Hi Dave,


 DD> That's why some smart person made toothpicks.  Bv)=

 RH> Even those don't get quite everything as I've found. Floss is harder to
 RH> use since my wrists don't bend that well so the Water Pik is a big
 RH> help.

 DD> Plus you gotta have a gap between your teeth at the bottom. Some of my
 DD> teeth wouldn't let the string through.

The Water Pik will get into areas where even floss can't.

 DD>      8<----- NIP ----->80

 DD> Off to the pulmonologist this ayem to get him to give mw a script for
 DD> a home oxygen concentrator and a porta-pack to carry along when out of
 DD> the house. I had that set-up for more than a year but things improved
 DD> to the point I didn't see the need to tie up equipment I didn't really
 DD> need. And two years down the road things have changed dramatically - I
 DD> can't walk into the kitchen for a glas of water or cup of coffee and
 DD> back to my computer without running out of air. I'ts the tiniest bit
 DD> scary.  Bv)=

 RH> Hope all goes well. I've been on O2 at night for a couple of years now,
 RH> just got bumped up to 3 lpm from 2, had a CT scan on Monday. Results
 RH> showed some more deteroraton since the last one done, in August of last
 RH> year.

 DD> I'll be/am hooked up all the time at home. and if I go out/to work I
 DD> take the portable guy. It really makes a difference. Now I can walk
 DD> across
 DD> the house to the kitchen for a glass of ice water and back without
 DD> getting winded. just have to be careful not to trip over my tail".

 RH> Not good; I'm just using it at bedtime. Didn't use it for a couple of
 RH> nights this week as I got hit with a noro-type virus, after Steve had
 RH> it. Didn't eat a lot the first couple of days, think I can handle
 RH> regular food today.

 DD> Give this one a try. I made them last night using a bag of frozen
 DD> shrimp from the freezzer, Hardest part was pulling the tails off of
 DD> the tail-on shrimp.


 DD>       Title: Crispy Shrimp Burgers
 DD>  Categories: Seafood, Vegetables, Herbs, Chilies
 DD>       Yield: 4 servings

Something to think about--and see if we have any shrimp in the freezer.
BTW, Steve won the church's chili cook unanimously off last night. We've
a much larger congregation now; they limited entrys to 10 (bad thinking)
but only had 8. He smoked a couple of London broils coated with a chili
rub, used all kinds of frozen peppers we had on hand plus some powdered
chilis. I stayed away; still a bit unsettled from the bug. Should be
better tomorrow, each day has been better than the last.
