Hello Listmates,

  Wanted to thank all who responded to my comments about trying to deal with the potlucks during the holidays.

  I received a few comments, all helpful, particuarly a woman who  suggested this was an ongoing struggle, something to be dealt with as  an everyday issue, not necessary 'gotten used to'.  As I mourned  the loss of the ability to taste the wonderfully smelling Thai food  tonight, I thought of her comment, - very  helpful to me.

  A couple suggested eating beforehand, or bringing my own food, and  being grateful for the foods I can eat.  I thank everyone for your  understanding and help.

  Karen V.
