Hi Ruth,

-> 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.

 RH> That happens to me too.  When I sent that package your way I used
 RH> strips someone gave me as the packing.  Flat rate box and all that.

And it worked just fine. I got the blanket done today but want to get a
picture or 2 before I give it away. Also got a dinosaur shirt for Logan
cut out.

->  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.

 RH> We got the snow, such as it is. And the cold...I don't need a freezer
 RH> now; I can just toss plastic bags of food on the back steps!

I can do that today and tomorrow but it's supposed to be in the 40s by
the week end. Had about half an inch of snow last night.

->  RH> See 35.  One of my cousins has two kids with Cystic Fibrosis.
 RH> That's 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.

 RH> Both children are under 12.

She's got a full time and a half job then.

->  RH> If it's that old it's not blue topaz. They didn't start heat
 RH> treating it to turn it blue until the 80s.  You might have lucked
 out and have 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.

 RH> Yep - sounds like.  I have a blue topaz from the 80s and they're a
 RH> really pale blue.  The colors didn't get darker until later.
 RH> Aquamarine isn't quite a true blue.  There are a few other stones it
 RH> could be too.

Time to do some more web searching then.


-> -> Have to keep looking--in all my spare time.

->  RH> Good luck with finding the spare time, unless it's in a bowling
 RH> alley.

-> Doubt I'll get there any time soon.

 RH> Me neither.  I don't bowl.

Nor do we.

-> -> And found some fodder for E-bay.

->  RH> Some, but most were too far gone.  They were all pre-1925 and I
 RH> think her older brother picked them up off the ground or
 something.  Still pretty cool though.

-> Still, might be worth a few dollars to serious collectors.

 RH> Serious collectors want them in better shape.

But if it's one they don't have and want bad enough, they might take it,
not caring that much about the condition.

-> -> 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.

 RH> And sometimes you never do find out.

That's for sure.
