-> -> OK, this was more years ago than I'd like to think about.
-> 
->  RH> I have a few of those stories too.  A bronze cat necklace always
->  RH> elicits questions, and I have to admit I bought the thing new...35
->  RH> years ago.(LOL) It was a fundraiser for an African missionary.
-> 
-> You must have been a kid! BTW, Steve's rice bag heater is filled & sewn

I was about ten. Maybe 11. Apparently even as a kid I had good taste. At 
least in jewelry.(LOL)

-> shut (double row of stitching, about 4 pounds of rice), waiting for him
-> at home. Surgery went well; I'm up with him in his room right now as he
-> sleeps off the anesthesia.
-> 
Phew!  I've been watching for word on that.  In the meantime, if he can't 
use the heat pack, you sure can!  They're great for warming up a cold bed
if 
nothing else.  

-> -> his helping hand. Upper ones will mean the step stools. Good thing
-> -> summer's coming on so I won't have to tie shoes. (G) We've arrainged 
for
-> -> a neighborhood kid to do yard work for us, a big help.
-> 
->  RH> Get a second grab stick?  I have one here too since step stools are
->  RH> now my enemies. I can usually reach everything, but some stuff all 
the
->  RH> way in the back defeats me.
-> 
-> We now have 3 grabbers but there are some things they won't reach or
-> won't be good for. Our kitchen cabinets don't go all the way to the
-> ceiling so we've got things stowed on top of them. We need the step
-> stool there, for safety as much as any other reason, to get them down.
-> 
That makes sense.  I've never liked cabinets that don't go all the way up. 
It's impossible to clean up there and if I had them it would be Spider 
Haven.
 
->  RH> I'm told fried bologna is actually pretty good.
-> 
-> Hot, it is better than the cold from the fridge or room temperature on
-> white bread stuff. Add a smear of spicy brown mustard and it's even
-> better.
-> 
It would be; it works on hot dogs.  Cheese works better, but mustard is
good 
too.
 
->  RH> You could do what I do - log directly into Doc's over a web
browser.
-> 
-> I'm working off of my net book right now; I'm used to it and how it does
-> Fido.
-> 
Good enough.  If it works, go with it.
 
-> -> Interesting--made clean up easy. (G)
-> 
->  RH> Definitely.  They were also postage stamps, otherwise I'd want one 
of
->  RH> them here!  Hot as all get-out in the summer though.
-> 
-> I've been in bigger kitchens that have gotten that way. (G) Canning, in
-> the summer, will do it, even with AC. A couple of years ago when we
-> brought tomatoes and peaches back from PA, we did most of the work on
-> the side burner to the gas grill to keep the kitchen cooler. As is,
-> outside temps hit 100 that day.

Ecch. Not.  That's why great-grandma had a stove out in a shed in back of 
her house, and grandma had a stove in the basement.  My sister has a gas 
grill too; it's hooked to the natural gas line.  They have gas heat and a 
gas stove and a gas fireplace, so getting it hooked up was pretty cheap.  
Beats using propane tanks too, hands down.  Great-grandma's spare stove was 
...coal-fired.  Ugh.
 
->  RH> I pick up pieces to read it, so that I can see the print with my
->  RH> glasses off.  The remaining paper is cat bait.
-> 
-> We don't have the cat; the one we had last, didn't bother with the
-> paper.

Poor kitty - didn't know what she was missing.  If you can't pest the
humans 
you can't have any fun.  
 
-> ->  RH> Pretty much.  I'm a lot number even than usual.  Just try doing
->  RH> stairs like that.  Better yet, don't.
-> 
-> -> Time for a rice bag or two?
-> 
->  RH> One yes, but heat makes MS worse.
-> 
-> Double whammy; you can't even take full advantage of your own rice bags.

I can use one on my shoulders, but wouldn't dare go further down.  
 
-> -> it stove top yesterday afternoon, then transferred it to the crock
pot
-> -> liner which we put in the church fridge until this morning. Pulled it
-> -> out, put it in the crock pot to heat until after morning worship. 
Served
-> -> it with chips, baby carrots & dip and ice cream & cookies.
-> 
->  RH> Ice cream.  Cookies.  Sounds good to me!
-> 
-> It was, didn't disappear like the pound cake but still was well
-> received.

It'll do.  Man does not live by pound cake alone, but by every cheesecake 
that proceeds from the ovens of God.(LOL)
