GRRRRRRRRR. Here's another chapter from the book of "It's Always Something". Was leaving to run some errands and the garage door busted. Can't get it open and the car is in. Now, I'm sitting here waiting for a call back from the repair shop to see if they can get here to fix it. The door is all ****-eyed in the opening and won't budge...about 1/4 open. I could spit.

Sorry. Spit away!

Yes every two and you should be in the hospital I agree with that. If your allergist said it was ok then I guess it's ok. If your ever curious though, check with a pharmacist.

Yup, I pretty much try to listen to him. He's an expert in asthma after all. I tend to not always believe doctors who don't know me, but since he's been treating me for the past decade, he knows my asthma pretty well. I trust him too because he listens to me and has been willing to say, "You know, I really don't know," and he'll go confer with a colleague or look something up rather than assume he's right. Sign of a good doctor IMO.

Initially, we started out with just twice a day pulmicort nebs, but when he saw how much better I was with both medications instead of just one (and we did two breathing tests at his office; one after the albuterol and one after the pulmicort), he decided that combining the medications every four hours was what I should do. Technically the prescription on the box says twice a day, but he always wrote it for school forms for every four hours and lets me take it every four hours. At this point, I've been doing this for years, so why change now? He also doesn't like changing my meds too much because sometimes I just react so badly that it wasn't worth it. Even when I went on the controllers, he put me on half a dose (one puff instead of two) just to make sure I wouldn't react badly.

Asthma is weird. Especially mine.

I stand corrected! Hey wait a minute, they might be on vacation. And if there is snow is that the Ice Age and shouldn't they be in trouble? Now I've confused myself.

I never had Tuna until I was well into adulthood. Never had a cheese sandwich either, unless it was grilled cheese at home. We only could stay at school for lunch if it was bitter cold, I lived a mile away and my Mom when I was young did not drive. So I walked or rode my bike. We had indoor bike racks down a ramp into the basement of the school. But a Mile going, 2 miles round trip at lunch and a mile home. Reason why we kids were all skinny.

By the time we'd get home at lunch we'd eat and turn around and go back. If the weather was wet or snowy my Mom and neighbor Moms would give us all lunch money and we'd go to the Plush Pup or to the Coffee House for lunch which was right across the busy road from our elementary school. By Junior High we could stay for lunch and there was hot lunch available which I did in both Jr & High School. By then my Mom was back teaching 2 towns over and it was easier to just give us money. As soon as my kids hit high school they got lunch money for the week too, that was the first time lunch could be purchased at school for my kids. While our middle school here has a cafeteria it was never functional while my kids were in the system, just not enough kids in district to cover the costs I was told.

Walked to school and back home all the way through elementary. Mostly ate home made sack lunches in the cafeteria, but, we were also occasionally given money to purchase the school lunch. Had to ride the bus to junior high' cause it was 6 miles down the road.
From then on, I only ever remember eating sack lunches all the way through junior high, and when we moved back to Texas, all the way through HS. Except for the occasional snack bar burrito in HS.

Do you ever watch his "No Reservations" shows? I think he's so interesting, and very personable. He's gone to some of the most exotic locales and has a gift of presenting the culture and history of a location, in addition to the local cuisine and customs. It's an excellent show.

Yes I loved that show. He has another show now on CNN but I've never seen it. He is on the Taste and I watch that. I love all the chefs on there especially Nigella Lawson.

My mom's family were Dutch immigrants that settled in Virginia in the early 1800s. They eventually made their way to Texas until the Depression hit and they moved north looking for jobs which brought them to NE Ohio.

My dad's family were Scots-Irish immigrants that came over in the 1840s and settled in West Virginia Appalachia. After serving in WWII the men were offered jobs working in steel mills instead of coal mines so they moved to NE Ohio.

Dad met mom in '57 at a drive-in restaurant where her best friend was a carhop. :) That's my history.

Hahaaa...! Cool!
My mom and pop were introduced by mutual friends at a country hall dance here in Texas back in '57. Mom had just graduated from HS. They married 3 years later. :)
