Hi Nancy,

 RH> No, had 3 young men come look at the place yesterday. All students,
 RH> in different apartments, wanting to be in one location. Don't know
 RH> if Steve has heard from them or not.

 NB> Seminary students...?

I think so. No response back from them or anybody else.


 NB>  RH>> Tonight's supper was out--Smithfield Chicken and Barbeque. (G)
 NB>  NB>> Easier than the juggling act in the kitchen...  ;)

 RH> In this case, yes. The kitchen is even more packed up so I'm trying to
 RH> cook without generating a lot of left overs too.

 NB> Eating out can help there, too... except for when there's stuff to
 NB> bring home... ;)  Usually less, though, than when one has cooked as
 NB> usual...
 NB> especially for those of us that normally do planovers...  ;)

Sometimes eating out produces planned overs, especially since most of
the time I eat only half of my meal, bring the other half home. Tonight
I did meat loaf, baked sweet and white potatoes (planned overs for the
above) and a butternut squash--ate all of that. Split a pear for
dessert.

 NB>  NB>> places...  I tend to check out promising new places at lunch
 NB> with  NB>> adventurous friends, and then maybe go back later to
 NB> them...  :)

 RH> We tried it, found we payed for the book in savings, but didn't do
 RH> much more than that. There were a lot of places or offers that weren't
 RH> of interest one way or another to us. Steve bought the on line edition
 RH> of one book last year but kept forgetting to check it so it ended up
 RH> being a donation to the company.

 NB> I think we ended up not even paying for the book in savings.  Many of
 NB> the coupons were for fast food places that we never go to anyway, or
 NB> fancy places that we had no interest in...  Same thing happened the
 NB> one year that I did manage to give a high enough pledge to the public
 NB> radio station to get their Member Card that gives 2 for 1 at various
 NB> places
 NB> around town... Even the ones we were somewhat interested in either we
 NB> didn't manage to go to that year, or we forgot that we had it... and
 NB> there weren't all that many choices that interested us after all..

We tried to make sure we at least paid for the book, but didn't get too
much savings over that. The book was kept in the car so we could make a
spur of the moment decision where to go if we wanted to or we'd bring it
inside if we wanted to look over several choices on line first.

Catch you later,
