OT -- need time wasters...
I'm finding myself more and more laid up... and it is too hard to sew...
cuz I can't hold my neck or my head the way I need to... to do it! GRRR But I can kill time in my recliner... head supported... laptop in my lap. So what online games do you recommend that will help me kill time? PS -- took the MRI scans to the MD today -- hopefully they'll have a treatment plan soon! I don't know what I'm going to do about dinner next Thursday.

ouch!
hugz, Kate. try this site, plenty of games to amuse, well distract anyhow. www.wellgames.com if ya need more when these wear thin, holler. we dont do Tday here and i've forgotten what all it entails. how many are expected? surely the others can cope. how about just doing T Breasts with simple trimmings, roast all the vege in the oven along with the breast. open a can or three of the cranberry. use frozen pies for dessert. not the best in town but when mum is laid up, ya be lucky if ya dont get pizza delivered. hmm, does pizza hut do turkey and cranberry pizza? we just had a chicken with cranberry sauce here last night. we rarely do pizza so it was a treat. get well soon, tootsie!! more gentle {{{{{KATE}}}}}}}}}} j.

So what online games do you recommend that will help me kill time? Maybe you also need something not based round the computer? I was in Romania this summer and discovered the Moldavian kaval, which is a very large whistle made of very light wood. You can easily play it lying flat on your back, and the sound is quiet so you don't wake the whole house up. There are other kinds of low whistles made of light materials that would work as well - look at http://nadishana.com for some really lovely ones (he's based in Germany but they're light to ship as they're all made of PVC plumbing pipe). Remember you'll need an instrument you play vertically, not a transverse flute, and it needs to be BIG and LOW because the sound of a high one will drive you and those around you nuts if you play it for a long time. Doesn't matter if you never get to be any good on it, they're great fun to just noodle around on and hear what sounds and patterns you can make. Look up "Moldvai kaval", "fujara", and "low whistle" on YouTube. I'd go for one of the first two as there's less pressure to Get It Right and play definite tunes in a standard way; the Western- type low whistle is mainly used for Irish music and those guys can be pretty judgmental, it'll be hard to keep them out of your head even if you're alone in bed with the thing. (If you do go for a low whistle, get a wooden or plastic one, they're lighter than aluminium or steel by a long way). ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === http://www.campin.me.uk ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts |

Sounds as if surgery may be in your future. DH went through the same thing
back in the 70's. As for Thanksgiving dinner, let Meijers or Krogers fix it for you. They both have full meals for that day. Gen "Kate G." wrote in message ...
