-> My parents forced me to use my right hand for some years.  Then they

Duh!

-> EeePC but this class gives more hand outs that are fill in the blank and
-> add extra for notes.  I may consider the computer for other classes;
-> Steve uses his.  He was able to find a program that converts his
-> keyboard into ancient Hebrew. (G)  I'll just plan on not doing much
-> slice & dice a couple of hours before class.
-> 
The Hebrew fonts are on most machines; you just have to find the layout.  I
have a Hebrew font on mine, but can't say I use it for much.  
 
->  RH> It was back into the 80s today.  I actually had the A/C on in the
car.
-> 
-> Yes, we're into the upper 80s and higher humidity again.  That's why
-> supper will be partly grilled, partly nuked.

Nuker, grill, crockpot... you name it. Sounds about right.
 
->  RH> Most likely.  Most of them are things I can't find in a
conventional
->  RH> supermarket; Whole Foods is the only one that carries most of them

-> 
-> We hit up the one in Raleigh big time yesterday.  Got a lot of stuff for
-> the next couple of months; we're going to go the el cheapo eats route.
-> I got a fair amount of various beans and soup/stew making stuff.  The
-> seminary is sponsoring a trip at the end of the year that we want to go
-> on; even with a cost break for students, it's still a signifigant chunk
-> of change.

Beans and rice, and the next day rice and beans?  
 
->  RH> The long, slow painful ones are always nasty.  I want to be hit by
a
->  RH> meteor or something.
-> 
-> Sounds good to me.  In my sleep is another painless option.
-> 
But not nearly as interesting,and it won't make any part of the papers but
the obituary.
 
-> Even added some 7 grain cereal. The bread actually tasted pretty good,
-> even tho it looked bad.  The second time, I put it in the oven for 2nd
-> rising (had enough whole wheat flour) and turned on the oven when it was
-> ready to bake.  It got a bit darker on the crust than I wanted but
-> otherwise looked good and tastes good.

The cereal would work nicely.  A dark crust can taste good, so I don't
worry about it much.
 
-> -> South of where I grew up.
->  RH> ->
->  RH> Apple country then.
-> 
-> I tend to think of Schoharie County more for apples tho there was a
-> cider mill nea where I grew up (close enough for school field trips).

Walden used to be wall to wall (ahem) apple farms.
 
->  RH> made to look older than it was.  Both came from a yard sale or a
->  RH> thrift store.  So did the white fabric, which started life as a 60s
->  RH> cotton sheet.  The fact that it wasn't pure white any more and
shaded
->  RH> a bit just makes it look better.
-> 
-> Sounds interesting; I'm still working on getting extra clutter out of my
-> sewing room.  Just about there, then I can pull out some projects put on
-> hold before we left Savannah.

If I tried to declutter mine, I'd still be decluttering come Christmas. 
Can't have that!
