Hi Sean,

 DD> You could modify it a bit to be not so tooth achingly sweet. Swap the
 DD> "sweetened condensed milk for regular condensed or evaporated milk -
 DD> or Milnot. And ditch the Kool Whip in favour of real whipped cream.
 DD> Bv)=

 SD> True, I should have realized that.  I ambeing more careful these days.
 SD>  My diabetic retinopathy is now considered an advanced case sao I was
 SD> sent to a local retina specialist.  I'll now be getting shots in my
 SD> eyes, one a week then four weeks between.  The shots are $5000 a piece
 SD> but they work and are 90-95% successful in halting the progression of
 SD> the retinopathy.

Let's hope so, at that price. I saw my retinal specialist (I have an
epiretinal membrane in both eyes.) a couple of weeks ago. She said that
everything was looking good and after about 6 years of monitoring it
with no change, I don't need to see her any more unless it gets worse.
My regular eye doctor was happy to hear that and also said my eyes
looked good otherwise. She prescribed progessive bifocals (I'd worn them
before my cataract surgeries.) with just an astigmatism correction on
the top--said I'd not have to do the on/off thing all the time in
situations where I'd need them for close up but not for distance in the
same setting.

 SD> My mom is getting similar shots in her eyes as her lifelong dry SD>
 macular degeneration turned to wet.  The good news is that it's been
 SD> less than three months and there has been a marked improvement in
 both SD> of her eyes..

Are they a life long necessity or are they discontinued at a certain
point?

We went to the VFW Christmas gathering last night at the local
cafeteria. They catered it, most everything I'd had from regular visits
there but a broccoli casserole was new--and good. If you've been to
Cracker Barrel, they've started offering one and I think the one at The
Forks was similar, but better. I'd had the CB one in October, on our
western trip, and it was good except for the broccoli being in big
pieces. Suggested to the waitress that she pass on to the cooks that it
would be better cut into smaller pieces. It was in smaller pieces last
night; hopefully it will be one of their regular offerings. If so, I'll
try to deconstruct it (mentally) so I can reproduce it at home.
