-> -> And you have a big old house to rattle around in.  Did you take over
-> -> your dad's office area?
-> 
->  RH> Big?  Try 1960 ranch house.  It's not all that big, and this spot
has
->  RH> always been more my office than it ever was his.
-> 
-> Bigger than what we have; you have a basement and attic.  We've got
-> about 1000sf on one level.
-> 
It's more like 1500, but with an unfinished basement.  The attic doesn't do
much good these days; the central air system is up there.

-> -> holes and painted over the patchs before moving out, no major repaint
-> 
->  RH> Just as well.  It will have to be done eventually, but we hope not
on
->  RH> your dime.
-> 
-> Hopefully not.  We're trying to keep things as good or better than when
-> we moved in condition.  We replaced the stove drip pans but cleaned up
-> the old (probably new, but on when we moved in) to put on the stove
-> before we move out. That, and a bunch of other small improvement stuff.

Can't hurt to leave things in better shape than you found them in.
 
->  RH> If you can access it.
-> 
-> Steve can, even gets paid for travel to the hospital in Durham.

Cool.  Getting your mileage paid; I wish someone would do that for me!
 
->  RH> That's why God invented crock pots.
-> 
-> It'll be used tomorrow for some bbq beef ribs.

I just threw a no-recipe meat loaf into the oven.  We'll see if it tastes
like food in about an hour.
  
->  RH> Too true.  We're sending down nuts and dried fruit; apparently they
->  RH> can't get those. Fresh mangoes and papaya however more than make up
->  RH> for the lack, I think.
-> 
-> Yes, we enjoyed them in HI and bemoan the lack thereof on the mainland.
-> (G)

I can get mangoes here, but only those Tommy Atkins things.  The papayas
usually aren't worth looking at.
 
->  RH> That's only if you don't want it to shrink.
-> 
-> I don't want a skirt or jacket that has hours of work in it to shrink; I
-> want to wear it!  Same with the full length lined wool cape I made about
-> 35 years ago.

Hmmm, I suppose. :-)  Sweaters for crafting on the other hand should shrink
away.
 
-> -> No strays around here that I know of.
-> 
->  RH> Darn.
-> 
-> Cats, that is.  I can always find a stray college or seminary student,
-> especially at church.

Those are everywhere.  They're more common than stray cats here too.
 
-> -> An age group that appreciates cheesecake but needs to watch the
-> -> cholesterol.
-> 
->  RH> Seems to be true.  It's a grown-up food.
-> 
-> Yes, and I have to watch LDLs so I can't have too much of it.  I miss
-> the ones we had in Germany; they weren't quite as sweet but they were
-> really good.
-> 
What did they make them with?  Farmer cheese?
 
->  RH> They're made for Weight Watchers so the fat and calorie counts
can't
->  RH> be bad.  The sodium on the other hand may well be far over the
line.
->  RH> I didn't bother with the stuff so never checked.
-> 
-> I'd pick it up to look at how horrendous the levels of various things
-> were; then I'd put it right back where it came from and walk off,
-> shuddering.

I've done that often enough.  If the salt is over a certain level, it goes
back on the shelf without a second thought.
