Hi Ruth,

->  RH> old junior high is now a social services building, and these days

-> I went to a K-12 school, all in one building. For various times they had
-> off campus buildings but I was never in the "right" grade for one of
-> them. Closest I got was the portable classroom that was but a few steps
-> away from the main building. It's still a school, been remodeled several
-> times since I left. They redid the cafeteria in one of the redos but
-> probably couldn't do anything about the food. (G)

 RH> They have now, to comply with new federal regulations.  My old
 RH> elementary school did have a few of those mobile home classrooms
 RH> later, but not while I was there.  The high school didn't need them;
 RH> the kid population dropped a fair bit after they built it.

That's why some of the off campus buildings were dropped. Just before my
sophomore year, the school merged with a smaller K-12 one so their
cmapus was used for several grades for a time. Some years ago it was
closed and all students attend the campus I went to.

->  RH> I've never tried it, and these days it often wouldn't be a good
 RH> idea.

-> It's not an easy job, don't see how some folks do it well up into their
-> old age. Those dishes can get heavy!

 RH> Practice practice practice.  If you've done it day in and day out for
 RH> 40 years, it tends to feel easier.

I'm not going to go out and apply for a waitressing job again tho. I'll
let the young and strong take that kind of work.

-> A bit of a science to it if you don't want to make a big mess on the
-> bottoms of the dishes. I'll generally leave a fork or something so the
-> whole bottom surface of a plate won't come in contact with the top of a
-> dirty plate. Makes it easier on the dishwasher, manual or automatic, to
-> get the dish cleaner.

 RH> I generally rinse mine, so it's not an issue.

I rinse mine and I think a lot of commercial places do as well but it's
still not a good idea to get food stuck on to the bottom of a dish.

-> Steve added some onion & garlic powders to the macadamias, made them
-> much better but they're still not like the ones we had in HI.

 RH> They wouldn't be.  Here we just added some eau de Skunk to things
 RH> tonight. Not an improvement.

Skunk walk past an open window and get irked at something?

->  RH> Tag sale?(LOL)

-> Don't totally write it off; it may be a viable option.

 RH> It's been done twice so far.  We just accumulated more junk to replace
 RH> the old junk.


That can be a vicous cycle--get rid of old kitchen toys in order to get
new ones.

-> -> days so as not to stress the puncture site.  but, the heart is clear,
 RH> no signs of blockage.

->  RH> Phew!  One thing down.

-> Yes, and a good report. I see the cardiologist tomorrow for the official
-> report/check.

 RH> Kind of like when I get the mammogram paper in the mail to tell me
 RH> what the doctor already did. :-)

Basically, but it was all good news this time, not like the mammogram
results I got 6 years ago.

... I am positive that a definite maybe is probably in order.
