Hi Ruth,

-> bad, the subscriber base has seriously declined also.  Less money in the
-> paper, less quality paper. And don't even think of them spending the
-> family money to support it.

 RH> Just as well then.  It sounds like it needs to either turn into one of
 RH> these weekly ad (plus a little news) papers or just quietly rust in
 RH> peace.

I suspect it'll be the latter; there are several other "Pennysaver"
types in the county already.

->  RH> have made of female combat troops.

-> There's a large number of people who arent thrilled with that idea yet.
-> My dad was torn two ways with Deborah's enlistment and deployment; on
-> the one hand, didn't like it at all but on the other hand, busting
-> buttons about his granddaughter in the Army.

 RH> What I can't figure out is why they'd think women couldn't do it.

Male thinking. (G)

 RH> Should or shouldn't is another matter.  I think my Dad actually liked
 RH> the idea; he'd had a bunch of women in his life who would have made
 RH> great top
 RH> sergeants. :-)

There's a lot going into making a good "top";  I've known a couple of
female ones.  Problem is, you get some that want to act just like or
outdo the guys in everything to prove that females can do it. Those
aren't as effective leadership NCOs as ones who haven't that chip on
their shoulder.

-> Steve rates mine above all take out; I must admit, I'm not too thrilled
-> with any of thechain pizza places.  Used to be a nice little place in
-> Geneseo, NY that did a fantastic one; wonder if they still exsist.  They
-> made probably the best pizza I've ever bought and eaten.

 RH> The good stuff is usually strictly local.  The local pizza joints are
 RH> good enough that the chain stores closed down due to a lack of

This was back in the days when Pizza Hut was basically the only other
game in town and they didn't deliver. Have to go thru the town now and
see if they've gone under or been taken over by one of the franchises.

->  RH> My watch is the only jewelry I wear reliably, but I love vintage

-> I could go for it to some extent, but don't wear much of any overall.

 RH> It snags on the fabric, of course.

Yes, and I run a lot of that thru my fingers.  The sewing room is
basically set up so next week I'll get serious about sewing again.  The
cantata is this week end so once that's finished, most of my major
committment for the holidays is over, just an occaisional outing here &
there.  Robert won't get a home sewn gift this year for Christmas but I
can surprise him maybe this spring with something.

-> is quite versatile. Shelf and bottom used to hold cookbooks--until my
-> collection exceeded available space. (G)

 RH> Mine is housed on a four-shelf pantry unit.  The cookbooks take up two
 RH> out of four, and part of the other two.  The main shelves are
 RH> double-racked.  I ran out of space in the kitchen about 200 cookbooks

I don't think I have 200 cookbooks.  Close to 100 maybe.  I want to pick
up a couple of Paula Deen's first 2 or 3 before leaving the area, plus a
good one to represent either just Savannah or the state as a whole.


-> one.  With Hawaii, the big bug a boo was the $$$$ spent in travel for
-> the local team as well as those coming to play them.

 RH> I can understand that.  Hawaii is a great place to visit ... as long
 RH> as someone else is paying for the jet fuel!

Yes, and the coaches are always fussing about it.
