19. nice, paella for Christmas Eve dinner, time for baking
lots of cookies and nutbreads, time to relax and see more folks. It was pretty nice, other than some health problems for my mom.

27. well, she has a variety of problems that have worsened
over time. It's rather disheartening, since she was a vibrant, funny and fairly healthy woman for most of her life.

29. It's hard to watch
loved ones' health decline like that. Is she mentally "still there"?

31. I'm so sorry...
My father-in-law suffers from it too. I'm very concerned, expecially since this woman he has been seeing moved in with him...

33. yeah, it's tough - seems so unfair for formerly vibrant
folks to lose a good measure of their humanity. It sucks. Research is learning more all the time, and I hope they find some way of heading it off or decreasing it's effects in the future.

12. Got a shovel?
Your answer is really very simple...go shovel your way out...or...go find a couple of broke kids who want some spending money.

13. Oh no! You're screwn!
Got any raisins? You could try making some raisin jack. 'Course it takes a week or so to ferment, but you never know how long the snow will last so I suggest you get busy (the duece and a half might be a problem though...). :)
