Hi Ruth,

->  RH> One guess - it's now a Knight-Ridder paper?

-> Last I knew, no but sinking fast on quality.

 RH> Figures.  It's too bad.

That's what we said in so many words 40 some years ago after the old
owner passed away.

-> Neither of the above are my favorite reading.  Came across our Anne of
-> Green Gables set while unpacking and have settled down to re-read them.
-> They are good books for girls--a lot better than some of the stuff on

 RH> They were never my favorites.  Too girly I guess.:)

You have to consider the time in which they were written; the last ones
were published just about the time of WWI.  Way different world than
post war.


-> I have to use an assortment in my cooking.  Found the Hunt's Organic
-> brand for the diced tomatoes at the Fort Stewart commissary; they seem
-> to be pretty decent but a few cents more per can than the non organic.
-> I can bring the price down by using a coupon good for any Hunt's
-> tomato products.

 RH> I buy some of the organics, when there are coupons for them.

That's because you're not buying with Steve along. (G) We found our
baking sheets so making pizza for supper tonight.  It'll be better than
any we've had in months.


->  RH> My idea of a teen/tween store is the Salvation Army.
 RH> ->
-> Can find some real steals in them for adults as well.

 RH> Too true.  I'm wearing one at the moment - a big wide cuff bracelet
 RH> made by a scandinavian (?) silversmith.  It cost less than the melt
 RH> value of the silver.

Sounds good.  I stick to just a watch and Medic Alert bracelet on the
wrist.

-> In this case, the private contractor should have spoken up prior to
-> construction.

 RH> Ahh - the Contractor Way - otherwise known as a bunch that can make
 RH> the Army look smart and organized.

It appears that way.  This place has some definate problems--nothing big
but if we were buying, would either have to be fixed or we wouldn't buy.
Of course some people would think it perfect.  I don't like the half
shelves in the lower kitchen cabinets for one.  Stowage will be creative
of larger stuff like the bread machine or rice cooker.

-> Like most of the sports fans in this state live in/around Atlanta.

 RH> Those tend to be Braves fans. (boo, hiss!)

Braves, Falcons, etc.  I think living out in first AZ, now LV, my son in
law isn't the avid Braves fan he used to be.


->  RH> I think there was one here too, but it went dead pretty quickly.

-> Good idea, lacked a lot in the maintainence end once teams were
-> developed.

 RH> The advertising/marketing budget fell down on the job.

Mostly the marketing department I think.


->  RH> make throw pillow #2 no doubt?  Match up the cabling, sew a ribbon

-> If no other ideas, that'll work.

 RH> I was toying with using them as the outside of a rice bag, but I don't
 RH> know how well cashmere would take to a microwave ... and don't want to
 RH> particularly find out!

I wouldn't want to try it. Sew them together and make a scarf?


-> OTOH, I have shot a pistol a few times.  About 20 years ago, we were up
-> he Steve and one of my brother's in law were plinking at them.  I asked
-> if I could try it--turned out I had a better eye/aim than Steve and
-> b-i-l.

 RH> Scary - as Steve is the one who occasionally has to carry a gun.  I

He's pretty good but in this case, I was outshooting him.

 RH> could probably do fairly well with a rifle, but I've never had a
 RH> chance to find out.

I could, very easily with that and a pistol.
