JoAnn.... FLASHBACK TIME: Ya just triggered a memory from the early days of my 20+ year marriage (Gee... I've been divorced almost that long!!) <surprised look on face>. We lived in a cute little apartment that had a room air conditioner which to which we had to add water every coupla days. THAT was my hubby's self-appointed chore... One day it was very warm so I made a big pitcher of lemonade Since Ron had put water in the air conditioner just the day before, I used the water pitcher for the lemonade (it was the larger of our two pitchers). Ron came home after work and went into the kitchen where I could hear him puttering around. I started to call out to him to tell him there was a pitcher of frosty cold lemonade, but before I could get that out of my mouth, Ron bustled into our bedroom, water pitcher in hand and heading straight for the ear conditioner. To make a long story shorter, I was laughing soooo hard I couldn't tell him there was lemonade in the pitcher, but as the rich lemony smell surrounded us and the small bits of lemon pulp shot out into the room, he figured out what had me convulsed with laughter (wiping eyes and LOL at memory) and HE just about died laughing himself!!! <LOL> Barb Mallut (wiping eyes while giggling) [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: JoAnn Coen <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tuesday, February 01, 2000 3:49 PM Subject: Re: PMID: 10647860: Breathing pattern in patients withParkinson's disease & w... >Barb - I can't sleep without my " noise maker".
