================
->  RH> I don't think we got any last night either. Oh well.  It was dry
->  RH> enough that we didn't get many mosquitos this year.
-> 
-> OTOH, Steve got chomped on almost every time he went outside, especially
-> in the back yard.  Even a quick trip to take out the trash let the
-> mosquitoes know it was meal time.  Me, they pretty much ignored.

We usually get slightly sublethal swarms, but not this year.   The
generally ignore me. 

-> -> glass jar on the kitchen (linoleum) floor this afternoon; it
shattered.
-> -> Quite a bit to clean up but we think we got it all, by various
methods.
-> 
->  RH> Fingers (not recommended), broom, sticky tape?
-> 
-> Mostly broom & whisk broom, a bit of fingers and damp paper towel. Also
-> the vaccuum cleaner.
-> 
For those itty bitty bits nothing else seems to snag.
 
-> -> Robert likes trains but Rachel said he's not quite as fascinated
about
-> -> them as he was a few months ago.  Could be that school is taking up a
-> -> lot of his time; it is for his grandparents. (G)
-> 
->  RH> Figures.  But then he doesn't have a genetic predisposition to like
->  RH> stuff on wheels that runs on coal.
-> 
-> No, he's a few generations removed from that.
-> 
It doesn't matter; the genes persist.  
 
->  RH> That would be Not Good.  It sounds like she used a single thread
->  RH> instead of double.  Anything like that I generally go double
thread.
-> 
-> I do too but my mom never has been known for her sewing abilties.  She'd
-> rather use a safety pin or 2 than do a proper hem job. That's how I

There have been days....

-> found out the lining in one of her skirts was in tatters--she had pinned
-> up the hem of the lining so it didn't show below bottom of the skirt.
-> Trouble was, she pinned it so that the skirt was hiked up in an odd
-> position.  I took it back to NC, took out the old lining and put in a
-> new one, plus new elastic in the waist.  The skirt will outleast her
-> now.

I'd have used a needle and thread, but I'm weird.  
 
->  RH> I've done it, but it's not my thing either.  Crewel work and
creating
->  RH> my own embroidery patterns was more fun.
-> 
-> I'd have rather done counted cross stitch.  Mom did teach me the basics
-> of cooking but it wasn't anything ceative. That had to wait until I got
-> out of the house.
-> 
People in that generation didn't get the chance to be too creative.  
 
->  RH> I ended up with some stilton and a thing called Beemster at a
->  RH> supermarket that's being taken over by another chain.  Both are
->  RH> absolutely EVIL.
-> 
-> We were down there (WFM) this past Saturday and I got some Hirtenkase.
-> The sample was good so I went for more. (G)

I can believe it.  I had to look the stuff up, but it sounds good to me
too! 
 
-> -> You're working--that's more than a lot of people can say.
-> 
->  RH> It's just a good thing I'm not paying a mortgage.
-> 
-> Probably paid off a long time ago.

Never existed - Dad paid cash.  
 
-> ->  RH> These days I fade out at about 10AM....(grouse)
-> 
-> -> And the day starts at what time?
-> 
->  RH> 08:30. (sour face)  I didn't take a muscle relaxant last night, so
I
->  RH> was actually better off this morning than I have been in a while.
-> 
-> Easier to get the bones stirring to get to the kitchen for that first
-> cup of coffee?
-> 
Bingo.  Not as tired during the day either.
