Ärende: Dinner out
==================
-> -> it had to be done in a timely manner.  Branch looked at it a few
months
-> -> later; our assignment would have taken longer to go thru had that
-> 
->  RH> Ahh - a case of do it or else.  Under those circumstances, paper
->  RH> moves. Otherwise, I've seen things like building permits take six
->  RH> months.
-> 
-> Yes, it could have been delayed but knowing that it was in ur best
-> interest not to be, the paperwork was done in an expedited manner.  BTW,
-> 13 years ago when our church in AZ wanted to build a new building, the
-> permitting process was held up for several months.  When we were finally
-> allowed to get the needed ones, fees had been reduced signifigantly.
-> Sometimes a wait can be beneficial.
-> 
Sometimes, and sometimes they double the prices in the meantime.

->  RH> I'm driving a 93, but it's always lived in Connecticut.
-> 
-> And how much rust is it showing?

None that I can see.  It's kept garaged in bad weather.
 
-> That's where it's too bad there's no "community owned" serger for the
-> relatively few times most people would want to have use of it.  I do
-> enough sewing that having my own has paid for itself.  I call it
-> "Temperamental" because it can have a temper (especially the lower
-> looper) and sometimes I think I was mental to get it.  But, I"d rather
-> have one than not.

That describes half of my equipment.  Cranky, but functional ...come to
think of it, half the time that describes me too.
 
-> -> (but still worked, we got it in 84).  I think she's still using it.
-> 
->  RH> I've seen the kind with physical numbers that flip still running.
-> 
-> My first clock radio (for a high school graduation present) had that
-> kind of numbers-----really impressed a lot of the guys until the LED
-> models came out a couple of years later.

I never knew when those flip numbered things were made - I assumed early to
mid 70s but don't remember that far back.
 
-> ->  RH> any more peanut butter on mice.
-> 
-> -> Hawaiian mice have different tastes. (G)
-> 
->  RH> They were raised on spam!
-> 
-> That, or poi.

If they were raised on poi they'll eat anything.
