Some good news: I saw my allergist today which took me off of all inhalers
but the albuterol since my nasty cough disappeared after my stents were put
in.  I have to talk to my cardiologist this month to get his approval and
see if I can be put on medication that is not a beta blocker but I may, in
December, start up my allergy shots again.  I had them 41 years ago and
until recently, they did a wonderful job of keeping nearly all of my
allergies at bay.  My allergist just wants to make sure my heart can handle
the stress of immunotherapy like that.

Definitely not a "lady" as a lady wouldn't do that.

That reminds me of someone who had a grudge with someone else in my (field
artillery) battery in the Army who smeared fresh dog doo all over the other
person's HMMMV exhaust manifold.

I was interviewed by various superior officers and NCOs but I never gave up
my secret.  I just acted stupid--something that is in large supply in the
Army evidently--and the real perp got an honorable discharge a few years
later, heh.

  lard in large heavy kettle; add meat, about 1 pound at a time,
  removing after each pound is browned. After all four pounds are
  browned, put onions and garlic in kettle and cook until soft. Return
  all beef to kettle. Rinse cactus pieces in cold water; drain and add
  to beef. Also add peppers, green tomatoes, tomato paste, beef stock,
  coriander, cumin, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer about 2 1/2
  hours. Makes about 2 1/2 quarts. * If using fresh tomatillos,
  increase beef stock or broth to 3 cups. When a blue norther was
  howlin' across the plains, a plate of Cyclone Chili tasted mighty
  fine to a cowboy. Green tomatoees and pieces of cactus, thrown in
  with the beef and peppers, sure helped chase away the cold. from
