Hi Ruth,

->  RH> True.  OTOH, some of the ice skating has been seriously good this

-> So I've read. Still, school work trumps tv around here.

 RH> True (sigh).

Neccessary fact of life around here.  I'll take time to read the daily
paper but not have the tv on for hours on end. Closest to that I ever
did was when we got Food Network while in Savannah; Sunday nights after
church it went on at 8 & off about 11:15.  Also, Sept. 11, 01 it went on
about 3:20am, off about 11:30pm.  The next few days it went on a few
hours later but off at about the same time.


-> I've never had coffee from them.  Hot chocolate, once I think. Rachel
-> likes them but she's of that generation.  As you say, the price, tho, is
-> not on par with the goods.

 RH> I've had their hot chocolate. It's not as good as they think it is.
 RH> The black coffee at McDonald's is just as good as theirs and a lot
 RH> cheaper. Then again mine is as good as that, and even cheaper.


And I don't drink coffee so we just pay for what Steve wants.  Most of
the time it's at home so it's relatively inexpensive.


->  RH> There is that.  We used to do kraft mac-n-cheese in those hot pots.
->  RH> Worked nicely.

-> I never tried it.  Our dorms had basic kitchens, with actual pots you
-> could cook in.

 RH> Ours barely had working power outlets my freshman year.  Two blow
 RH> dryers on the same side of the hall could blow a fuse.


The first dorm I was in had some of the kitchens on the side that was
built into the hill.  Those would set off the smoke detector, usually
when the toaster was used.

->  RH> Possibly, but also any gunk that sticks to the skin
->  despite washing RH> them well first.  I generally never peel one when
->  I'm eating it, so RH> it's RH> probably just a texture/habit thing.

-> We've been wasing stuff like that with Citrus Magic Veggie Wash.  Does a
-> good job of getting rid of gunk and is good for the environment.  We
-> actually use a number of their products around the house.

 RH> I'm not sure if I've ever seen it. I used to get a different kind, but
 RH> was told tests proved it didn't actually do much.

Depends on what the alternative is.  If they used a chemical soup of
unnatural ingredients as a wash, I'd take the Citrus Magic.

-> Only time we got "fussed" at was when Jenny-cat had to have a lamb &
-> rice diet.  She actually pushed her food dish away & refused to eat. The
-> vet changed her mind about trying the diet.

 RH> The message came through loud and clear.  My two will eat real lamb,
 RH> but not the canned stuff.  Someone once told me that this no-filler
 RH> rabbit
 RH> flavored cat food would be gobbled by any cat that liked fresh rabbit.
 RH> Guess again.  She ate it, but wasn't thrilled; fortunately it was a
 RH> free sample bag.  I went back to Science Diet pretty quickly.

Cats can be picky eaters or eats anything type--go figure.

BTW, talked to my parents around 6pm; they had a couple of feet of
heavy, wet snow from the latest storm but still had their power.
