============================
-> -> I didn't, but the only language I took in college was German.
-> 
->  RH> I took German and French.
-> 
-> I stayed with the one; that way I was able to get more art classes.  A

-> 
I'd always promised myself I'd take a crack at German, so when I got to
college and it was available I grabbed some.

wide.

I'd

-> Lots of uses for it but I won't elaborate here.

Ohio Star corners and all that?

he

-> 
->  RH> Hmm, maybe you shouldn't have stopped.  People who fall asleep in
the

-> 
-> No, I had a certain amount of money I wanted to spend. Tax brought it to

Hmmm, there is that problem.
 
->  RH> That's true of a lot of men. My dad acted like he was color blind
when

-> 
-> Steve will usually vet his clothes choices thru me.  He likes to use
-> basic color terms (eg, blue, instead of periwinkle, light blue instead
-> of robin's egg blue, etc) but I guess that's more typical of guys
-> anyway.  His wardrobe has a lot of basic colors, with a few splashes of
-> brights, so he doesn't have too much of a problem putting an outfit
-> together.

Good idea - easier to avoid the scarecrow look.
 
->  RH> Sounds like you need a new set just for him.  I use a right-handed

how.

-> I've got a right handed rotary cutter; he's used it a few times. I'd

Implying that one or the other of you can't cut a straight line, or at
least not the right one.

-> only right handed scissors as I can't cut left handed either.  There
-> were no left handed scissors in the early grades when I went to school;
-> we all had to cut right handed.

I had one at home for a little while, but never at school.  That might be
it.
 
->  RH> That part is true, but if it's a Wal-mart it's probably worth going
to
->  RH> more than one.  A lot of what they sell is such junk that even if
they
->  RH> treated their employees better I still wouldn't buy it.
-> 
-> No comment; Rachel used to work for one that treated her quite well.

Was that before or after Sam Walton died?
 
->  RH> It's a bitty state, and each town makes its own rules.  Mine has
->  RH> ordinances that ban anything the size of a regular Wal-mart, never

-> 
-> Sigh!  How close to the border are you?  Talking to Rachel today, we
-> bought the same style & color of slacks from Target.

Not very.  It costs more in gas to get to Massachusetts or NY than it does
to pay the taxes.
 
->  RH> I'm not sure of the popcorn part. :-)
-> 
-> It was a cool night, late enough we wanted a munchie but nothing too
-> heavy.  Made sense and hit the spot.

I ate some tonight at my church's coffeehouse, but not a lot.
 
-> Today--Farmer's Market, stopped to put more into the storage unit on the
-> way home.  Home--lunch, stuff for a loaf of bread into machine (ended
-> up taking it out and hand finishing it), cut up veggies/meat for
-> goulash, then put it together all in about 4 hours.  Finally finished
-> the morning paper about 5 pm.  About half an hour later, did supper
-> prep, ate & cleaned up--another almost 2 hours.  I'm trying to finish
-> Fido in the next half hour so I can iron a shirt for Steve and otherwise
-> get ready for Sunday.

Like  I said.  
 
-> ->  RH> Then the squirrels and birds get rid of the evidence.
-> 
-> -> You would hope so anyway.
-> 
->  RH> If they don't, there's always the compost pile. They disposed of a
->  RH> pumpkin tofu cheesecake, so critters will eat darned near anything.
-> 
-> And you thought teen age boys were omnivourous. (G)

Teenaged boys might have eaten the cheesecake, but I doubt it.
 
-> -> A lot of them are in the area where I grew up.  Saw recently that NYS
-> -> DOT has put up signs marking the town sites along the Pepactin
Reservoir
-> -> roads.  Nice touch.
-> 
->  RH> It just underlines how many there were.
-> 
-> True, but lets you not forget that they exsisted.

Even though most people have.
 
-> ->  RH> chimes in that I'd forgotten I even had, and well you get the
idea.
-> 
-> -> I know, all too well.
-> 
->  RH> And then it brings along its buddies, the Ribbon Sisters.
-> 
-> They don't follow me home.
-> 
With me they try, and some succeed.
