   Hi Ruth,   
      
   RH> Sounds like his parents were definatly taking a different path to child   
   RH> rearing--makes me wonder (my sociology/psychology studies coming out--G--)   
   RH> what their childhood was like. They were too old to be of the hippie   
   RH> generation where that sort of child raising was more common.   
      
   He didn't say anything about his parents' childhood, though he did say that   
   they were descended from fairly recent immigrants from an eastern European   
   country, i forgot which.  He was too old to be a hippie, let alone his   
   parents.  He did tell me that his mother became a widow and she moved in   
   with him when she couldn't take care of herself any more.  He remembered   
   her kindness and made sure she had her own place to retreat to where she   
   wouldn't be disturbed.   
      
   RH> Poor kitty, hope she gets better quickly. We can't have any dogs or cats   
   RH> but sometimes take care of our neighbor's cocker spaniel. His vet   
   RH> reccommended that he have 2 or 3 spoonsful of green beans (canned) with   
   RH> his kibble--never heard of that before. Our cocker spaniel would eat most   
   RH> anything but I don't remember him eating green beans. His favorite human   
   RH> food was popcorn. (G)   
      
   Sunday the indoor kitty recovered to the point where she could walk again   
   and she spent the afternoon napping in the sun outside.  I have hope!   
      
   A friend of mine had two dogs with arthritis.  He gave them a combination   
   of 4 ingredients, CBD, Kelp, and i forgot the other two.  Said it helped   
   a lot.

     Eliminate waste and make a delicious dinner with this Broccoli Fridge   
     Clean-Out Soup! Rich and creamy, with optional grilled cheese   
     croutons.   
        
     In a large pot, heat butter and oil over medium heat. Add the diced   
     celery, carrots, and onion with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Saute   
     for 8 to 10 minutes.   
        
     Stir in the oregano and 1 cup of hearty greens around the 5 minute   
     mark. Cook until the greens are wilted.   
        
     Add the roasted vegetables, vegetable broth (start with 3 cups), and   
     roasted garlic. Bring to a simmer and cook for at least 5 minutes, or   
     up to 20 minutes for deeper flavor.   
        
     Transfer to a blender (or use an immersion blender). Add the   
     remaining 2 cups of hearty greens and blend until smooth. Add more   
     broth if needed to adjust thickness.   
        
     Stir in vegan coconut cream or plant milk for an even silkier texture.   
        
     Top with grilled cheese croutons and enjoy!   
        
     Preheat your oven to 400?F (200?C). Spread the broccoli, zucchini,   
     and mushrooms on a baking tray and roast for 30 minutes. Roasting   
     brings out a rich, deep flavor.
