Hi Ruth,

->  RH> My parents were both born in 1930; we used ketchup on fries. I

-> OTOH, my dad was born in 1922, mom in 1929.

 RH> Close enough for government work!

Mom says she brought on the Depression but her birthday is in January.
OTOH, Steve's dad's birthday is late October, 29 so it was just about
ready to crash when he was born.

->  RH> it was a personal taste thing, at least at some point.

-> Could very well have been but I'm pretty sure my parents did it as a
-> cost saver.  They said one of my cousins could go thru a (14oz size)
-> bottle of ketchup a day.

 RH> EYYYUCH.  I use about one bottle a year if my niece doesn't get into

We use more than that but I agree.  The hFCS free is better tho; try it
if you can find it.

-> Usually the least expensive they can find, most of the time the store
-> brand but I ate my share of Mueller's as a kid as well.

 RH> The house brand these days is usually better than Mueller's ever was.

I survived, but bought better once I was out of the house.

->  RH> There's a newer one in the house, but I never use it.

-> Your choice.  But by not using it, we hear your kvetching. (G)

 RH> True, but you also don't hear about the repeat surgery for the
 RH> incisional hernia I'd get/worsen moving the thing.   The newer one is
 RH> officially my mother's and lives in a closet.

She doesn't use it?  Get someone to get it out & set up so it can be
used.

-> -> I'll tackle another "cut out but that's as far as I've gotten"
 RH> project.

->  RH> I've got some of those.  More than one in fact.

-> Don't we all, in some form or another?

 RH> If we sew, definitely.

The way it looks, maybe this fall I can tackle some of them. Don't even
know now if I can get back to the scrap reduction work until mid July at
the earliest.

Catch you later,
