-> 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.
-> 
Just as well then.  It sounds like it needs to either turn into one of
these weekly ad (plus a little news) papers or just quietly rust in peace.

->  RH> Very.  It was unrecognizable in some ways.  I wonder what they
would

-> 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.

What I can't figure out is why they'd think women couldn't do it.  Should
or shouldn't is another matter.  I think my Dad actually liked the idea;
he'd had a bunch of women in his life who would have made great top
sergeants. :-)
 
-> 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.

The good stuff is usually strictly local.  The local pizza joints are good
enough that the chain stores closed down due to a lack of profits.  
 
->  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.

It snags on the fabric, of course.
 
-> 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)

Mine is housed on a four-shelf pantry unit.  The cookbooks take up two out
of four, and part of the other two.  The main shelves are double-racked.  I
ran out of space in the kitchen about 200 cookbooks ago!

-> 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 can understand that.  Hawaii is a great place to visit ... as long as
someone else is paying for the jet fuel!
