I must admit that the thought that one of Cheeto's operatives had tried to poison her occurred to me once or twice. I certainly wouldn't have put it past them.

Above all, I'm glad she's better. Can't wait!

Yes.

I was worried about her. But maybe now the natives can go back to beating our drums and not get so sidetracked and riled up.

and hope now that Lawrence isn't getting sick, as he said to us yesterday!

two RAW cloves of garlic a day, no colds, 'sick'. 25 years of eating raw garlic everyday, no colds. Co-op type garlic, high allicin count. Cooking destroys this important property..... I don't tweet or facebook. Too many ugly, ugly examples of american culture on those sites.

VERY glad!

Mainly because this was such a comparatively long absence that I started getting worried. Must have been a humdinger of a flu bug (or whatever was ailing her).

assignment" then she called into the show the other night and sounded, you know, actually sick.

So, continue to recover Rachel, we need your reporting more than ever!

Great news!

Glad she's feeling better.
