Hi Ruth,

-> 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.

 RH> Were you watching it that whole time?  I hope not!

Pretty much so; it was our way of contact with the outside world. HI was
pretty solateted otherwise.

-> 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> I figure I can brew my own for the cost of the filters and Job Lot
 RH> coffee, most of which is pretty good and about half what the
 RH> supermarket charges. I can keep myself in caffeine for a month for
 RH> what it would cost to buy it out for about five days.

Sounds reasonable enough  You can even come up with your own fancy names
for them too. especially those drunk only at home.

-> 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> My old hard-wired smoke detector here in the house went off a few
 RH> times when I took a shower.


Now that could be a problem. (G)

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

 RH> I'd just peel the apple. :-)

Better option is to leave it on, better for you that way.


 RH> Cats are designed that way.  I used to use one of mine as a food
 RH> tester. If I had something questionable in the fridge, I'd offer a bit
 RH> to the cat. If he turned his nose up at people meat, it went into the
 RH> trash.


Sort of like coal mine canaries?

-> 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.

 RH> Brother.  They get two feet, I get stuff that melts when it hits.  No
 RH> fair! We got enough to cover the ground last night, but it didn't
 RH> stick past
 RH> 10AM.

 Saved you havig to go out and shovel tho.
