-> -> Highly unlikely now.  Even so, if they married women about their age,
-> -> the women would have to have children from a previous relatonship.
-> -> OTOH, if my brothers married younger women, there's the chance of
more
-> -> grand kids for my folks.
-> 
->  RH> It's been known to happen.  I've known plenty of people who did
just
->  RH> that.
-> 
-> 
-> I'm not holding my brreath that they will get married. Of the two, I'd
-> say my younger brother has the better chance but even still, it's a slim
-> chance.
-> 
Unless it's a fat chance, right?

-> -> That has been an appropriate term at times.  Got a package from Dakin
-> -> Farms of Vermont from my younger brother the other day.
-> 
->  RH> If he sends goodies, he's not a bother ... today at least.
-> 
-> No, some good eats that we decided to pop into the freezer & pantry
-> until we got back from our trip.
-> 
Stuff in the freezer for dinner when you got home?  Good brother.  NICE
brother.  We like this brother.  I could use one of those.
 
-> -> Progress!  More like regress at times.
-> 
->  RH> Or like Con-gress, as the old joke goes.
-> 
-> Old one but still relevent.
-> 
Alas, perhaps more now than ever.

-> them into something more my style but with the ethnic fabrics.  Soory,
-> -> I'm not a sari wearer, especially in the winter.
-> 
->  RH> Me neither.  I do have one Indian-style outfit, but it's Northern
->  RH> Indian, which means pants.
-> 
-> I wear pants most of the time as is.  Definately tomorrow for church
-> with this cold spell we're in the midst of.

Me too.  And ankle boots.  And a sweater set.

-> -> few weeks ago; one of the kids (12 year old) was having fun trying to
-> -> decypher the Russian.
-> 
->  RH> Russian language sweatshirt?  COOL!
-> 
-> It also has French, German & English on it.

The last unfortunately spoils the fun.  
 
-> -> Other than making your own.  Time for that can be a crunch; I cut out
-> 
->  RH> And I can't do that for turtlenecks anyway, not having a serger.
-> 
-> It's possible to make one without a serger.  The serger allows for free
-> time--cook something that takes more time for supper with the extra
-> time.

When I do something with felted cashmere I triple stitch it with a
conventional machine.  With a serger you only have to stitch once.
 
->  RH> I know the feeling.  I made a throw out of one of the really silky
->  RH> fuzzy fleece types once; I'm still finding fuzzies from that stuff.
-> 
-> So far, none have migrated to the kitchen area.  I'm trying to make sure

Just you wait; that'll change.

-> none are sticking to me when I have to work on meals; I don't want to
-> find any blue fuzzies in red sauce or yellow eggs.
-> 
Maybe not, but eventually?  Knowing that stuff, some will follow you.
 
-> -> Most of the tme, yes.  I do better ordering in Spanish.
-> 
->  RH> Unless you're in a Chinese restaurant, and maybe even then in some
->  RH> places.
-> 
-> Most of the time, the Chinese restaurants have an English menu.  Some
-> translations are a bit unusual but it just makes the anticipation of the
-> actual dish a bit higher.

That's what http://engrishfunny.com/ is for, right?   

->  RH> I don't think I've ever been to a smallish city that didn't have at
->  RH> least one Chinese place.
-> 
-> They do seem to be most everywhere.  I didn't really notice any in
-> Israel but they were probably there too.

Most likely; I've seen Kosher Chinese cookbooks.
 
->  RH> I know - I just got mine.  I don't use prefab cards all that often
->  RH> these days, so I don't have the problem of blending in.
-> 
-> We've done that format quite often over the last 10-15 years.  A Jewish
-> friend gets the letter but the card is usually separate, with a
-> different greeting.

Two different files then, rather than one big one.
 
-> shortbread
-> -> Whole wheat pastry flour and either a Kitchen Aid mixer or a
-> -> co-operative husband. (G)
-> 
->  RH> Now there's an idea!  I'd try the husband first; I'm never too
->  RH> sanguine about throwing a hands-only recipe into a mixer.
-> 
-> I'm doing it more and more with the KA.  I rarely used the mixer part of
-> the Kitchen Center, using a hand mixer or mixing by hand most of the
-> time. The KA gets used now instead of either the hand mixer or by hand
-> most of the time.
-> 
Hurts less.  I try to avoid power tools in the kitchen. 
 
-> ->  RH> I'll bet the worship team was ready for a nap after that one.
->  RH> ->
-> -> Most of us were.  I shut my eyes for a bit. (G)
-> 
->  RH> After the service, or during?(G)
-> 
-> After service and Life Group.
-> 
Some folks don't make it that far.
