Dear Ginnie

i am sorry about your ankles! i hate progressive diseases. they should just... arghh... be not allowed! there!

Good luck tomorrow, i hope the pain med works well and you are able to get stuff done to your satisfaction. just being in the yard will be good for your spirits i think.

~ waves ~ who also loves hot-dogs... sigh... but i only eat them maybe couple times a year.... i don't know how you prep yours, but you know what i do? i poke holes in it all up and down and around, then i boil it in a bowl in the microwave for about a min... a good bit of fat seeps out that way. it also gets some of the salt out. you can also use stovetop, same principle but slower.
