Hi Ruth,

I've heard of it, but not had the opportunity to try it yet.

 RH> For me Big Lots is a hike. There's no Ollie's up this far.

They're both down in Raleigh. I saw Ollie's first in Selinsgrove,
PA--didn't get to go in but noticed the storefront as we drove by.
Ollie's came to Raleigh several years ago but we didn't check it out
until some time last year. Made our first acquanintance with Big Lots
when we were in Savannah as there was one nearby. I don't think we've
been to the one in Raleigh more than a couple of times.

 RH> Good idea.  I tend to buy mine fresh.

That would be quite fresh but I need to make room in the freezer before
we do it. Its always been in the back of our minds, just haven't done it
yet.

He's a lot closer so would have a better chance to get it.

It's a cat thing, that's why.

Yes, we're in for a warm spell, followed by the late December into
February deeper cold, snow and ice. T'is the season.........

From what I've seen, it does not look at all appealing.

 RH> We had PCs by then, but only engineering students usually had one.

Closest thing to it for students was an electric typewriter. When I got
my diploma in women's studies here, I used a net book for 95% of my
work, some done on a desk top but very little.
