[AT] I hear only crickets...

[charlie hill]

Yeah truth be known David, I usually don’t kill any snakes unless they are 
poisonous
and somewhere where I'm afraid they might end up biting me or they are 
climbing in
my blue bird boxes and killing the babies.  Of course if they decide to come 
in the
house all bets are off.

Thanks, mom is doing well.  She decided she doesn't need anyone with her at 
night
any more and stayed by herself last night and I've cut my daily stays with 
her down
from all day long every day to most days for a few hours and some days not 
at all.
She's still using a walker when she's tired but otherwise uses a cane or 
nothing at all.
She still doesn't have all of the feeling back in her right leg and her 
hearing is not
good so we don't know if she's going to be able to drive again or not.  Her 
new hearing
aids don't seem to be helping much even though her hearing chart after the 
stroke is
nearly identical to the one a month before the stroke.  I'm thinking it 
might be a cognition
problem as much as hearing loss.  Time will tell.  Still at 96 and able to 
live by herself, it
could be much worse!  Her blood pressure is under control and her general 
health is good,
great for her age.

Charlie,

It is good to hear of your mother's improvement. Mine went through a
rough patch with sort sort of virus (not the flu that was checked). I
also had the same virus - knocked my on my butt for a few days.

I'll even leave black snakes alone for their mice control properties.
