Hi Nancy,

 NB> splurge... often
 NB>  NB>> coupon driven... :)

 RH> Where do you get the coupons--are they store specific, on line or
 RH> otherwise? I don't think I've ever seen coupons for any olives, fancy
 RH> bar type or otherwise.

 NB> Wegmans sometimes has a store coupon for $1 off a Mediteranean bar (as
 NB> they dub it) purchase of $5 or more... they have a monthly-ish
 NB> magazine that is mailed out to regular customers, with articles,
 NB> recipes, hints
 NB> and, yes, coupons... usually somewhat tied in with the theme of that
 NB> issue, for things throughout the store...  sometimes there might be a
 NB> coupon in that for their jarred specialty olives instead.  I've seen

OK, since we're not regular customers, we don't get the mail out
magazine. I'll pick up their in store freebie whenever we're up there
but we always go for non olive type items (G) that can't be found in NC
(or wherever we're located).

 NB> manufacturers' coupons for the canned olives from time to time in the
 NB> newspaper/mailbox-advert inserts, as well.  I don't do online
 NB> coupons...

I don't do on line coupond either, and don't ever recall seeing coupond
in the flyers for olives. Guess I ought to check the on lines but that
would be something else to keep me away from the sewing. (G)

 RH> If I don't have any more goof ups, they'll get them. Last night the
 RH> bottom layer of fabric that I was serging got folded up and caught in
 RH> the serger knife. OOPS! I'd bought extra fabric and the aprons are
 RH> small enough sizes, I was able to cut a new piece of the one that was
 RH> ruined. The cut wasn't but a couple of inches long but not possible to
 RH> work around it.

 NB> Sigh...  OOPS indeed...  Good thing you still had some fabric left to
 NB> try again.  That can be so frustrating, when things seem to be going
 NB> fine and then something like that happens...  ;0

Always happens--working on something urgent/big project and a major
glitch strikes. Got this one worked out and aprons went into the mail
last week, priority. Still had enough fabric to do a table runner for my
MIL with some of the extra.


 NB>  NB>> There you go... another project just waiting for you...  (G)

 RH> That skirt will go to the Sharing Shop. If I need another black skirt,
 RH> I'll make one. Somebody else will benefit from my weight loss.

 NB> Or maybe you'll find one in your size at the Sharing Shop...  :)

Not going to hold my breath on that one. We may be gone out of here
before I need one again. Then it's time to make one (or buy, if I can
find something I'm relatively happpy with).

 RH> It was, and we all had lots to eat. We did a veggie tray with dip
 RH> and assorted cheeses and crackers--warned the parents about the
 RH> smoked habenero cheddar so they could make sure their little ones
 RH> didn't get any.

 NB> Unless the little ones were budding chile-heads...  ;)  I've known a
 NB> few that enjoyed spicy things at quite a young age... :)

That's why we warn. There's also a lot of adults who don't like hot &
spicy so they are wrned as well.
