Hi Ruth,

No un, if it's either a nerve or NS.  I've had minor tingles when I hit
the elbow wrong--did it the other day with the left one and got a tingle
that I'd not had in years.  Maybe the nerve is getting  better?


 RH> thinking nerve.  Seems to be improving though.  As for Turabian, been

I'll just have to give him lots of tea & sympathy.  He's on his owm for
paper typing since I'll have my own to worry about.

 RH> between two shelves.  It keeps them out of harm's way.

OTOH, the greater share of mine are in paperback.  Moving around, having
to make a weight allowance, made me go that route.

IOW, sounds like good fodder for a library donations sale.  When my mom
worked at the town lbrary, she said that cook books were the hottest
items at book sales.  She retired from that job several years ago so I
can't get a sneak preview.


-> but I'm pretty much done with that job.  I'll go thru loose recipies,

Sounds like here. I boought the fabric to back a quilt for Sarah since
we moved up here. (G) I made an executive decision the other day--clear
my sewing room of all non sewing/crafting stuff and other things that
have found their way in but not sewing related.  I'm also going to store
my thimble & shadow box collections while here; we just don't have that
much wall space.  That, and the time I need to set it up/take it down
when we move is quite labor intensive.  I need the time for other
projects at the moment.  Fabric will stay in the room, to be sewn up as
time and energy permit.

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

 RH> I can't keep track of them around here.  They keep popping up.


I have note pads everywhere, from everywhere it seems.

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

 RH> That'll change.  A few classes with a few hundred page papers and....

Not any of mine, that's sure.

-> pull it up later to re do if we want to embroider a name tag.

 RH> Sounds like a plan.  Then again, anything that saves people from
 RH> reading my handwriting would sound like a plan.

Only requirement was that it had to be readable.  BTW, I saved the test
print outs, just in case I need a template for another project.
