 CS> Not much in the way of used bookstores here oddly.

You would think there would be more. We have one in the Wake Forest area
(technically North Raleigh) plus there are some in Raleigh itself.
Surprisingly, we've not been in any of them. Probably just as well,
considering our lack of room, the weight of books (thinking ahead to our
next move), and our budget.  I'd probably head over to the cook book and
sewing/crafting section first.

 CS> English classes stood me in good stead but little else really.

I did OK in English ones but not as well as I would have liked. Couldn't
major in art at the time I was in school, they have an art major now
tho. A friend of ours needed just one elective class to graduate so
found one on theatrical costume design. She was way out of her element
with it but overall enjoyed it and has now put some of it to use sewing
for her little girl and new baby to be. Wish I'd been able to get a
class like that.

 CS> Yup.  If you can afford a limited time of more testing supplies, may

I had Korean food for supper tonight and my 9:00 reading was somewhat
higher than the last few nights. Had a reading of 80 this morning so it
will be interesting to see what it will be tomorrow.

Even more fun. (G)

 CS> I have to put off Wed.  Too much home life going on for this week.

I understand that one very well. (G)

I've got to find our quick kim chee recipe we got from one of the
produce vendors at our market in April. It's not bad for a quick recipe.

Sounds good to me.
