Hi Ruth,

 RH> church's
->  RH> Executive Pastor (mostly a desk job) ended up with it.

-> Good deal! I found a Pendleton wool jacket in the Sharing Shop a few
-> months ago. Too big for me and would have involved ripping it totally
-> apart to redo into my size. Sigh! But my parents live in a rural area so
-> most of what comes into the hospital thrift shop is from locals like
-> themselves, and not all are financially well grounded. Thus, a lot of
-> less than sterling quality stuff is donated.

 RH> That happens.  I'm told another hospital has one too, but I've never
 RH> been and would love to.  Just because you're broke doesn't mean you
 RH> have to dress that way if you can snag the rich guy's overstocks.

Yes, and it helps to know how to sew. Designer clothes that fit like
they were made for you. (G)

-> ->  RH> seriously cheap wine-cured salamis that were marked down from
 RH> $15

-> -> Sounds like you did quite well. Lowe's has an area for bargain meat,

->  RH> Or badly. :-)  Ask me if I needed any of it.

-> Most likely not. Still, fun to try a luxury item every so often without
-> paying luxury prices.

 RH> Exactly.  One of the salamis went to a Missions Team meeting today,
 RH> where it
 RH> was devoured. One guy did most of the damage - about 27 years old and
 RH> skinny.  I think he runs distance or something.

Could be. Is he single? That might explain some of it, if he has to fix
his own meals.

->  RH> ((slurp))  Giardia omelets anyone?  I love the clearance bin at the
->  RH> Big Y. The kosher for passover jelly beans, I keep my church office
 RH> in
->  RH> candy, were marked down from almost four dollars a bag to eight

-> We don't have a regular church office, which is probably good for
-> everybody's waist lines. (G)

 RH> Probably.  We do - they get some of the stuff I can't resist and
 RH> shouldn't eat.

Our pastors just get ideas and such like from me. Our women'sministry
group just put together goody bags for the girl's dorm student's; I gave
the preaching pastor a copy of the paper that went in explaining the
signifigance of each thing (eg--mini 3 Musketeers to remind us that we
have a friend that sticketh closer than a brother, a pen as a reminder
that if wer are His, our names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life,
etc).
