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

->  RH> I've almost stopped reading fiction completely.

-> I have too, not because I don't want to but because there's so much
-> other reading to get done.

 RH> Same here; it's just different stuff.

No school books for you?  I usually manage to get the morning paper read
before it turns into yesterday's news.  Sometimes it's pretty close to
midnight before I get it read but then I can go to bed with a smile; the
comics are usually the last thing read.

-> You're the one with the cats; you tell me.

 RH> Locking them out of the room doesn't help; they just claw the door.

And it won't help if you want to use them to tell you it's break time.
Only if it's time for them to eat will they break down the door.

-> More interesting to hear it; Steve downloaded & put on an MP3 file a
-> rabbi reading Genesis. Since he's only played the first chapter (over &
-> over), I'm picking out words.

 RH> That happens to me too; it makes me wonder who'll learn it first.  I
 RH> pick up vocabulary too.

He's actually beginning to have the first glimmers of true
understanding.


->  RH> I'm more the herbal type, except for the green stuff.  Ginger tea
 RH> is
->  RH> my favorite, but I'll try anything once except some of those rose
->  RH> hip-based ones.

-> Steve likes the herbal/green ones for every day drinking instead of
-> coffee.  He drinks iced black the rest of the day.  I would like Good

 RH> Now that I couldn't do.  I need the real coffee first thing.

I never could stomach coffee; Steve switched in HI when morning coffee
started giving him a sour stomach.

-> Earth every morning but save it for mostly week ends, using the Tetley
-> more mornings. I'll have iced tea sometimes at home more often when out.
-> The herbal teas are good when I want something hot & non caffienated.

 RH> You get my share of the black stuff - too much stewed tea in
 RH> childhood; I haven't been able to drink it since unless I was too sick
 RH> to care.

My parents had occaaisional iced tea (never let us kids have any) in the
summer.  They have black coffee every morning; it was a neighbor on a
winter day that got me into hot tea. I'd been playing out in the snow
with her daughter; when we went in, she had some hot tea for us. The
first time I had iced tea years later, it was unsweet.  It took me
moving to NC to appreciate (sweet) iced tea; I still don't like it, hot
or cold, unsweet.

Catch you later,
