Hi Ruth,

->  RH> If they want to get drafted, they'd better.

-> And in a few weeks we'll find out who's going, who's staying.

 RH> And who isn't sure which way's up.

Normal for college kids.


->  RH> It's a thought.  It's also an all-day job; I don't think a kid her
 RH> age has the patience.

-> Get her in on parts of it thruout the day. Make it a fun project and
-> she'll enjoy it more.

 RH> If we were in the same place, it could work.

She does come to visit, I presume. Or, you can invite her for the day to
work on that, and other projects.

->  RH> You want the ones with the green flecks, or the solid green?

-> Was thinking green with brown flecks, like the ones that got taken.

 RH> Those I don't have, but do have a string of the other ones.  They're
 RH> not hard to find.

Cash flow is the big hold up now for me.


->  RH> That's why I hit rummage and tag sales.  Estate sales too - picked
 RH> up some Japanese and French glass today for not much.  The
 French glass has Restring Me written all over it, once I get the
 corrosion off the metal parts first.

-> I'm not seeing many sales yet--too cold, wet, windy. Besides, we're
-> still mostly on foot.

 RH> That would be a problem.  You'll have to get Steve back on the road
 RH> and watch for rummage sales.  I have one in my sights for April 5.

You want to light a fire under NC-DMV? Besides, there's the cash flow
problem I mentioned above. He's still not working so income is tight.

->  RH> Grocery store robbery!

-> ->  RH> Yep.  Even graham crackers are now in a 14 ounce box.

-> -> All brands or just the big name ones?

->  RH> All of the ones I saw, even the store brand.

-> Go figure! Smaller crackers or fewer per box?

 RH> Yes.  I've been reading lots of complaints about it from folks who
 RH> make soccer mom bars.  The "new and improved" versions mess up
 RH> recipes.

As to be expected. I'll have to see how they would work for the layered
dessert we use them for. (crackers, pudding, repeat, top with crackers,
cool whip)

-> -> happened. They said to keep it, add it to my demo kit. It was usually
-> -> something small but a nice "add on" so if customers were looking to
-> -> round up an order, I could show them that this was available for not
-> -> that much more of a cost. After the company folded, it was all mine
 RH> to keep.

->  RH> Gotta love that part, even if didn't come with getting paid too.

-> I'm still using some of the stuff--scissors, floss holders, small things
-> like that.

 RH> I'm still using stuff of my grandmother's; some of that little stuff
 RH> lives forever.

I've got my paternal grandmother's scissors (trim type, not good for
cutting huge amounts of fabric) that get grabbed from time to time.

-> -> Ours have been good. If we were just getting established here in WF,
 RH> I'd consider starting one again. Since we don't know how much
 longer we'll be here, I think I'll not, but do so wherever we move to
 next.

->  RH> I think I've given up on it.

-> It's something that needs tending every so often too, so have to keep
-> baking. I had to get really creative a few times, figuring out what to
-> make with it--sourdough pizza crust came out of one of those times.

 RH> I tried, but even fresh it wasn't much good.  A better sour source
 RH> would have helped.

Probably so.

Catch you later,
