Hi susie. What a beutifull reply. Thanks. Dorothy will apreciate it also. Your husband and I may never go out fine dining anymore but guess what? I still go out and sit at the table and suck down some broth or something, even the occaisional oyster if they look yummy. It's the company and the friendship I go for and of course a quiet romantic moment with Dorothy. I may have had cancer and I may not be able to chew and swallow whole foods but like you and your husband I AM A SURVIVOR. Take care, Bless you both and good luck. DanT
