*** Quoting Ruth Haffly from a message to Carol Shenkenberger ***

 CS> I snagged a can of almost depleted scotscoate with a rusty lid for the
 CS> effort. The leads needed exterior treatment on the outside at the
 CS> porch and duct tape wasnt lasting all that well for them.  Ellis (not
 CS> a typo for Elise but a guy upstairs) sheepishly produced the end tail
 CS> of some tape stuff we use on the ship for antennas and radars.

RH> Sounds like fun.  I'm sure they were cadging munchies from various sto
RH> along the way as well.

Snicker, what else?  They got most of my gifted Jicama tonight as jicama crisps
(raw sliced, lightly salted then spice with a little of the japanese 5 chili
powder spice and dipped in vinigar).

 CS> The flock is running about 'preserving their antennas' with that stuff
 CS> now.  In case folks havent caught on (took me a little too) they have
 CS> a short wave radio station going with the music off MP3's.  Charlotte
 CS> unaccountably, is off playing dolls this time with what i call the
 CS> 'giggle gaggle girls'.

RH> Well, she's probably having fun doing something non geekish for a
RH> change. (G)

That too! I worry a little but not much as she always seems to play more with
the boys.  The girls get jealous about it when the really cute ones are
talking techie with Charlotte and they cant follow.  They get along well
enough though as Charlotte has access to all my makeup and takes it over for
'lets play makeup, Mom says you have to do that lots before it gets natural'. 
Apparently most of the Mom's dont have a grunch of play stuff or don't want it
messed up so don't lend it out.  Me, I almost never waer it so it doesnt
bother me.  I have like 3 items out of 40 Charlotte knows arent for play. 
Rest, she's welcome to.  OHH and I got her a lipstick I keep borrowing when I
go out with Don so .. Fair play eh?

RH> BTW, I've mentioned that my younger brother bought our 18 cubic foot
RH> freezer when Steve went into the Army--saw him on the trip and he said
RH> it's still going.  We bought it in 1979 when Rachel was about 6 months
RH> old.

 CS> Those things never die <g>.

RH> It will, but he's sure gotten his money out of it.

Yes, sure has!  

Had a friend ages ago.  He had the old 1920's ice chest thing.  They'd stoped
using it when you couldnt get ice delivered anymore.  He started using it
again for beer parties with bagged ice and then noted the 'blue cubes' let him
make his own at home so kept using it that way for a beer cooler in his
garage.
