The way you handle and cope at times like this is just bloody amazing. You are a great Mom. Pat yourself on the back, I know I
would do it for you if I were there. One step at a time...
80sFan just saw your post now. Sorry you and your little one went through that. Hope it's been smooth sailing since.

I'm bummed about something much more trivial.
I just bought the third book in the Bill Hodges trilogy. I hunted and found the first book. But book two is missing. I was sure I had loaned it to my sister, but she says no, she bought it herself. Now, I know she would not lie. If she says she bought it, she truly believes she bought it. And she loans me so many books even if she's wrong, I just can't really be upset or angry with her.
But I want to read all three, and I don't have the middle one. It is ironic though isn't it. I have lost Finders Keepers.

AnnaMarie - thanks for the good thoughts!
I'd be bummed about not having Finders Keepers too!

Had to rush my mom to the ER the day before Mother's Day and she spent the rest of Saturday and most of Sunday in the hospital. The older of my two sisters could not be there, but the younger one was, and is now suffering flashbacks or something because the hospital brought back traumas from fifty years ago involving Mom. Tomorrow we have physical therapy and a doctor's appointment. Have so much I want to do but don't want to settle too much into anything because all hell keeps breaking loose. Also Mom has cataract surgery in a little over a week and right after that I have to attend my best friend's mother's memorial service. Stressed!
I need you guys to all put your heads together and see if the name Brian Fairchild means anything to you.

keeping you and your mother in my prayers. May she feel better soon.
I second this. But I soak them in salt water for about 10 minutes after removing the silks. After pulling the husks back up I wrap them in aluminum foil which helps to keep the moisture in even more. Best corn-on-the-cob ever. And I've parked my gas grill in the corner and have gone completely charcoal grilling. But I use Cowboy Hardwood Lump Charcoal instead of those charcoal briquettes. It provides a much better taste to the food IMO.
If you ever want quickie corn on the cob, leave the husks on and put them in the microwave for about 5 minutes. Of course, this is not going to compare to your grill method but for quick corn on the cob, it works very well. Watch your fingers, trying to get the husks off after they come out of the microwave. Ouch!
Thanks. Will have to try this on a rainy day.If you ever want quickie corn on the cob, leave the husks on and put them in the microwave for about 5 minutes.

If you ever need an instant cold beer and none are in the fridge.
I did the trick with the dust spray the other week and it worked pretty well.
The dust spray looks like a good method. The drill looks like too much work but the video did give me an idea. I may get a socket that fits a beer bottle and keep a drill with the socket close by to open my beer with.
We have been told that we are moving offices...I hate moving.
