-> 
-> Too bad we don't live closer; Steve would take a look at it and probably

-> it.

It seems to be fine now.  The unneeded monitor went back to the store
today; they came and got it.

-> -> I'm steering clear of it. One of us having to know it is confusing
-> -> enough, don't want to drive us both batty by my having to take it
too.
-> 
->  RH> It might not be as bad if you took it together.
-> 
-> No, we'd be biting each other's heads off. Not a good idea, trust me.
-> 
True - that would be a bloody mess and no one left alive to clean up....  
 
->  RH> We got a spatter of snow a few days ago.  There's still some around
on

-> 
-> We had some when we left NC yesterday morning. There was a strong hint
-> of more to come by the week end.  There's a dusting here (Catskills) but
-> not a whole lot. Got here & met up with my dad in the grocery store so
-> helped him.  Also talked him into a pumpkin roll for dessert Saturday
-> instead of pumpkin pie & will have to see what other tweaks we can make
-> on the meal. Steve and I will be doing 99.99% of the work on it.

I don't think I've ever had a pumpkin roll.  I'll be getting rum cake,
since that's what my sister is making.  Her house.  Her dessert.  
 
-> -> This one uses the profits for medical missions in Africa so we don't
-> -> mind supporting it. We've donated a fair amount of stuff too.
-> 
->  RH> Good idea.  Wish I had one like that.
-> 
-> If you didn't do the E-bay thing........................

I wouldn't be supporting the Salvation Army and a lot of local churches.
(LOL)
 
-> ->  RH> everything there is final sale, but at 99 cents each I'm willing
to
-> ->  RH> gamble.
-> 
-> -> Sounds good, even 99 cent stuff.

Some stuff didn't fit or just didn't work.  There's a bitty consignment
place in the middle of town that took some of the clothes and some shoes I
can't wear any more.  I may break even on the clothes.  Not so much on the
shoes.
 
->  RH> Yeppers.  I got some good stuff, some iffy stuff, and some that
went
->  RH> straight to the church donation bin.
-> 
-> Church donation bin isn't bad.  Iffy--too iffy probably for me to
-> consider buying. I only buy if I know it fits or I can try on.

I figure I did OK.  I needed a clip-on gooseneck lamp for the coffeehouse
and guess what they had.  Yep - and it sure beat paying retail.
 

-> -> Yes, but I didn't do my usual Sunday am routine. Had a fill in for my
-> -> position as SS Director that day.
-> 
->  RH> Yeah well.  You're allowed to be lazy under the circumstances.
-> 
-> I ended up taking 6 weeks off in Feb./March of the next year for other
-> health related (breathing) issues. Got to sit in on different classes &
-> found I had a lot of great teachers.
-> 
Cool.  Being a sickie has to be useful for something.
 
-> -> That will help. I only needed the radiation which took enough out of
me,
-> -> especially near the end.
-> 
->  RH> It'll do that.
-> 
-> That was when I was glad I'd done all those meals in advance. I need to
-> do something like that in January to restock the freezer before 2nd
-> semester starts.

Either that, or you'll be eating a lot of Subway.  I don't recommend the
Subway.
