Last time we went to eat seafood the crab had been lightly seasoned with celery salt. She simply licked her fingers and her throat started to swell up. Luckily after a few minutes it went down and she didn't start suffocating. I don't even want to imagine what would have happened had she taken a full bite.<br /><br />The weird thing is that it's an allergy she developed only in the past few years. Before that she'd always been able to eat it. Her allergist believes it's related to the pollen that's carried on the celery, and that over time as the pollen changes she may be able to eat it again.<br /><br />I know, weird, right?A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-27470964832629014042016-01-15T18:52:25.943-05:002016-01-15T18:52:25.943-05:00Not only that, the girl who runs our exercise clas...Not only that, the girl who runs our exercise class said it is good to have "fitter" legs for the operation.

Scotto and I have been doing twenty minute Yoga sessions for his back in our lounge room watching a Youtube video. The dogs join in! He has a compressed disc and he thinks it's improving with the Yoga. A lot of the positions are the same as the ones a physiotherapist gave me for a sore back last year. How pretty that snow looks! Snow devil is such a poetic name. We call our dust devils, willy willies.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09174682655234764319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-36375744744625836962016-01-15T15:59:29.380-05:002016-01-15T15:59:29.380-05:00Could probably have done so in '98 Alex.
