============================
-> -> by the push of a button.  Our default setting is metric as it's more
-> -> precise.  No precious metals dealt with around here, just various
-> -> grains, apportioning salad greens, desserts, etc.  Good for helping
us
-> -> keep better portion control on some things.
-> 
->  RH> I have one for Ebay, but it won't register anything under five
grams.
->  RH> It works nicely as a mail scale though.
-> 
-> Ours zeroes out & we can weigh anything from one gram up.  Handy little
-> widget to keep around.

Sounds like.  It would be great for spices.
 
-> -> It's been known to happen. (G)
-> 
->  RH> Hmmm, she's also got blue eyes.  Maybe she really is a changeling?
(G)
-> 
-> Both our grand kids have blue eyes.  David's are blue, I've got a blue
-> recessive gene, Steve's eyes are hazel.  Rachel's are brown but she must
-> have gotten the recessive blue.
-> 
We must have a recessive blue around somewhere too. My sister and I both
have green eyes.  Mom's are blue-green and my Dad's were brown.  It still
looks funny.
 
-> -> And I have no problem.  But, I can also handle a good sized chef's
knife
-> -> almost like a paring knife at times.
-> 
->  RH> I've been known to use a chef's knife as a paring knife a time or
two.
-> 
-> Handy when the paring knife is in the dishwasher. (G)

Or when you don't feel like cleaning more than one knife.
 
-> -> Probably more likely to be found at estate sales these days.
-> 
->  RH> Occasionally, but they're usually snagged by the family.
-> 
-> Depends on the family.  Most of mine would say "get rid of that junk".

Mine would be gleefully yelling "dibs"!  
 
-> -> It was his way of asking me not to have my ears done; I had no
problem
-> -> with it as I never really had the urge to get them pierced anyway.
-> 
->  RH> Me neither.  If I had mine done, I wouldn't be able to wear all my
->  RH> vintage stuff so it would be pointless.
-> 
-> No vintage ear rings or too many to wear?
-> 
No vintange non-14K or better earrings.  My family runs to metal allergies,
but I'm OK as long as I don't have a raw hole/contact somewhere.  
 
->  RH> I think it got into the 40s today, and we did indeed get snow.  It
->  RH> melted as it hit, but it was snow.
-> 
-> We got rain.  But, today was in the low 70s, supposed to warm up a bit
-> more thru the week with more rain by Friday.

You had a heat wave.  
 
-> -> MD.  The city of Wake Forest gave out forest green bags as part of
their
-> -> energy savings display at city hall earlier this month.
-> 
->  RH> Smooth plastic sides, or the nonwoven fabric ones?
-> 
-> Feels like polyester.

It's probably nylon, but close enough.  Poly wouldn't be strong enough.
 
->  RH> I don't use those either, because half the time they don't work
->  RH> anyway.
-> 
-> They could really use them, esppecially my mom.  But, since she hardly
-> drives anyway, my dad is hesitant to have her "drive" one of those.  Too
-> bad they don't make a 2 seater.

One for the driver, and one for the back seat driver.
 
->  RH> Definitely not.  Someone mentioned eating bat recently (off-line)
and
->  RH> I mentioned that I had some bat recipes around somewhere from the
->  RH> Seychelles. Never managed to find one to cook, although I wouldn't
->  RH> mind.
-> 
-> There are some parts of this country that have lots of bats.  But, I
-> don't think you're close to any and I don't think the bats are sold for
-> food.
-> 
We want the bats around to eat the bugs, especially mosquitos, instead of
eating them.
