Hi Carol,

RH> spices I got at the Indian store (and the mint from the Italian store
RH> Rochester) in bottles.  Didn't have but one proper spice bottle so som

 CS> Ought to if they are airtight enough.

They should; the caps are all easy open (with a flick of the thumb) but
keep a good seal.  I think Steve was bemused by my creative recycling.

 CS> They get along well enough though as Charlotte has access to all my
 CS> makeup and takes it over for 'lets play makeup, Mom says you have to
 CS> lend it out.  Me, I almost never waer it so it doesnt bother me.  I

 CS> I wear it now and again, but not in hot weather like it is now.
 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'
 CS> sort of shade.

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

 CS> I go out with Don so .. Fair play eh?

RH> I guess so. (G) She probably thinks she has the better end of the deal
RH> on it. You bought it and she uses it most of the time so an every so
RH> often borrow shouldn't be that bad.

 CS> Yes, that one is a girlish pink but not overtly so.  Suitable for her
 CS> to wear to school if she wants to.  Kinda a natural blush with a
 CS> little glimmer-shine.

She's at the age where it's not needed that much. IIRC, my "rules" for
the girls were that they could wear lipstick (a light one) at 13 and
progress one item per year of age for school use, more for stage wear
and formal dances of course. They never really used much for school;
Deborah was into the wild nail polishes for a while.  In the early 90s
they did use a lot of hair spray to get their bangs "up"; I accused them
once of using enough to choke a horse which Rachel fussed at me because
her best friend was a horse lover.  They did find out that the Aqua Net
(they liked the extra hold that brand had) was useful otherwise.  We
were visiting some friends in Frankfurt over spring break and the girls
discovered a bee in the bathroom.  I took the can of hair spray and
shellacked that poor critter to death! (G)  Probably didn't use any more
than what they used on their hair either.

 CS> Had a friend ages ago.  He had the old 1920's ice chest thing.  They'd
 CS> the 'blue cubes' let him make his own at home so kept using it that
 CS> way for a beer cooler in his garage.

RH> For a while, we had an old fridge in one of the places we lived.  No
RH> idea how old but the door had no shelves, the freezer was about 18"
RH> with our $50. "wonder" fridge--wondered how old it was, what brand it

 CS> Might still be running!

Could be but it's been over 24 years since he went in and we've no idea
how old the fridge was when we bought it in 1977.

 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.

Cute!
