Sounds like you're in an area with lots of good care. We've debated
moving out west when my MIL is no longer with us but haven't fully
decided yet. One reason for staying in this area is that we're well established with good medical care and a lot of specialised care
available in the area if needed.

At 82 I don't make long-range plans. Bv)=

Quite so. We even have the Simmons Cancer Institute.

Not heard of that one but I presume a top tier one.

Accordig to their on-line blurb: "Simmons Cancer Institute offers comprehensive cancer care, research and education at SIU School of
Medicine." The doctor who did my gall bladder surgery is based there.

Cats are a different class of moocher. I had a cat once that followed
me around like a dog and demonstrated several dog-like traits. So much
so that I named her "Spot". One time I shared some leftover on the plate

Wasn't that the name of Data's (from Star Trek, The Next Generation)
cat also? My youngest sister just adopted a rescue kitten, part Bengal name Larry.

Yes, it was. A fact I learned post naming. I really don't waqtch much
Babble Box .... except when I managed the satellite shop,

spaghetti w/meat sauce. Spot licked the sauce from the hamburger and
the noodles and left them behind. I really hated it when she
contracted feline aids and I had to tell the vet to do the obvious.

It's never easy; we had to give up our last cat because of health
issues. Folks that adopted her specialised in taking cats with health challenges so I hope she lived to a ripe old age. Never knew how old
she was; she was abused as a kitten and adopted out of a German animal shelter.

Title: Sauce for Fireside's General Tso
Categories: Sauces, Oriental, Chilies
Yield: 3 Ounce

I've never ordered General Tso's chicken, prefer other dishes. Steve
has, from time to time, but thinking back, don't think he has in the
past few years. Maybe losing his heat tolerance?

Regular spicy stays with you .... which is all that Tso usually has.
But really spicy/hot/incendiary requires training/maintenance. I don't
go for stuff as hot as I used to - for that very reason. But I still
put a glug of Frank's in my tomato juice.

I've come way down on my heat tolerance level. It was a high medium in
AZ and first part of HI, now down to mild with a bit of a kick.

Popeyes spicy chicken is fairly mild. But if I want to get stupid they
offer a Ghost Pepper spiced sandwich or wings.

I go for the mild white; I like the taste of it better than spicy, dark.

They (Popeyes) have come up with another new "special" flavour for their chicken sandwiches .... according to their e-mail solicitation "Make it

tomorrow. Doing two doctor appointments today - regular croaker in the
morning then the pulmonologist this afternoon for a pro-op check before
they remove something from my right lung.

So, if I miss lunch today I'll do it tomorrow. Plus Popeyes is offering
