Hi Carol,

RH> I'm recycling more here than any other post since more is allowed.
RH> Trying to keep up with things so we're not swamped in spring of 09 whe

 CS> We are filtering out tons of stuff here now.  Old magazines and such
 CS> that we'll never want again.  Old mail order catalogs.  Even old VCR

Sounds like what I do before a move.

 CS> tapes that we'll never want again (Charlotte's kid cartoons and sesame

We just bought a combo DVD/VCR and will tape the better hoe tapes onto
DVDs.  We'll still have to keep the VCR compoment for the commercial
tapes.  But, still, it will make a big difference in the shelf space
available.  We had a VCR abotu 15 years before we got a DVD player;
we've had a DVD player now for just about 6 years (bought Sept 10, 01)
and have almost as many DVDs as we do tapes, commercial and home taped.
(G)  Some tapes I'll watch while re doing so I can edit out commercials;
my parents sent "The Greatest Show on Earth" while we were in Germany
and it has a gazillion commercials for Orville Redinbacher popcorn with
the old man and his grandson.

 CS> which Charlotte doesnt like either.Old coats that Charlotte outgrew.
 CS> What others want, they are picking up.  There's even a new family with
 CS> toddlers who took all the old TV tapes for their kids (yes, they have
 CS> a VCR).

Sounds like a typical military move. (G)

 CS> Same here.  The girls like to 'play' but I see none of the makeup
 CS> 'queens' I did when I was in school.  Apparently that is either 'out'
 CS> or just not a popular Sasebo trait.

RH> I don't see it as much as when I was in school either.  Some girls wer
RH> really heavy with it--and ended it at the chin line.  I think it's the
RH> times overall that have changed, with less emphasis on the makeup,
RH> rolling the hair, etc.

 CS> I havent seen anyone roll their hair in years <g>.  Makeup is more
 CS> 'natrual looking' now except the lipsticks and temp tatoos (little
 CS> spangly stars and things).  Oh and the wild nailpolishes and designs.

And piercings.  Also, more older kids have permanent tatoos.

 CS> Giggles! I love that idea!  Poor critter.  Nevr challange a woman with
 CS> hairspray!

RH> It worked!  Kept us from being stung.  That, and a light coat on a
RH> pencil or chalk drawing as a fixative are the best uses for hair spray

 CS> I never did use that stuff much.  Rare times with a special hairstyle
 CS> back when I was in High School but not often even then.  I do use gels
 CS> sometimes though.

I'll use a curling iron sometimes but mostly just wash and comb it out.
My hair is baby fine and thin.


RH> So who will take over the stock making when you leave?

 CS> Dunno!  But I'm not the only one here that makes stocks and {blush}
 CS> crockpots seem to have gotten pretty common somehow....  Funny how
 CS> that happened!  Elise has one too now.  She got a big unit like mine
 CS> for her anniversary just a few days ago.  Jodie aso got one about a
 CS> month ago though it's not as fancy as mine.  It will do fine for
 CS> stocks and things.  Jodie got the tall model as she says she doesnt
 CS> want to lose counter space (has a house in Corpus Cristi Texas with
 CS> limited counterspace).

Sounds like several will be able to fill in, as needed. I've got a
taller crock pot but do most of my stock making on the stove.  Then,
too, I'm home to babysit it more.


 CS> My back is feeling *much* better today.  Maybe taking all those pills
 CS> was a good thing to heal it up faster?

Could be, just don't challenge it.
