 RH>>> She's making a come back now I've seen.
 NB>>> Those I didn't pay much if any attention to... then or now... ;)
 RH>> Because you had a boy, not girls. Don't know the age difference, but
 RH>> these dolls were big in the early to mid 80s--Rachel got hers in 82,
 RH>> Deborah in 84, both at age 4.
 NB>> He was 4 in 78, so 4-6 years older than your girls...

 RH> So probably wouldn't have been into the scented dolls, had he been a
 RH> girl, anyway. He'd have been more into Barbie then.
 
Possibly, hard to tell... faddish things weren't a high priority in this
household...  ;)
 
 RH>> Something may turn up, not what he really wants, but enough to pay the
 RH>> bills, pay the rent and buy food.
 NB>> He'll be happy with a Carribbean boat, probably almost as much as
 NB>> if he'd timed it better for the Med.  :)  And he's pretty good at
 NB>> scrambling to get some sort of job when needed to keep himself in
 NB>> food and shelter... done that since he went away to college...  :)
 NB>> I don't worry about him.  :)

 RH> You did a good job of raising him then.

We think we did pretty well, usually...  ;) 
 
 RH>>> But, it all worked out in the long run. (G)
 NB>>> Yup.  He gave me the space I needed, and the support, and we're
 NB>>> still quite happily together now.... :)  or at least,
 NB>>> contentedly... ;)
 RH>> How many years now? We'll reach 40 next year.
 NB>> It'll be 42 coming up...  :)

 RH> So, just a couple of years ahead of us.

Yup.
 
 RH>> Not really overeaten, just had more than we usually do, in a tighter
 RH>> time frame. We'd had lunch not that long before choir practice so we
 RH>> weren't hungry enough for a doughnut.
 NB>> Ok.

 RH> Also, harder to sing on a fuller stomach. I'd rather have less to eat,
 RH> than more, before a practice if I didn't have the time to let it
 RH> settle. 

So the doughnuts were being offered before practice, not after....?
