I chatted with Mektwain a few minutes ago. I ordered some numbers of her choc-cheese cupcakes for the upcoming open house (hey, I think it is relevant). It was a quickie. And being an ever-slow reader, I realized (a few minutes after we terminated our lines) that I wanted to ask her how she gives medicine to her twains when she wrote this:

Now I know the trick to get tablets down to my gut through my throat (although I failed occasionally and still feel that it is a chore) - it is by tilting the head backwards (really tricky, huh?). I haven't found the trick to give medicines to Sofea (yet) and REALLY need one.
