Hi Janis,

 JK> I'm not sure if I am or not :)  I think sometimes that Ron and I are
 JK> cross between the two (g).

That brings back memories of college. One of my psychology professors
designed a personality test that categorised people as totally creative,
totally organised (functionally based might be a better descriptive), or
a mix of both--highly creative/functional or low on both or high in one
and low in the other. It sounds like you would fit in the highly
creative/functional category. (G)

 JK> Wow :)  Patient truck drivers, that's for sure!! :)

Yes, after honking at the cat and waiting a bit, they would finally go
around him.

 JK> That would be so neat.. I have Corel Draw here, and I think sometimes

 JK> nice (g).

OTOH, I prefer to draw with pencil and paper--and why are you not
surprised? (G)


 JK> > No, commonplace. Normal, everyday stuff.

 JK> Geez.. We miss a bit of the old world here in the states I think..

Very much so. In Germany you could get your bread from a bakery, your
meat from a butcher, etc.  Supermarkets were not as common as here in
the states, generally smaller too.

 JK> At the time, Warwick (the village) was maybe 1000 people.. but I'd

I'm talking still Margaretvile is that small. (G)

 JK> Oh yeah, I know the forced-labor problem haha.   They love having

 JK> neat to see.

That's good. Dad gave us either a small area in one of his 2 gardens or
a small plot elsewhere, plus we had to help weed his gardens.


 JK> > Canning is so much better in so many ways than freezing--but I still

 JK> I use it a lot for sure.. especially if the heat is getting to me, and
 JK> I can't work in the garden out in the sun, harvest stuff, and then
 JK> come in and
 JK> immediately can it.. that can be a bit much :)  I realize I'm not
 JK> superwoman (g).  (maybe wonderwoman, though Lol).

I have to take most things in stages but the end product is nice to look
at (or see on the inventory sheet).

 JK> That makes sense :)

After all, not everybody likes the same way of eating that we do.
