Hi Ruth,

->  RH> Now it looks like NAP instead.

-> Cat nap, actually.

 RH> Cat nap bait at least.  One of mine spent the morning sacked out on
 RH> the housing for the Central Air system outside.  Cats sleep in odd
 RH> places.

So we've noticed. My parent's cat likes to sleep on the wicker laundry
hamper, among other places.

->  RH> I've seen them punched and made into key rings and jewelry before.

-> I've not seen that.

 RH> It seems to be a "thing".  I've found more than a few.

Penny ante jewelry? AKA cheap stuff.

->  RH> I think they still give the credit for recycled bags.  It's still
->  RH> plastic at the bulk bins, probably for logistical reasons.

-> The new WF uses paper bags with fold over tab top closures. They also
-> have a window so contents can be seen but we still have to write the
-> PLU # on them, simplifying the cashier's job.

 RH> My Big Y has the old system for its bulk bins - twist ties with space
 RH> to write.

The older WF used those--rather odd looking twist ties that you had to
make sure the PLU # was right side up on when you twisted it. I'd write
the # on that before putting it on the bag, then making sure I had it
lined up so the check out clerk didn't have to stand on her head to read
it fast.

->  RH> I was in a housekeeping cottage every summer for years as a kid. It
->  RH> had a four-burner stove, but it was the size of a postage stamp.
->  RH> Full-sized fridge though.

-> Our first apartment had a small stove (4 burner) and apartment sized
-> fridge. When the fridge went belly up, the landlord changed it out for a
-> full size. Couldn't fit a full sized stove beside it tho.

 RH> Oh well.  Can't have everything. At least you had room for the ice
 RH> cream.

More so than the first fridge in the next place we moved to. Its fridge
had no shelves in the door and the freezer held an ice tray underneath
the compartment. The compartment was barely big enough to hold a 12 oz
can of OJ concentrate and one other thing. Found a $50. "wonder" fridge
within a few weeks of moving that we were able to sub in with the
landlord's OK.
