1. I always thought that rust had a big part to play in obtaining a tetanus shot after a cut, but I recently found out that it's a bacteria which doesn't require rust to be present. Apparently, rust encourages bacteria to thrive...

ElicBxn Sorry about your bonsai tree, I think those are so beautiful. Since I have a black thumb I've never wanted to condemned one to death. I knew that about tetanus, I had to get a tetanus shot after getting a splinter out at a riding stable. Heck, I've had one...

I spent part of today scanning more old photos into my computer. I found this one which was taken in spring 2000. My garden looks different. The lawn has poppies growing in it. Personally, I think it looks great but hubs hated...

ElicBxn @rebelann I've been suffering from dry mouth for about a year. My dentist told me that I could suffer from more tooth trouble if I continued and he recommended XyliMelts. There are others out there. I use the XyliMelts slightly sweet and the Act Honey-Lemon...

ElicBxn @rebelann yeah, I've been through there, my mom had a condo in Colorado for about 10 years that she'd go up to in the summer. Right now, despite it normally being rather humid, its dry and my sinuses are telling me stories, bad stories.

ElicBxn I tell people that want to come to Texas is to come in the winter. I remember one day we were sitting around downtown all bundled up in coats and a couple came in in shorts and tank tops... they were from Canada.

ElicBxn I've driven through Midland, I very much doubt I would like it. I do like Austin, but it is where I grew up and live now. The biggest problem with Austin is HOW big it has gotten, 11 largest city in the U.S.

ElicBxn I was pretty upset with the way the hospital and rehab kept sending her home, but I also knew it was the insurance companies calling the shots. It's a shame when faceless people in offices are telling the doctors what to do.

ElicBxn Things are improved from when she got sick back in September. Except that spending 2 and a half months in bed has made her very weak and made her dizzy spells much worse.

ElicBxn Its pretty much it. She's home now. She did have a procedure that replaced her PD catheter last week, so come mid-January she will go back on PD rather than hemo that she's been on since about September 15th.
