Hi Ruth,

-> -> dating back quite a few years. Theory is, the kid "writes" a paper
 RH> and that'll give them class credit.

->  RH> Only someone else ghosted it?

-> It's presumed so, from what I've read about.

 RH> Too well-written for the kid to have written it?

Other articles indicate the papers were just a number of long, strung
together quotes, lifted straight off the internet/wiki with little
substance pulling them into a proper paper. Showed up when kids got high
grades for them (listed as upper level courses) and low grades for basic
entry level classes.


-> -> What's this younger generation coming to? Not liking tomatoes? Not
 RH> quite un-American but............................(G)

->  RH> She likes ketchup just fine, but she's a weird kid. She does't like
->  RH> chocolate either.

-> She is weird! Not liking both tomatoes and chocolate--what side of the
-> family does that come from?

 RH> I have NO idea; if we weren't sure she was my sister's I'd have to
 RH> wonder if she was adopted.

I know, but makes you wonder--does her dad have equally strange tastes?
(G)


-> -> This was light, but not like common "light" green. The stones also
 RH> had some tan (?) or gold (?) flecks in them which added to the
 appeal.

->  RH> I do have some with tan in them; I made them into a necklace with
 RH> an enameled copper tree pendant.

-> My necklace just alternated the beads with about 4mm gold ones. Pretty,
-> but gone now.

 RH> I haven't seen anything like that. I've seen onyx done that way, but
 RH> never a good one.

I'm looking for the green now for that particular one. Also keeping my
eyes open for anything interesting that turns up in the gold, some
silver, line,--no bracelets however.

-> -> Lots of stuff to pollenate down here. (G)

->  RH> We have plenty here too, or will.

-> I saw first signs of pine pollen today--hopefully it'll get over and
-> done with fast.

 RH> Yuck.  We're getting rained on, which helps.

We aren't due for rain until late Monday into Tuesday. It'll be a big
help, hopefully get more later in the week.

->  RH> Too true.  It's a backbreaking job with very little reward at the
 RH> end.  You have to charge so much for the shipping that you more or
 less give away the dishes.  I'd rather just give them away.

-> Understood. Does your sister want them?

 RH> Not if she can help it.  My niece might though, when she's old enough.
 RH> The glitzy ones anyway.

So I guess they'll stay where they are for a few more years.

Catch you later,

... I am positive that a definite maybe is probably in order.
