Thanks for that squirrel but tic tacs not such a great choice for this diabetic but I have been sucking on fresh pineapple which does soothe the throat quite a bit. While others have a post nasal drip - I'm eperiencing a glue river and that is the cause of all the coughing so it's onto the old fashi...

It's supposed to be summer here but so far, while the weather is mild to warm, only 2 hot days so far and several cold nights but weeks and weeks of wind that has reallt wound up all the allergies - a tap on my nose would help but it is the throat full of sandpaper cused by all the coughing that is ...

Later in life he bred cats and by the time he passed he was down to just 2 cats. One died then I had to have his stud cat ...

I must admit I'm always surprised you cannot buy 1/2 width pieces in the US and UK when I can in New Zealand where the available selection of embroidery fabrics is a fraction of what you have available.
