Hi Nancy!

 BM> Woke up to just under a quarter-inch of snow!  Not the earliest
 BM> recorded snowfall but definitely towards the the top of that list.  And
 BM> they're talking the possibility of two to three inches on Halloween!
 NB> Which as it turned out, you did get... we only had rain, and then
 NB> high winds Thursday night into Friday afternoon...

Lately has been nice, or at least no more snow - yet.  They are talking
flurries overnight and some accumulation this weekend - maybe an inch.  
Did manage to get most of the leaves picked up for the yard waste
pickup last Monday but lots more waiting to fall.


 BM>> Yet for a very minute percentage a sniffle could be life-threatening.
 NB>> Yup, particularly those with a very compromised immune system, or
 NB>> very susceptible to severe respiratory illness... One of those I used
 NB>> to care for had COPD... if she caught a cold, chances were it would
 NB>> go to pneumonia in no time flat... at the first signs of the latter,
 NB>> I was on the phone with the doctor's office to call in a script for
 NB>> antibiotics... if we caught it in time, we could avoid that trip to
 NB>> the ER...  :)
 BM> Yes....  Sort of reminded me of the handicapped vehicle parking thread
 BM> we had a little while ago.  Maybe the person looks healthy; looks can
 BM> be deceiving.  Same for "oh it's just a runny nose": for most it's
 BM> carry an extra Kleenex, for a few it's doctor time.  As always, no one
 BM> rule or consideration for everyone.
 NB> Exactly... not always self-evident... but one does need to know
 NB> what the situation is for one's self and for those they care
 NB> for.... :)

And even be semi-observant of the people around: not the runny nose will
turn into an episode requiring hospitalization while at the grocery
store but one never knows when a cardiac issue could occur, or even
stretching for a can on the top shelf and getting bopped.  Neither has
happened to me but I some time back I did help a petite little ol' lady
get something from the top shelf and gently warned her to take a step
back in case I jostled a can and it fell.


 NB>> ... Gee! Slow day on the nets ... only 1,100 messages to read!
 BM> I had 100% of the messages in this packet!
 NB> As did I, for this echo, anyway...  ;)

It's been a little quite around here lately; didn't get anything more 
done with the extra time!
