-> Always helpful to have your purchase pay for itself.

Some of it went bye-bye this afternoon.  I'm almost even already.

Have to be able to afford the pockets first.

-> We've a few ideas kicking around. Had a picture of the 2 of us taken

-> 
Smoked cheese is always good.  
 
->  RH> Make sure he behaves himself.

-> Trying to. He found out he's got a bone spur in the one foot. Walked up
-> to (and around) campus and back the other day, found out it was a bit
-> much. He sat for the Christmas choir performance today--we had 12 people
-> singing! Last time we participated it was, IIRC, only 9.

Good idea.  I get this callus in a weird spot on my foot.  If it gets 
annoying I just take a single blade razor to it. Can't do that with a bone 
spur.  
 
->  RH> Good find, and not a horrible loss.  If you have to lose gold, 
that's
->  RH> the kind to lose.  I picked up some random bits - mostly earring 
backs
->  RH> and some fine busted chain, in a sale this morning.  Nothing worth 
any
->  RH> real money.
-> 
-> Sigh! I've not found any stray earrings to make into necklaces either.
-> Some interesting ones in the pairs box (over at the Sharing Shop) but
-> I'm not going to break up a pair.

I break up pairs sometimes, but only into component parts.  Those beaded 
earrings from the 60s, the button ones, are often made of pretty beads.  I 
turn ugly earrings into pretty necklaces if the findings aren't in good 
shape.  Sometimes the wires get corroded and the earrings are going to fall 
apart anyway.  
 
->  RH> BTW - keep an eye peeled for a small flat rate Priority box.
-> 
-> OK, eyes peeled--like a banana or grape? (G)

Grape; I don't think it's big enough for a standard Cavendish.
