Hi melonwhelz, Sorry I didn't respond sooner, had a rough week taking my dog who has an incurable disease to all these different vets. He will be okay and I will just pray for the best as he is my bestest friend. Anyway, the day after I posted, I started to spot, thought I was going to get my period, but nope! It never happened. I have to make an app't to see my gyno. Yes, my body is very confused and sending mixed messages to my brain which I hate! At least when I had Lyme I knew all my symptoms including the mood swings and depression, but this is a whole new ballgame! I am feeling a different type of depression, almost like I am bored but too tired to do anything about it. I did receive the book "Awakening at Midlife" yesterday so I am going to start reading that. How is your sister? I help many people who have Lyme Disease because it is horrible and so misunderstood, especially by doctors because they don't know how to treat it. What helped me recover was following a book written by a brilliant doctor named Dr. David Jernigan (Beating Lyme Disease Using Alternative Medicine". I know so many people that are cured now because of Dr. Jernigan. Maybe your sister should buy the book? Anyway, I feel so drained, is that normal? I need to vacuum and do some laundry but I'm not doing it, LOL! I am laughing at your drumroll:::: THE CHANGE! Oh why oh why don't men get this? Yeah, I'm bad. Denise

Anne-That sounds so good.I love liver smothered in onions.Haven't had it in years! DH will not eat it and can't stand the smell when it is cooking so I never fix it.I have tried eating it a few times at different restaurants but it just doesn't taste the same as homemade.I like fried chicken livers too and will order those sometimes but they aren't the same as smothered calf liver! I think I may buy some and make it Saturday.DH and DGD will be going to the drag races so I can cook it without anyone else having to smell it,then Febreeze the house before they get back!LOL Yep,that's what I'm gonna do!

Hi TS: you would do that? Thank you. I found a vendor, superhotchiles.com that has plants and I am going to buy two plants from him. Lets see how that turns out. I learned that the heat comes later in this pepper instead of at the beginning, as in Thai peppers, which is why it is prized in some foods. Then you taste all the other flavors before the heat numbs. It will be nice to hear what your friend has to say. Thank you! K.

Straw: I would rate the climate of Amman close to 9a or 8b of USDA standards with few big differences. It has cool and wet winters with lot of rains and some snow and warm (but not very hot) summers with no rains. I think this aspect also plays an important role in the size of roses here. The roses grow huge in the Northern Areas of Pakistan as well and it also has cool summers with almost no rains along with very cold and wet winters. Additionally, the ground bed naturally has little soil in Amman area as it is mostly composed of limestone rock. Most soil put in the gardens for growing roses / other plants is brought from other places and looks like a fertile well drained soil to me. best regards to
