-> -> Sounds about the size (or bigger) than the 18 c/f one we had. We were
-> -> smart tho, & got it in white.
-> 
->  RH> I more or less inherited this one.  I got what I got.
-> 
-> Price was right however. Just think of all that can be kept in it--if
-> the power stays on, you could eat out of it for months without going to
-> the grocery store.
-> 
I can go a month without buying meat, for sure.

-> -> Either way, he probably did well.
-> 
->  RH> Quite likely.
-> 
-> My late BIL collected abandoned/stray golf balls whenever he went
-> golfing. A few months before he passed away, he sold his collection (420
-> dozen) to someone for $1./dozen. We figured the buyer would resell them
-> to a driving range or some other place that goes thru a lot of balls and
-> doesn't care too much about condition. Michael started collecting more,
-> not sure how many he'd gotten before he died.

I've heard of kids financing a car by collecting stray golf balls.  Of 
course that was in the days of cheap gas, but even so.  Golfers pay all 
sorts of money for their toys.
 
-> -> Mine have gone to babies hospitalised long term with special needs, 
kids
-> -> in crisis situations (Project Linus), veterans and of course,

-> 
->  RH> Well naturally.  My sister and niece have gotten multiples. I've
got

-> 
-> I've got some small ones to put together, and others planned but not the

I'm a packrat, and the child of packrats.  Some of it's no good for 
quilting, at least not the traditional kind. 
 
-> -> No old muslin but may use some new. A friend in GA gave me some
larger

-> 
->  RH> Can't say I did.
-> 
-> Learn something new every day.................

Lots of stuff came out of the Middle East that we don't even think about 
now.

I'm
-> 
-> I was raised on it too; Dad would pick a stalk, wash it off and let us
-> eat it raw. Still one of my favorite fruits.

I've never done it raw.  I have been wondering what it would do as a celery 
substitute. 
 
->  RH> not sure how one cooks a dishcloth.(LOL)  It'll be 90 here by the 
end
->  RH> of the week. My MS is not pleased with the weather bopping around.
-> 
-> Dishcloth was a freebie as I'd given the cotton a couple of weeks
-> before. It was left over from another project.
-> 
Cool.  I like freebies.
