-> -> friends, who found it quite a let-down during his attendance at an

-> 
->  RH> Definitely the straight skinny. ...(rimshot)
-> 
-> I've got a few pounds to take off but felt pure skinny next to some of
-> the Hawaiians I knew.  Then, too, my older brother visited us here in GA
-> earlier this week (with my parents) and his gut weighed about as much as
-> I do. I'm still dragging around a few extra pounds of fiberglass &
-> padding on the left leg while waiting to get in to see an orthopedic
-> doctor.
-> 
I've been known to say that the easiest way for me to drop 10 pounds is to
put my purse down and take off my shoes.  Some days all I have to do is put
the purse down....  I've dropped about 30 pounds in the past year, but I'm
nowhere near skinny and never will be.  
 
->  RH> The Snow Mountain Tramway?  Or something close?  I know I have the
->  RH> first two words right.  If you liked that one, have you ever been
on
-> 
-> Snow Mountain Train Station is closer to the actual meaning but they
-> probably meant it as Snow Mountain Railroad--close, but not the literal

Sounds like.  I just found a source of newish German recipes again called
www.germanfoods.org - it's a marketing board, but they send out a
newsletter and idea sheets.  

->  RH> the Mount Washington Cog Railway?  It's known as the place with the
->  RH> worst weather in the US, but the train ride is fun.
-> 
-> That's one I've never done, don't know if my parents did either.  They

I found a T-shirt from there in a thrift store recently, brand new, and
grabbed it for a friend who just spent two years in Minnesota.  

-> Amtracked it back to NY.  As slow as he is getting around, Dad was still

Well, duh.  He's a rail nut; it's what rail nuts do - and they quit when
they have two feet in the grave and the dirt's being shoveled on top.  When
Gabriel blows his horn to call the dead out of their graves, it's going to
sound like the whistle on a steam engine.(G)  

 
-> We will be moving into brand new housing on post, only lived in by one
-> other family for less than 6 months.  Found out the kitchen has a smooth
-> top range so I'll have to find a flat bottomed wok.  Square footage of

Or just dig out the ring for the round-bottomed one.  Or wouldn't that
work?

-> the place is almost double what we had in HI--what is listed on the
-> floor plan as a storage room upstairs is big enough for a 4th bedroom
-> but for the fact there's no closet.  We get both a family room and a
-> living room so I will get to buy a new living room set instead of just a
-> sofa. (G) There's also a separate dining room vs having a large
-> living/dining room as we've had in all other places.

That sounds like about 1800 square feet - the size of a standard late 50s
house.  The Army is finally catching up to the 20th century.
