I don't like coconut, but when we were out in the country and couldn't trust the water, we would drink the "dlo kok."<BR/><BR/>Some of the people I worked with told me that during WWII in the south Pacific, the coconut water was used in iv's because of the nutritional content.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269872465115056916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958679963868626698.post-84109132707421900172008-02-09T11:49:00.000-05:002008-02-09T11:49:00.000-05:00Michele sent me to see what's been going on in Jud...Michele sent me to see what's been going on in Judy's life.....<BR/><BR/>I think I'll have to read that book!

I just know they are as smooth as silk.<BR/><BR/>Quite a change from what I have. You see, I have to use a lot of skin lotion and after I pour that stuff all over my body and get in bed, I keep slipping out and find myself on the floor a lot.<BR/><BR/>So, I had to buy cordoroy sheets and pillow cases so I could gain a little traction and stay in the bed all night. They keep me in bed but they are very noisy when I turn over and wake me up constantly. <BR/><BR/>Yes, your 460 sheets sound like Heaven to me. <BR/><BR/>How's next Tuesday night?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958679963868626698.post-69278945766101419102008-02-08T20:07:00.000-05:002008-02-08T20:07:00.000-05:00MMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!
