Hi Ruth,

->  RH> I went - I think I found enough gold scrap in the "bit box" of
 RH> random jewelry and craft supplies to pay for everything I picked
 up.

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

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

Good going!

->  RH> It's a thought.  Might as well line your own pockets instead of
->  RH> theirs.

-> But we won't, for the time being, at least.

 RH> Have to be able to afford the pockets first.

Those can be made from on hand fabric. Round lots of stock, not so easy
to afford. Have to check who makes it/stock prices, etc. Meanwhile, we
just buy more packets of stevia.

->  RH> Oh well. It was a thought.  I passed one to my doctor's office on
->  RH> Tuesday. You should have seen the eyes light up.

-> We've a few ideas kicking around. Had a picture of the 2 of us taken
-> last month, maybe a framed copy of that. Maybe some smoked cheeses and
-> other goodies, diabetic friendly for Mom's sake.

 RH> Smoked cheese is always good.

So is unsmoked, especially if you have the same type in smoked &
unsmoked. Gives people a chance to see the difference smoking makes.

->  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.

 RH> Good idea.  I get this callus in a weird spot on my foot.  If it gets
 RH> annoying I just take a single blade razor to it. Can't do that with a
 RH> bone spur.

No, he sees the VA doctor next month and will figure out then what to
do.

->  RH> Good find, and not a horrible loss.  If you have to lose gold,
 RH> that's  the kind to lose.  I picked up some random bits - mostly
 earring backs and some fine busted chain, in a sale this morning.
 Nothing worth any 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.

 RH> I break up pairs sometimes, but only into component parts.  Those
 RH> beaded earrings from the 60s, the button ones, are often made of
 RH> pretty beads.  I turn ugly earrings into pretty necklaces if the
 RH> findings aren't in good shape.  Sometimes the wires get corroded and
 RH> the earrings are going to fall apart anyway.

I look for odd ones, figuring somebody might want to adopt intact pairs.
Found an interesting necklace tonight--alternating greyish and pumpkin
colored beads (need to check them in natural light).

->  RH> BTW - keep an eye peeled for a small flat rate Priority box.

-> OK, eyes peeled--like a banana or grape? (G)

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

It might have held some apple bananas--came in yesterday. (Look for an
e-mail in the next day or so.)
