I agree, n! Or...in inclement or some sort ofcompromised weather! It took me 3.5 hours toget home from the ER the other day--in the snow.Normally it takes 35-40 min! I was severelydehydrated and they gave me an IV of fluids.I had some sort of gastritis that lasted 6 days.love to all, and hoping all stay well during theholidays and all days!

Doesn't it though...'s mother is having a traditional "dopp i grytan" (ie "dipping in the kettle/casserole" - a lunch where you dip bread in the broth from boiling the traditional Christmas ham, served at Christmas dinner, and eat with sausages and mustard. Originally a way for the exhausted mother of the house to make a lunch out of what was in the kitchen anyway the hours before the huge Christmas dinner, but like most traditions do it has sort of taken on a life of its own...) midday, Christmas Eve. Her younger sister isn't coming since their younger brother isn't hosting the family Christmas this year (his wife is dying from cancer), and that would mean she'd have to drive back and forth for just the lunch. It's a couple of hours in each direction, and on Christmas Eve which is the day when Swedes celebrate Christmas, so it's definitely an understandable decision so far. BUT, it now turns out she has told people, for instance their father, 's grandfather, that the "dopp i grytan" is canceled this year... And hence the quarrel begins... The thing is, though, I don't think she has done it with ill intent. I think she is just genuinely self-absorbed enough to equate that she isn't coming with that the event is cancelled...Well, well. love/Reb>> Yeah, it also seems every really nasty family argument starts at a holiday> dinner...> > Hugs> > Akiba> > > > -- Re: Question? those week-end and holiday medical crises> > > > Very true, it does seem that way.> > Jolie>
