Hi Ruth,

-> I haven't really priced jade but know it's not cheap. I own a few small
-> jade jewwlry pieces but they were gifts.  They're all pendant "drops" of
-> various small shapes.

 RH> The jewelry can be relatively inexpensive, depending on the quality of
 RH> the manufacture and the desirability of the jade type.  The big
 RH> carvings are always going to cost you.

It figures.  Most all of what I have can be carved from the chips of the
bigger carvings.

->  RH> Only a few tasters?  Oh well.

-> Some things I'd made before, some made just enough to portion out into
-> meals for my parents.  Found out when we got here that the larder was
-> running a bit low so it was good to do this.  I typed up some basic
-> instructions and made sure my dad saw them.  Mom wanted to use some of
-> the meals for when we're here but we told them that the food is for
-> after we leave.  Anyway, it's a good month's worth of main dishes, and

 RH> It's times like those when you really need another dog; they're great
 RH> food vacuums.  They might even eat gefilte fish.  I'm attending a
 RH> seder tomorrow night.  As for your dad, instructions are probably a
 RH> good idea.

Remember, we've got a no pets lease?  My dad said something about me
taking the cat if it were still around when they pass away; I had to
turn down the offer because of the no pets allowed.  I didn't tell him
my pulmonologist would have not liked it, had I taken the cat.  Anyway,
tonight Steve and I cooked a vegetarian fried rice and pork/broccoli
stir fry from the left overs in the fridge.  The only thing left from
that were some fried noodles (canned, commercial) and some rice that
will be made into rice pudding tomorrow.

Catch you later,
