Hi Hap,

->  hn> With us being on a low carb lifestyle we don't do either way, but
->  hn> I expect it would smell the same anyhow!

-> Yes, probably even more since it's a forbidden item right now. (G)

 hn> Probably not any more so, I've always loved that smell!

I think you would be hard pressed to find anybody who didn't like the
smell of fresh baking bread.  World wide, across al the myriad cultures,
the smell of your native bread (tortilla, chapati, pita, etc) would be
hard to beat.

->  hn> Just like the old hand cranked icecream maker!

-> Yes but there was a better reward with the ice cream maker; it was also
-> more immediate.

 hn> Can't argue that point, we used to love
 hn> home made icecream when I was a kid!
 hn> My grandparents had a huge ice cream
 hn> maker, it must have made two or three
 hn> gallons at a time, and it could really wear
 hn> you out to turn it!

So hopefully there was enough kid power around that you could take
turns. We've always had the electric mixers; the one my parents had when
I was a kid looked like the old fashioned type until you realised there
was no crank, just a motor.  I've got a unit now that fits on my Kitchen
Center.

-> OTOH, it doesn't bother me; it was just a really bad stink but we passed
-> by it within a few minutes. And, I didn't see that episode of "Dirty

 hn> It was pretty gross...but that sort of stuff doesn't really bother
 hn> me that much. When I was in navy boot camp, they'd march us
 hn> right by the sewage treatment plant on our way to breakfast each
 hn> day..a very bad smelling sewage treatment plant too...lots of guys
 hn> lost a lot of weight that first two weeks of boot camp...and they
 hn> didn't really have good appetites ...me I gained 15 pounds in boot
 hn> camp!

I suspect it would be off putting, until you got adjusted to the aroma.
Steve didn't gain weight but he went in, in better shape than a lot of
the kids 10 years younger.  He did say that he had to inhale a lot of
meals. (G)

->  hn> (which I think she secretly enjoys the most). So she has a lot
->  hn> of material for each grade level! Books, posters, activities etc.

-> I can see where she would.  Will she gift some of it to other teachers
-> when she retires or keep it if she needs to come in and sub?

 hn> Once she retires she won't be allowed to sub, one of our state laws
 hn> about "state retirees" . Usually when a teacher retires she(or he)

Interesting; most teachers aren't considered state employees.


 hn> lays out most of their "stuff" and has a garage sale for everyone
 hn> who's
 hn> interested and then gives away the remainder.

Gee, why does that sound like what we (and others) do whenever we make a
move with the military?
