I was out tag saleing this morning, and had to put gloves on after a while. 
It wasn't all that cold, but the wind chill...arggh.

Forlorn hope. That stuff is as bad as real fur; it goes everywhere.

That sounds like a real job. I just finished a quilt tonight.  It's not
fancy, but it was a good size.  Thomas the Tank Engine fleece on the back,
and a pattern made more or less to look like railroad tracks on the front. 
It's going to a missionary who works in the financial part of his outfit's
headquarters. 
 
->  RH> I haven't done that in years.  In some cases, it had to get in at
the

-> 
-> I would have too.  We're getting our wheat thru a co-op now but other
-> grains are still from bulk bins at WFM. So far, no problems with them;
-> the store maintains a pretty high standard of cleanliness from what I've
-> observed.  I don't know what the storage area is like but out front is
-> really good.

Most of the organic places are.  
 
-> And it looks like we're not getting a COLA next year (again) that would
-> help pay for replacments.  So, keep the bugs out and the cost down.
-> 
I've always thought COLAs were great; the rest of us don't get them.

-> 
-> -> I like molasses but I also like not doing something that would stress
my

-> 
->  RH> Then ignore the lump stuff.  Hmmm... molasses crinkles... now I
want
->  RH> molasses cookies.  It's just as well I don't have any around.
-> 
-> I've got some, can you step outside and catch the bottle? (G)
-> 
The bottle I've got; the cookies I don't.
