I'm still coughing. I don't know if that counts as still ill. But being out in the cold does make the coughing worse.
That counts as being ill. No candles! No vigil!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Definitely stay out of the cold, Hil.

Coughing is definitely ill. Do you want pneumonia? If the answer is no, don't go.

If this were B'racy, we would have opened a discussion thread on this by now.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
OK, OK, I won't go.

Snerk! Never change, my friends, never change...
My mom and sisters get my magazine subscriptions as part of bday/Xmas presents. Mom got me a two-fer deal a year ago, and added a script for Better Homes & Gardens, and I thought :Old lady mag, what a waste of paper, UGH."
Well. I am an old lady, apparently, because I LOVE BH&G now. I really, really like it; the format is so much more modern than what I remember, and they have a great website.
She got a two-fer for Woman's Day, too, for me, and that IS kind of a waste of paper. It isn't my cup of tea.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I think that sounds like a great gift. Cooking mags are the useful kind of thing that I wouldn't buy for myself. My parents did the same for me with a sub to Consumer Reports.

Sox, hope my dad's answer helped some. Feel free to ask him more, he likes these sort of thought exercises. And since he's retired....
I have a BH&G cookbook. Mainly use it as a reference for baking. I'm pretty incapable of not tweaking a recipe, and pretty much only use it as a jumping off point for temps, times and proportions. But then, I don't really bake or cook much.

I always covet my mom's Everyday Food -- it's got great ideas for fast/easy stuff.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
I've got a more recent (by recent I mean late '70s) Fannie Farmer that I got when I was married. My mom gave my ex the Joy of Cooking and I actually like that one better, but since it was a present to him I didn't take it when I left. I should pick one up, because I've always felt it did a better job at explaining the mechanics of how to do certain techniques and for beginning cooks or when it's a new skill it comes in very handy. One of the reasons I like CI, too, but all I've got from them are a couple of paperbacks for crockpots and comfort food.
