We are filtering out tons of stuff here now.  Old magazines and such that we'll
never want again.  Old mail order catalogs.  Even old VCR tapes that we'll
never want again (Charlotte's kid cartoons and sesame streets etc).  Many
really old software manuals that I should have dumped before we moved here. 
Old clothes I'll never fit into again which Charlotte doesnt like either.Old
coats that Charlotte outgrew.  What others want, they are picking up.  There's
even a new family with toddlers who took all the old TV tapes for their kids
(yes, they have a VCR).

 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'

I havent seen anyone roll their hair in years <g>.  Makeup is more 'natrual
looking' now except the lipsticks and temp tatoos (little spangly stars and
things).  Oh and the wild nailpolishes and designs.


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

RH> It worked!  Kept us from being stung.  That, and a light coat on a

I never did use that stuff much.  Rare times with a special hairstyle back when
I was in High School but not often even then.  I do use gels sometimes though.

 CS> kitchen, she had a hotpoint fridge and a coldspot stove.

RH> Cute!

 CS> So I thought!
RH> Could it be done now? I don't think I've seen either name brand in

My dishwasher here is a hotpoint.  No coldspot stuff though <g>.

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

Dunno!  But I'm not the only one here that makes stocks and {blush} crockpots
seem to have gotten pretty common somehow....  Funny how that happened!  Elise
has one too now.  She got a big unit like mine for her anniversary just a few
days ago.  Jodie aso got one about a month ago though it's not as fancy as
mine.  It will do fine for stocks and things.  Jodie got the tall model as she
says she doesnt want to lose counter space (has a house in Corpus Cristi Texas
with limited counterspace).

My back is feeling *much* better today.  Maybe taking all those pills was a
good thing to heal it up faster?
