Hi Ruth,

My coupons are in a box--too many to carry in a wallet like thing.  As I
grab an item that I've got a coupon for, I'll get the coupon out of the
box and set it in the lid (box sits cross wise in the toddler seat
portion of my buggy).  Then, before I hit the check out line, I'll sort
them with the smaller amount off ones on the top, going up to the
largest amounts off.  Commissary cashiers seem to like that. (G)


 RH> camera. The bag itself is leather and weighs three or four pounds

My currrent one is a faux suede, doesn't weigh more than a couple of
pounds.  The wallet is nylon so it too doesn't weigh much.  All the
other stuff adds weight, especially the phone and keys.

Tell me about it!  In 2000, I was on prednisone most of the year; I
think I'm finally over most of the damage it caused.  Now the only one I
use is an inhaled one on my Advair unless I'm going thru a major flare
up that's produced bronchitis (or worse) and then it's only a 5-10 day
"burst" to kick out the nasties faster.


 RH> My dad probably won't recognize Jesus unless he's in a conductor suit!


I suspect you dad isn't the only one in that category. (G)

 RH> magnetic cooktop?  If so, dig out the cast iron!

I'm not sure what they're calling it.  At any rate, I've got cast iron
fry pans in 6,9,10,12,&14" sizes and a 5 qt dutch oven.  My other
cookware is mostly the cast aluminum Calphalon, another heavy weight.
The guest quarters here provided real copper bottom & stainless steel
Revere ware like my mom has but they didn't provide any copper cleaner.
I guess they don't expect guests to use it that much.

It'll be the biggest place we've ever lived in, probably including oour
childhood homes.


-> Anyway, we did some looking around yesterday and think we've decided on

-> kitchen or bathrooms before buying what I need to for them.

 RH> Goodie.  Now to pick out the recliners.... and to hit archiemcphee.com

We've got the recliners already.  They were our 25th anniversary gift to
each other. (G)

 RH> for the shower curtain?  Hula dancer car ornament shower curtains?


I'm thinking of making shower curtain/window curtain sets for the
bathrooms.  Not hula dancers but not sure yet what--I want to check out
a couple of places to see what they have in sets before deciding if I
will or not.

 RH> I'd get one with rubber duckies all over it if my bathroom wasn't pink
 RH> tile.


So do pink flamingos instead!  (G)
