==================
Hi Ruth,

-> got so frustrated with it that I hauled out my portable. This was the
-> morning of the day the paper was due (evening class) and re did it
 RH> before
-> he got home from work.

 RH> That was when both wrists would take that sort of pounding, no doubt.
 RH> Manuals are not for the faint of finger.

For sure!  It was even before we had children so I wasn't distracted
there.  Also had no personal computers to distract me from doing the
paper.  I will type my class papers on the little EeePC; it'll be quite
different.  (Time out to finish making a pitcher of iced tea.)  AFAIK, I
won't have to follow any particular method of style; the seminary
prefers Turabian so Steve will be using that.


-> or clippings.  That's not counting the cook book collection either. (G)

 RH> I've been thinning out my book collection.  My cookbook rack is a
 RH> storage shelving unit that's about 18" deep.  Two of the four shelves
 RH> are
 RH> double-stacked with cookbooks.  The other two are full of mixed books

I've got about 5 shelves of 2 3 shelf units commandeered so far.
They're only about 24" per shelf, not too deep so I can only double
stack small paperbacks if I get to that point.

 RH> and other things.  I figure anything post-1945 that I haven't used in
 RH> five
 RH> years can probably go.

Anything interesting?  Ethnic? I'm thinning down my sewing/craft books
but I'm pretty much done with that job.  I'll go thru loose recipies,
then photos while we're here in NC and probably go thru the cookbooks
after I finish those jobs.   All that and work on a diploma and try to
sew down my stash.

 -> I don't think we've any punch cards but it wouldn't surprise me
if we -> did.  I was part of a group project my senior year of college
that used -> them to collate a survey.

 RH> They make great bookmarks, shopping lists, etc.

If you have enough of them sittling around.  As I've been cleaning up,
I've found lots of little note pads, sticky back and otherwise.

-> Easy enough if you go thru that much paper.  Steve just got a 3 ream

 RH> ...which means you'll have a few handy RSN.

Only one lid for the box but I've still got a good pie carrier.


-> box; it may last the first year.  As part of my first class, we had
to do -> a name tag (take home project).  Steve designed one on the
computer, -> with me offering input as to what I wanted and the colors.
We used -> several sheets of paper doing test print outs but got a final
result -> that looks good.

-> RH> What, you didn't design one for a  programmable sewing machine to
RH> embroider?

That was his first thought but by the time we put the work into this, we
decided not to take it the step further for now.  It's saved so we can
pull it up later to re do if we want to embroider a name tag.

Catch you later,
