Hi Ruth,

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

 RH> Maybe someone will finally kill the thing soon and we'll be able to
 RH> quit saying it.(G)

It could cease with this generation; I don't know if the 4th generation
is interested in keeping the paper.  Trouble is, it's gone downhill so
bad, the subscriber base has seriously declined also.  Less money in the
paper, less quality paper. And don't even think of them spending the
family money to support it.

-> -> 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.

 RH> Very.  It was unrecognizable in some ways.  I wonder what they would
 RH> have made of female combat troops.

There's a large number of people who arent thrilled with that idea yet.
My dad was torn two ways with Deborah's enlistment and deployment; on
the one hand, didn't like it at all but on the other hand, busting
buttons about his granddaughter in the Army.

-> 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> I use a cookie sheet for that too.  Mine isn't the greatest, but it
 RH> beats takeout.

Steve rates mine above all take out; I must admit, I'm not too thrilled
with any of thechain pizza places.  Used to be a nice little place in
Geneseo, NY that did a fantastic one; wonder if they still exsist.  They
made probably the best pizza I've ever bought and eaten.

->  RH> Too true.  I'm wearing one at the moment - a big wide cuff bracelet

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

 RH> My watch is the only jewelry I wear reliably, but I love vintage
 RH> costume stuff.

I could go for it to some extent, but don't wear much of any overall.

-> 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.

 RH> Half shelves?  Time for an appliance cart, maybe?

Our microwave oven cart; it's actualy a tall thing (about 6') with racks
for hanging stemware frm the top.  Bottom has a shelf behind doors so it
is quite versatile. Shelf and bottom used to hold cookbooks--until my
collection exceeded available space. (G)

-> 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> Hmmm - does that mean you can't razz him about it any more?

I will give him a hard time when my team beats his usually. Most of the
time we've other things to talk about tho.

-> Mostly the marketing department I think.

 RH> Not to mention that the sports market is pretty much saturated
 RH> already.

In some parts of the country but not everywhere.  A good number of
states have no professional teams but have cities large enough to suppot
one.  With Hawaii, the big bug a boo was the $$$$ spent in travel for
the local team as well as those coming to play them.


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

 RH> THey're already a pillow.  The cables didn't end up matched.  It feels
 RH> pretty good as a back rest.

Good a use as any.

->  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.

 RH> My distance vision isn't that great, but as long as I don't mess with
 RH> a scope I can do OK.

Scopes are limited in their usefullness; sights are better.
