You know, I've been looking around for one of those serrated, wide,
cutter-crimper wheels for years and al I've found is the equivalent of
a sharp-blade pizza cutter. I just cut them out with a pizza cutter
after sealing them with my fingers and then used a fork to kind of
pretty it up. If I could find one of those tools, I might start
making it myself again. BTW, I remember reading that you were going
on a trip soon. All the best, stay safe and have a good time. How is
your dad, by the way? Hope he's doing good. My mom is 82, never been
sick a day in her life until a few years ago. Now all of a sudden
over the last 2 or 3 years she seems to have aged about a 100 years.
She has fibromyalgia, and we think she's showing signs of impending
Alzheimer's (you know, getting lost 3 blocks from her house on
numerous ocassions, things like that). She had a cat scan 2 weeks ago
and they say there's no real evidence of it. But she's fallen and
hurt herselff, I believe 5 times in the last 2 months or so. My dad
died about 20 years ago, and she really never recovered from it,
although she's been trying to keep up with everything he did. They
always won an award from their city that they only give out to about
20 homes a year for the most attractive, well-kept home, and she's
killing herself trying to keep it up. I seriously think she's not far
from a "care-center" of some kind, but you might as well put a bullet
in her head. It would just kill her. I told her she could come live
with us, as has my wife, but she'll have nothing to do with it. Pride
is not always a good thing. She'd be just fine here, and surrounded
by people who love her, but it ain't gonna happen - I promise you
taht.
