Hi Ruth,

->  RH> Yep.  Go figure.  Maybe God wants me to haul it to the store and
->  RH> evangelize the clerk or something? (-:

-> Too bad we don't live closer; Steve would take a look at it and probably
-> figure out if it's dying or needs just a tweak here & there to revive

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

Now that you've returned the new one, the old one will up and die on
you. (G)

->  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.

 RH> True - that would be a bloody mess and no one left alive to clean
 RH> up....

So it's much better this way.  Got all A's this past semester, and a
100% on my paper on Stress, written the day it was due because of our
trip to NY in november.


-> 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.

 RH> I don't think I've ever had a pumpkin roll.  I'll be getting rum cake,
 RH> since that's what my sister is making.  Her house.  Her dessert.

Do you have a recipe? If not, I'll make sure one gets to you.  Since my
dad can't have nuts for a couple more weeks (medical restriction),
they're being left out this time.

->  RH> Good idea.  Wish I had one like that.

-> If you didn't do the E-bay thing........................

 RH> I wouldn't be supporting the Salvation Army and a lot of local
 RH> churches. (LOL)

So it works both ways.  SA & churches get your support, Sarah's Cottage
& our church get our support.

-> -> Sounds good, even 99 cent stuff.

 RH> Some stuff didn't fit or just didn't work.  There's a bitty
 RH> consignment place in the middle of town that took some of the clothes
 RH> and some shoes I can't wear any more.  I may break even on the
 RH> clothes.  Not so much on the shoes.

They're iffy anyway. I'd rather, with my foot problems, buy my shoes new
so I don't have to deal with how someone else's foot configured the
shoe.

->  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.

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

Now that was a good deal. We got a bacon press at Sarah's Cottage the
other day for half the marked price.

-> 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.

 RH> Cool.  Being a sickie has to be useful for something.

At times, yes. (G)

-> 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.

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

Nor do I and neither of us has the figure Jared Fogel started out with.
I'll do some things that will take advantage of the stuff I've got on
hand--make more meat balls, some marinara sauce, kalua style pork, etc.
