Kay is always at Walmart - maybe she can pick up some dryer sheets and stuff them in the box with the pick-a-weenie.   ;D  Then you will have a very fresh smelling Rover.

Thanks, Sue & Nani.

If you haven't already, put your birthdays on the AN Calendar so we can all wish you the best that day.

OK, I had to try to find it ...... In The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, Amelia writes:  "Since there was scant butter, less flour, and no sugar to spare on Guernsey then, Will concocted a potato peel pie:  mashed potatoes for filling, strained beets for sweetness, and potato peelings for crust."  Neither Sara's recipe ingredient list, nor this one sounds all that great but it certainly showed what one can concoct in the face of adversity and few available ingredients.

At any rate, I vote for chocolate cake over potato peel pie!!

Jan, I like your idea of a birthday party at the next symposium.

Thanks for the link, Jan. 

I am already looking forward to the next symposium.  Two years feels like forever.  I can't wait to be able to go.

Nani -

the 2011 symposium will be in Cincinnati - I don't think they've posted the exact dates yet.

The 2009 symposium was well worth it - lots of very good information and lots of interaction with other AN patients and AN doctors.  I'm really looking foward to 2011.

I really wish it were yearly.  I couldn't have made this one if I had known about it.  Never been to Cincinnati.  I know where my vaca is gonna be that year!
