Thanks, aomagrat, for the history of the USS Dunlop. She just missed being in Pearl Harbor on 12/7/41, and earned 6 battle stars.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sleep well, Ms Pooh. Long working hours. *HUGS*

Kathy Thank You.

I am feeling a little sorry for myself. I was just getting over the last cold and then I attended my Godchilds's birthday party. I am infected again.

My nose is going to fall off even using Puffs with lotion.

I resent the indignity of colds the most. All that mucus seems a little unnecessary.

At least it wasn't flu.

[TASMANIANRED]

Lauren, Thank you for the kind thoughts.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thank goodness for small favors....no flu. I was introduced to this on vacation.

Had the need a couple times. Either they worked, or the sniffles were allergies maybe. AND...they come in pill form!

[TASMANIANRED]

Thanks Old Sarge, you are a hoot.

I have had back to back colds. Infected by a little kid this time.

I've been judiciously taking a preparation of honey, lemon, and bourbon. Works wonders for the cough.

[TASMANIANRED]

Lady Jag, Thanks for the kind thoughts.

I've been hanging out on the couch with my tissues handy.

My nose is getting sore. I was just getting over the last one when I was laid low a second time.

[Fawnn]

Yep! And now I remember that it's one I like, too! (And I'm usually not a Tony Bennett fan. IMO, Bennett gets all the credit that should go to Al Martino. LOL)

[Fawnn]

I know there are others out there, but I found this one (that by the time I get caught up I'll probably find that somebody's already showed you LOL):

FYI: After Tony, I listened to Al Martino ("To the Door of the Sun") and Al got played twice three times, so he's still the winner, and now I don't have to feel I've been unfaithful for listening to Bennett. ;)

I don't do pickles...unless they're bred -n butter, sweet gherkins or watermelon rind.

I've never had the last one, but the first two are my favorites, too! Especially candied sweet pickles! (I don't do dill pickles as a rule. Only time I like them is on a Big Boy.)

Have you ever had these candied pickles?

Watermelon rind pickles are very sweet- they taste like candy!! :o)

I have never seen those pickles before - I'm not a connoisseur by any stretch, I just don't like dills either!!
