 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...?

 RH> I think so. No response back from them or anybody else.
 
Eventually..  :)  Someone will show up to take it over that will be a
good match...  :)

 RH>> In this case, yes. The kitchen is even more packed up so I'm trying
 RH>> to 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... especially for those of us that normally do planovers...  ;)

 RH> Sometimes eating out produces planned overs, especially since most of
 RH> the time I eat only half of my meal, bring the other half home.

That can be remedied by ordering smaller... but not always possible, I
know...  :)

 RH> Tonight I did meat loaf, baked sweet and white potatoes (planned overs
 RH> for the above) and a butternut squash--ate all of that. Split a pear
 RH> for dessert.

Time to be using up all the planovers...  :)
 
 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 around town... Even the ones we were somewhat interested in
 NB>> either we didn't manage to go to that year, or we forgot that we had
 NB>> it... and there weren't all that many choices that interested us
 NB>> after all..

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

Yup, even at that, it takes extra effort to make it even break even.. :)
But having it convenient I'm sure helped...  :) 

ttyl           neb

... If I eat beans and onions, will I make tear gas?
