Peepers!

->  RH> Or the horde of jewelry I found today....  I paid way too much in

-> Hit the jackpot?
-> 
Pretty much.  I paid maybe 1/4 of the retail value, maybe less. My sister
would have cheerfully glommed some of it.  I bribed her with a big 60s
goldtone fern leaf wreath pin instead.:-)  
 

->  RH> Ewww - I think I'd have opted for McDonald's, which is scary.

-> None on Fort Stewart.  We didn't want to go back to the food court area
-> of the main PX; an "up and coming rap 'star'" was there from 10am to 2
-> pm.  We had a sampling of his "music" while waiting in line for the flu
-> shot and decided to high tail it out of there afterward.

The rap gave you ear poisoning?  It's not my thing either, for the most
part.  

-> major commissary stock up trip.  I'm going to "wimp out" and go for the
-> electric cart; I know already my foot won't be able to handle 2-3 hours

Nope - but the niece got hand-made Raggedy Ann & Andy of a more modern
vintage.  
 
-> Well, he only has to wear them until April of 09.  Plus, the wear out
-> date of the older ones hasnt't been set yet so he can wear them for a

Good idea.  I think the Army should buy irons if they require their
soldiers to press stuff!
 
-> The lining of that would make a nice blouse too.  Every so often I get a
-> letter and fabric samples from a mail order place, imploring me to join
-> and get my fabrics from them.  I toss the letter but save the swatches;
-> I'm going to make a jacket and skirt and use some of the swatches for
-> decoration.  Others will be used in various ways.

One of my favorite skirts is made from sample patches of drapery fabric. 
Someone was tossing the book of nice perfect squares of all polished solid
