-> ->  RH> would make it even worse, so I'm just adding a little chunk of

won't

-> 
-> -> OK, without seeing it in person, I was guessing as to what might
work.
-> -> Sounds like you've got it worked out.
-> 
->  RH> I'm used to improvising, so it's not a big deal.
-> 
-> Work with what you've got. I just have to trim the backing, then do a
-> fold over binding on a flip & sew flannel bably blanket. Strips were a
-> gift, bought the backing.
-> 
That happens to me too.  When I sent that package your way I used strips 
someone gave me as the packing.  Flat rate box and all that.

->  RH> I've made them out of all pork before. It's not bad.
-> 
-> I couldn't get away with it. I think I'd rather use sausage than ground
-> pork; it has more flavor. But, I was using up from the freezer so this
-> worked. We're due for more cold, with a good possiblility of snow,
-> starting tomorrow afternoon. The freezer is well stocked, as is the
-> fridge and pantry so we will eat well. If the power goes off, we've got
-> a propane camp stove and grill.
-> 
We got the snow, such as it is. And the cold...I don't need a freezer now;
I 
can just toss plastic bags of food on the back steps!
 
-> -> Or have a major medical issue pop up.
-> 
->  RH> See 35.  One of my cousins has two kids with Cystic Fibrosis.  
That's
->  RH> a lot of doctors too.
-> 
-> The year I hit 39 I had a number of issues, some have lingered on over
-> the years. The wrist re-do in 2012 was one of the long term issues. But
-> yes, I think your cousin has us both beat, with 2 kids having major
-> medical issues.

Both children are under 12. 
 
-> -> This is an older ring--got it from my mom who probably got it from
her
-> -> mom. Doubt my mom ever wore it as it was rather small (but I still
-> -> needed it sized down a bit).
-> 
->  RH> If it's that old it's not blue topaz. They didn't start heat 
treating
->  RH> it to turn it blue until the 80s.  You might have lucked out and 
have
->  RH> an aquamarine instead; they're worth quite a bit more.
-> 
-> Have to check it out; my grandmother passed away in 1974 so it could be
-> an aquamarine. It's not quite as blue as the necklace I got last week so
-> I'm beginning to wonder.

Yep - sounds like.  I have a blue topaz from the 80s and they're a really 
pale blue.  The colors didn't get darker until later.  Aquamarine isn't 
quite a true blue.  There are a few other stones it could be too.  
 
-> -> Have to keep looking--in all my spare time.
-> 
->  RH> Good luck with finding the spare time, unless it's in a bowling 
alley.
-> 
-> Doubt I'll get there any time soon.

Me neither.  I don't bowl.
 
-> -> And found some fodder for E-bay.
-> 
->  RH> Some, but most were too far gone.  They were all pre-1925 and I 
think
->  RH> her older brother picked them up off the ground or something. 
Still
->  RH> pretty cool though.
-> 
-> Still, might be worth a few dollars to serious collectors.

Serious collectors want them in better shape.  
 
-> ->  RH> One way to find out.
-> 
-> -> Patience; the answer will come in time. Right now, it's "yes, no or
-> -> maybe".
-> 
->  RH> And sometimes it's all of the above.
-> 
-> Or none of the above.

And sometimes you never do find out.
