===================
 RH> Have you seen those newer car seats? They are heavy, probably 20 or
 RH> more pounds. If you get a changing table, high chair, and the other
 RH> stuff I listed above, you're taking about over 100 pounds.

The car seats I know about, having lifted them - I'd be
somewhat surprised if they were that heavy. I forgot about
some of that equipment; I think that last I noticed, changing
tables were not dedicated appliances.

  A private

But perhaps not so much furniture yet. And I figure that
the ease of getting sofas and beds on the resale market
might have something to do with the size of the allowance
(i.e., you can get one anyplace, why haul and old one
around?).

 ML> If they had handles or were tied up sturdily, I could do two at
 ML> once. Those were the days.
 RH> I could lift maybe the 40 but not twice that.

I still claim the ability to do an exit door, which can
weigh up to about 40; never did one, but Lilli, who is
pretty strong for a frail old lady, has, during flight
attendant training; one of the perks of being the uber
frequent fliers that we are was the chance to take flight
attendant training, during which I got to go down the
slide 3 times out of 4 opportunities (I was the photographer
for one of them, and a pretty crummy one at that).
 
 RH> Yes, and other interests that produce lots of books. Steve was looking

It's the same intellectual property, and although it goes
against my grain, too, I can see why.

Probably, but I wasn't going for that.

 ML> once saw an ad for McLaksa. That stuff doesn't affect

 RH> I'd try some of the local menu items over a Big Mac

Lilli, as my portrait of her is painted, I believe
accurately, is not so adventurous.

 ML> In many places, breakfast is a wholly savory affair and

What's with all the sugar is the only question I have.

Scots Crumpets

Make as for Pancakes but mix to a pouring consistency. Drop in
spoonfuls on a heated girdle leaving room for spreading. They
