I think our MD plans will involve a picnic. Not sure Cody is up for packing a picnic lunch however, so I'm thinking that planning, making, and packing the meal will still fall on me. Oh well.

Last year, we decided to have dinner here, with my mom and dad, and S. cooked. But I ended up cleaning the house beforehand, which is not my idea of a good time.

25 is some insurnance thing. unless he is deemed by the dr. to require more care. Out of insurance the 9-1 days would run me $200/day plus $50 every time he saw a dr.

Jesus, msbelle. I'm glad he's home, at least, and hope you have a doctor who is willing to authorize more care.

My mother is fasting on Mother's Day (for a colonoscopy the next day), so no fancy brunch for us. Not sure what to do...

msbelle - glad to hear that mac is home.

Tommy: I would call my dog off a skunk. . .that guy is a jerk.

GA: Not watching but perhaps they felt a crashing airplane was better than a helicopter ?

Consuela - does she have to fast all day? Or just 12 hours before?

Looks like all day, since the appointment's in the AM.

Isn't it usually clear liquids the day before, plus the gross stuff to drink? Not that clear liquids are exactly festive, I know.

Yes, exactly. Hard to be festive that way.

Vodka's festive.
