Ärende: cutting up
==================
Hi Ruth,

->  RH> Good idea.  Now to add in the apricots and dark chocolate for
->  RH> Steve.(LOL)

-> I need them as well, just got the results of blood work I had done last
-> month. The potassium is still low, been running slightly low for some
-> years now, even with a suppliment, bananas, greens, etc.

 RH> Drug side effects?

Could be, talking with the PA, figured some of my bp issues could be
related to the heart problem I'm on meds for.


->  RH> OK, as long as they're not chainsaws. I can handle a miter box just
->  RH> fine.

-> Don't want you handling chainsaws. (G)

 RH> Me neither!(LOL)

I'll use a regular saw tho.

-> The right handed cutter is available for Steve's use too. He usually
-> doesn't cut fabric but uses it sometimes for paper, filters, etc (after
-> changing the blade to one specifically kept for that purpose). Also,
-> other quilters have borrowed the right handed cutter from time to time.

 RH> A late friend's husband did all her cutting for her. He was a retired
 RH> engineer and very into precision and detail.

Sounds like what Steve would do. Can't have both of us cut for the same
quilt tho as we'd differ just enough in our measurements to throw it
off. Works out OK in cooking tho if we both toss into the same pot, a
bit more critical in baking tho.

-> -> Keep looking, one may show up yet. Even better, does he clean up
 RH> after he cooks?

->  RH> Can't have everything.  I don't mind doing one or the other, but am
->  RH> not fond of doing both.

-> I know, spend a good bit of time making the meal, then a short time to
-> eat it. Afterwards, a long time to clean up. Usually for me tho, once
-> the dishwasher is loaded, there aren't too many hand wash dishes to do.
-> Steve takes care of the big/heavy ones and sometimes just goes ahead &
-> washes up the rest of them while he's got the sink full of water.

 RH> Or usually does.  I don't think lifting is on his to-do list at the
 RH> moment. Eating of course, well, some things you just have to do.

He can lift up to 10 pounds (I think he's gone over a time or 2.) so I
do the heavier lifting right now. He's also done some ingenious getting
stuff from low places without bending, lifting or twisting. Sees the
doctor on Tuesday, may get some of the restrictions loosened a bit.

Catch you later,
