I've recently started a new activity - selling items on Ebay (www.blackthornebay.com) - and I must say it's an interesting learning experience. It can take me hours right now to put everything together for one listing because I'm trying to experiment, research and see what's going on.

Yes, BT is travelling again. But this time it's just a whisper of a ride over the mountain pass to the lovely Yakima Valley appellation here in Washington. Every year over President's Day weekend, they host an open wine-tasting called Red Wine & Chocolate....as these are two of my favorite things, ...

Cystic Fibrosis Diet

Here's some food for thought: The DS creates a condition in the intestines which is very similar to that of Cystic Fibrosis. They have a thick mucus on the walls of their intestines, and don't produce enough pancreatic enzymes. Because of this, they, too, malabsorb fat. ...

We have been without power since last Thursday - four days now. I still do not know anyone who actually has power restored, although I do know several that have generators now. The food in our refrigerator has all gone bad, and is now filling the garbage can. We're hoping ...

...in size 10 jeans.

Wow.

That was my mother's size. The last time I was my mother's size, I was in sixth grade. I don't remember what I weighed in 6th grade, but I was 114lbs in 5th grade and 135 in 7th, so let's say 125? I was a good ...

When I met with Dr Anthone for my annual (aka 14 month) follow-up a few weeks ago, he gave me a prescription for 50,000 units of Dry D3 to take. It's a weekly tablet which currently makes it the *easiest* prescription I've ever had. Normally it's done for 12 weeks, but ...

Uncharted Territory

10/11/2006 I was recently talking with someone about being in my 40's, and I responded that the 40's are great - I've lost weight, gotten promoted & sold my house! (The paperwork is in the mail - closing should be within a week) For the most ...

9/15/2006 SoOOoooOOooo many things have happened in the last year, some good, some not. Most of you know that this time last year I was in Brazil, a new post-op of only a few hours.

It's getting chilly here in Seattle, and I needed something long sleeved. ...

07/31/2006 Where does the time go? A year ago (Aug 2nd), I got my surgery date, and knew I was going to Brazil for surgery. It's been over a year since I was laid off, and it's been six months since I left Florida. A year ...
