Howdy Doo Ruth!

-> ->  HN> You could use an old towel for that (grin)
-> 
-> -> True, but we don't have too many "old" towels. Getting to the linen
-> -> "cabinet" to get them out can be a challenge too. Much easier to grab
-> -> yesterday's paper.
-> 
->  HN> We have lots of old towels (grin) I never
->  HN> throw them away as long as they can be used
->  HN> for something! Even drying off the dog when
->  HN> he comes in from the rain!
-> 
-> We donated a bunch to the Savannah animal shelter for that purpose. Got
-> some that I use mainly to wrap my hair in after washing but they get
-> used for a few other purposes from time to time. Others are relatively
-> (within the last 10 years or so) new.
-> 
We usually move a few towels
to the "rag bin" each year, and 
replace them with some new ones.
Most are of indeterminate age and 
faded a bit but really comfy to use!
-> 
-> -> Good reporters make a good paper. Owner can try to mess things up big
-> -> time but if the staff knows waht to do, they will do it despite the
-> -> owner. Ask my dad about that.
-> 
->  HN> Gannet puts a lot of the articles
->  HN> in from their national feed..local
->  HN> stuff is still written by staff..but
->  HN> seldom is it proof read very well. Which
->  HN> is why the subscriptions are dwindling and
->  HN> the classified ads are drying up and
->  HN> advertisers are refusing to pay the
->  HN> high fees they used to.
-> 
-> And that's a poor way to run a newspaper. I cringe whenever I see poor
-> proofreading, especially in a larger city's paper.
->
Yep, but it keeps costs down..poor 
proofreading and layout was the 
primary reason I stopped taking 
the paper...Once too often they
had a story I wanted to read with
"continued on page B8" and when
I went to page B8...there was 
no story! 
-> 
-> -> boat so it was easier to buy it off the newsstand than to subscribe. 
My
-> -> favorite pound cake recipe came from a mid 70s issue--called for sour
-> -> cream but I always subbed plain yogurt with no problems.
-> 
->  HN> I often sub those two.
-> 
-> Most of the time nobody's the wiser anyway. Some things I will buy sour
-> cream for, especially for baked goods. Table use tho is the Greek style
-> more and more the last few years.
->
Often in recipes, I will sub one
for the other or even "extend"
them with blended (in the blender)
cottage cheese. Works great! 
 
-> ->  HN> It's nice to have pull in
-> ->  HN> high places!
-> 
-> -> Don't know how he got it but he sure had it!
-> 
->  HN> And now he has several Gazillion bucks
->  HN> and is part owner of the Baltimore orioles!
-> 
-> Probably a mansion of a house and several fancy cars as well.
-> 
Prob'ly...of course if I'd written that
stuff I'd have been in Leavenworth!!
chat with you soon!
