Great! I look forward to your posts about your beagle. I miss Amstel. I can hear him now.

How is that house going?

And you have a homeopath in your life? I'm using a method dubbed "practical homeopathy" which is probably very different from that of your sil. It's been structured for anyone to be able to use for everyday ailments, and is very effective for just about any illness. I treated an infection on my hand a couple days ago, one that would have sent me for medical care five years ago. One dose, and within a few hours it was noticeably improved, gone the next morning. That stuff is fabulous!
