Kidney Stones and Herbal Remedies

::Onesome: Kidney--beans? Lima Beans? Pinto beans? Which legumes do you like to cook with? Hmmm... A hot pot of chili sounds good this week!

• Which is really amusing since we JUST made chili last weekend. We like kidney beans (well, A doesn't), black beans (Tarzan REALLY likes the black beans) and white beans. No likey the Lima beans - they're so dry. Pinto are fine, Navy are fine, Boston baked are fine. We likes beans.

::Twosome: Stones?-- Monoliths? Pebbles? Do you use any of these in decorating? Heck, we'll even count marbles in vases!

• Good thing too, since that's about all we get to, marbles in vases. Oh, and big rocks in the front yard. We'd like to get the pavers and gravel borders in the back...maybe in a few weeks when I'm free of this employment coil.

::Threesome: and herbal remedies-- Hey, there's a good one: do you have any herbal remedies for us to try? Anything? I'm betting this bunch will have a trick or two to work with!

• I don't really - we eat lots of oranges and grapefruit for vitaminC. Actually we like to get all our vitamins from the actual food rather than pills. Tarzan's parents on the other hand...they do the cod liver oil, emu oil, St. John's Wort route. They are much more suited for this question than we.

This is me, back in the swing.
