Hi Carol,

RH> keep a good seal.  I think Steve was bemused by my creative recycling.

 CS> Hey, works for me!  I am not amused at our USA habits anymore of
 CS> disposable things.  I dont want a huge junk room, but I make a real
 CS> effort to not waste things of use.

I'm recycling more here than any other post since more is allowed.
Trying to keep up with things so we're not swamped in spring of 09 when
Steve retires.  But there are some things that have to be held on to, no
matter what. (G)

 CS> Minimal look too like you except I kinda like brighter lip colors.
 CS> Not blazing red or anything, but a bit of reddish toned 'semi-natural'

RH> Those are more or less the shades I get.  Mine hasn't been used in
RH> months--probably our Christmas cantata, if that. (G)

 CS> Humm.  Went out with Don about 2 weeks ago and wore some then.  Might
 CS> go out tonight again (thinking about it).  If so, might use a little
 CS> eye liner and lipstick and face powder.

Easy to do, not a heavy "made up" look.

 CS> to wear to school if she wants to.  Kinda a natural blush with a
 CS> little glimmer-shine.

RH> She's at the age where it's not needed that much. IIRC, my "rules" for
RH> the girls were that they could wear lipstick (a light one) at 13 and
RH> progress one item per year of age for school use, more for stage wear
RH> and formal dances of course. They never really used much for school;

 CS> Same here.  The girls like to 'play' but I see none of the makeup
 CS> 'queens' I did when I was in school.  Apparently that is either 'out'
 CS> or just not a popular Sasebo trait.

I don't see it as much as when I was in school either.  Some girls were
really heavy with it--and ended it at the chin line.  I think it's the
times overall that have changed, with less emphasis on the makeup,
rolling the hair, etc.


RH> discovered a bee in the bathroom.  I took the can of hair spray and
RH> shellacked that poor critter to death! (G)  Probably didn't use any mo

 CS> Giggles! I love that idea!  Poor critter.  Nevr challange a woman with
 CS> hairspray!

It worked!  Kept us from being stung.  That, and a light coat on a
pencil or chalk drawing as a fixative are the best uses for hair spray.


 CS> I had a relative (not sure who she was this many years later) that my
 CS> Mom took me to once long ago.  I remember she was fun and in her
 CS> kitchen, she had a hotpoint fridge and a coldspot stove.

RH> Cute!

 CS> So I thought!

Could it be done now? I don't think I've seen either name brand in
appliances for years.


 CS> BTW, filtered the freezer and found a chicken neck and added that to
 CS> the stock pot.  It wasnt enough alone to make anything much of.
 CS> Ruffling through stuff, most of what is still here is my own.  We
 CS> label it so it's not hard to tell. Ed has 2 chicken carcasses donated
 CS> for stock.  Little itty bitty cornish hen types.  I tucked them in and
 CS> called his wife that we'll have a jar of stock for them sometime
 CS> tonight.  She's dropping off a cleaned ragu spagetti glass jar with
 CS> lid for me later as most of my jars seem to have gone away (or the
 CS> lids have).

So who will take over the stock making when you leave?
