Hi Ruth,

->  RH> Good idea.  I tend to dump them in the church office.  Gotta keep
 RH> the
->  RH> staff happy.

-> We don't have a church office per se. I just have to keep the house
-> muncher happy. Other than the fabric, the best thing we bought on this
-> trip was the assortment of Rada cutlery. Our knife block has only a few
-> of the cheap knives in it now, plus the Swiss (Victorinox) ones and a
-> good selection of Rada knives.

 RH> I don't know Rada, but you have to cut with something.

Check out Rada on line. They're made in the USA. Steve said they've got
quite a bit of stuff on their web site. We thought we'd grabbed a pizza
cutter (Ours is the one Steve had before we got married so it's pushing
39 years old.) but got home & found we hadn't. Next trip to PA unless we
do an on line order.


->  RH> I just don't open them, unless I plan to eat a lot of them.

-> I plan on not eating a lot. Helps in other ways too, went shopping for
-> some slacks today to replace the ones that were a couple of sizes too
-> big for me. Picked up a couple pairs in a size I thought I'd never fit
-> into again.

 RH> That's a good feeling, I'll bet.  With chips, if I'm in the mood it's
 RH> generally hormonally driven.  Planning doesn't always come into it.

I don't have that to worry about. Grabbed some slacks today I'd bought
about 5 months ago, found I had to use a safety pin to keep them up (no
belt loops). I will probably add a length of elastic to the waist,
easiest way to snug them up (open up the seam a bit, run the elastic and
sew it down).


->  RH> At least she was snowed in at the hospital instead of at home.  My
->  RH> cousins in Virginia may get a foot out of the storm blowing through
->  RH> tomorrow.

-> We had rain and wind, still quite windy out. After the storm in 1980
-> Steve walked out to the grocery store (with a list) and ended up not
-> getting some of the more important items on the list. So, he went out
-> again. Both times he came back with some non list items as well. (G)

 RH> Well duh.(LOL)  We got some wind, and snow, but other parts of the
 RH> state got
 RH> bombed again.

I've seen, and heard that there's another storm out west headed east. I
presume you're stocked on grocery basics since you've not needed them
yet; you're going to be clobbered by a storm sooner or later. (G)

->  RH> I love doing that.  We did it with a missions group in the
 RH> Dominican
->  RH> on Sunday.  The connection wasn't great unfortunately.  Even so, it

-> We do it with our daughters and parents quite often. One of the churches
-> we visited in Las Vegas Skyped a connection to their choir who were in
-> Israel the Sunday we visited.

 RH> It's a lot of fun doing that.

Helps our grandkids know who's walking in when we come to visit.



->  RH> Or three.  The longer skinnier ones are good for around the neck.
 RH> ->
-> He's declined any for right now, says the heating pad works well for it.
 RH> ->
 RH> That it would.

-> -> True, Steve used the heating pad yesterday & said it felt good. Had a
-> -> therapy session this morning and I think it helped some.

->  RH> Those can make things even sorer for a while but should help down
 RH> the road.

 RH>  Time will tell.

> RH> Tell him a  tub of stinkin' hot water is his friend too.  It works
on RH> herniated discs and labor pain, after all.

I can only tell him so much; he has to make the decision as to what he
wants to use (or not use).


-> -> We've got some older towels that could be used for a good sized
 RH> cover.
-> -> Just have to get several pounds of rice.
 RH> ->
->  RH> I tend to use feed corn these days, but it's easier to get the rice
->  RH> here. You can use barley too, if available.
 RH> ->
-> Available but rice is cheaper.
 RH> ->
 RH> True. I like the barley better than the rice though.

Cheap white rice is the way to go.
