Ärende: weighing in on bags
===========================
->  RH> I had ten kids, total.  They each got two to three pieces of candy.
->  RH> When asked they all went for the AirHeads instead of chocolate. 
Fine
->  RH> by me! Blue raspberry candy apparently is a hit.  The younger kids
->  RH> especially lit up when I mentioned those things.
-> 
-> We just handed out little bags with a couple of pieces of candy in each
-> one.  It was all mini bars of 3 Musketeers, Milky Way, KitKat, Snickers,
-> etc.  The ones I got earlier in the week at W-M with the coupons.
-> 
I think I should have come to your house!  

->  RH> That's why I use a lot of hand tools.
-> 
-> I've got a lot of fancy ones to help, thanks to Steve.  We aren't using
-> the bread machine much any more but do like it for pizza dough.  When we
-> can make 2 loaves with almost the same amount of (non)work in the KA as
-> one in the ABM, it's an easy choice.

I agree. I don't own a bread machine, and the KA stays in a cupboard unless
I'm making something really big.  I'm not sure about the future but for now
my bread machine is two hands and a big bowl.
 
->  RH> True, but the OED is still cool.  I'm trying to pare down my book
->  RH> stash too.
-> 
-> To make room for it?  I presume it's out on CD-rom but that's not as
-> easy to curl up with.

Considering that it cost over $1000 fifteen years ago, not likely.  I just
have way too much stuff, and books I don't read and don't use ought to go.
 
-> -> BTDTGTTS.
-> 
->  RH> Hmmm - I assume that's text-speak for something....
-> 
-> Been There Done That Got The T Shirt

AHA.  Useful one.  
 
-> -> Fun to get finds like that--and the diamond ring I got for the same
-> -> price at a yard sale in Savannah.  Perfect fit too.
-> 
->  RH> That's my price point - cheap!
-> 
-> I wasn't expecting that price but didn't argue.  The young lady said
-> "just as long as my father doesn't find out you have it".  She was a
-> SCAD student so the chances of my ever meeting her father, especially
-> since I would be leaving the area about a year later are pretty slim.
-> 
She must have hated that ring, or the person who gave it to her.  
 
->  RH> I have plenty of oddballs handing around, but I think this is the
->  RH> oldest one.  As far as I know they haven't done those pulpit books
by
->  RH> hand since the early 18th century.
-> 
-> We don't have anything like that but we do have some odd things.  Some
-> are typical of the wanderings of a military family, some are family
-> heirlooms, some is just "stuff" we've picked up here & there.
-> 
Stuff can be fun.  I picked up a pin yesterday that I'm researching.  It's
made from a real coin from 1745, an Austrian 1/4 Thaler.  I'm trying to
figure out how old the rest of it is and where it was made.  I paid too
much, $20, but it was too cool to leave behind.
