Re: Re: Pain--coming off prednisolone

[Guest guest]

I swear Terry, I need to be duct taped to my chair when I read your

messages, you are so funny I always come close to falling off!! I will

share a secret at the Ilgar household. All the junkfood we have (ok, I know

there should be none lol) we call scooby snacks. We always have since

Kaitlin was little. Last year she finally figured out in the scooby show he

is eating dog food and not junk food. Ok so we are weird, but we are an

interesting bunch LOL

And I say way to go Conner, teaching Dad a new trick, ummmm they make great

trees to cover up the other stuff on your plate you don't want to eat too.

LOL Love, ~Alena's Mom
