild going to be named SEVEN?

No, she is not Borg.

I mean, was Ponderosa a spinoff of Bonanza, or was it the other way around?

Lorne Green and my dad were friends/classmates growing up in Toronto.

I didn't know that Bonanza steak house was still in business. The one here (Selma, actually) closed maybe 15 years ago. So long ago that 3 different Chinese buffets have come and gone in the same location. The one in Durham, on Roxboro Rd., is also long gone. I remember getting their T-bone steak for well under $3, including baked potato and Texas Toast. Probably ate there a couple of times a month while in school.
