Hi Ruth,

->  RH> That doesn't count as "stuff".  That's "art".  Art doesn't count.
->  RH> ask any artist.

-> Right!  I'm a needle & thread artist.

 RH> That's "artiste" to you, bub.

Artist is just as good for me.

->  RH> aren't that tough, and Max was one determined cat.

-> IOW, hot sauce would not even faze him.

 RH> Probably wouldn't have.

Think he'd drink it up and ask for more?

-> one as a child until I was 6, I must have gotten my firm minded ness
-> from some other source.

 RH> Hmmm, probably of the maternal variety.

Probably several sources in reality.

-> Especially in anything above high school level.

 RH> I've been known to freak out a few people here and there.  Odd bits of
 RH> knowledge make their way in and stick.  I'll bet Steve does the same
 RH> thing.

Actually, we both do that a lot.  Helpful for Jeopardy try outs or
playing along at home.


->  RH> True. I don't have a Master Sargent yelling at me.  As a civilian,

-> Master Sergeant is technically below a First Sergeant.  First Sergeant
-> is usually a Master Sergeant but by position he/she out ranks other
-> MSGs.  You're probably thinking of a CSM (Command Sergeant Major); they
-> do out rank a 1st SGT.

 RH> Gunnies and the like.  It's been a while since I had to sort out
 RH> noncom ranks.

No Gunnies in the Army; they're a Marine Corps specialty.  But, yes, the
same rank/position.

-> You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

 RH> Catch more girls that way too, as they find out.

Most generally.

->  RH> Sweet tea sends me straight for a glass of water.

-> Depending on the water, I'd rather have the tea.  The water here in WF
-> is so bad that I drink more ofit filtered than not; most places I
-> adapted to drinking it unfiltered within a few weeks but not here.
-> Steve describes it as having an algae taste; I taste a heavy chlorine
-> flavor.

 RH> Uhmmm - yuck.  Nasty.  I couldn't drink that either.  Algae and
 RH> chlorine ... I'm not even sure I could bathe in it never mind drink
 RH> it.

We have a filter on the kitchen sink faucet that filters a lot more of
the water we use than most of our last places we've lived.  In Berlin we
had a distiller because the water had sulpher in it.  We burned out the
one we'd gotten in Frankfurt & had to get a new one.  It took quite a
while to do a gallon but it was well worth it.
