   Hi Ben,   
      
   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.   
      
    BC> He didn't say anything about his parents' childhood, though he did say   
    BC> that they were descended from fairly recent immigrants from an eastern   
    BC> European country, i forgot which.  He was too old to be a hippie, let   
    BC> alone his   
      
   Sort of wish you could have talked with him some more? Every so often   
   I'll read something about somebody I never knew or knew for part of my   
   past life and realise I never knew that. Especially with people I knew;   
   it would have added a new dimension to our friendship.   
      
    BC> parents.  He did tell me that his mother became a widow and she moved   
    BC> in with him when she couldn't take care of herself any more.  He   
    BC> remembered her kindness and made sure she had her own place to retreat   
    BC> to where she wouldn't be disturbed.   
      
   Sweet! At one point we thought my dad would pre-decease my mom (He was 7   
   years older and had several health issues.) and we would be the ones to   
   take mom in. As things worked out, she developed Alzheimer's ane we had   
   to put her into care for that. She predeceased Dad by 3 years; he went   
   into a nursing home a couple of months after her death. As things are   
   turning out, we're not caring for Steve's parents either--Dad passed   
   away 4 years ago, Mom is in assisted living.   
      
   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)   
      
    BC> Sunday the indoor kitty recovered to the point where she could walk   
    BC> again and she spent the afternoon napping in the sun outside.  I have   
    BC> hope!   
      
   Sounds  like she's getting her motor recharged.   
      
    BC> A friend of mine had two dogs with arthritis.  He gave them a   
    BC> combination of 4 ingredients, CBD, Kelp, and i forgot the other two.   
    BC> Said it helped a lot.   
      
   Whatever works. We had to rehome our last cat when she developed some   
   health issues. It got to the point where we told the vet to either find   
   someone willing to take on a cat with health issues or put her down. The   
   vet was thinking surgery (which we couldn't afford would be the next   
   option and we were moving (military) in a short time. The vet found an   
   older couple, willing to take on a cat with health challenges; they fell   
   in love with Jenny-cat when we brought her to meet them. Hopefully she   
   lived a long, happy life.   
      
      
    BC>       Title: Broccoli Fridge Clean Out Soup   
    BC>  Categories: Soups   
    BC>       Yield: 4 Servings   
      
   Sounds like what I've done different times. I've made "Monday (or   
   whatever night of the week it's made) Night Surprise" as a clean out   
   odds and ends from the fridge meal. Last night tho, I made rouladen,   
   flank steak pounded thin or round steak cuts, spread with mustard,   
   topped with a dill pickle spear and slice of bacon, then browned, and   
   braised, chopped onion in the braise broth. The broth is made into   
   gravy. Served with red cabbage and mische brot (German sourdough, found   
   at Wegman's. I may cook some noodles to go with the left overs later   
   this week.
