====================
-> -> before I grab any.  Did see a box of it in WFM last time we went;
they'd
-> -> had the Original w/ artificial flavors before.
-> 
->  RH> I'm surprised; normally they don't let the fake through the door. 
It
-> 
-> Well, they do let white flour in so they do make certain exceptions. I
-> was with Rachel in Las Vegas at a WFM when I found the box of tea with
-> artificial flavors.  She and David like it too.
-> 
Ahhh, but it's organic white flour.
 
->  RH> pops this summer. It was so hot, I'd shove one down the back of my
->  RH> shirt until it melted enough to eat.
-> 
-> Probably didn't take long to melt; those things are basically colored
-> sugar water, frozen.

Colored water with HFCS.  They also make fairly decent ice packs.  
 
-> -> Which we get from the farmer's market, a relatively local brand.
-> 
->  RH> Good idea.  That's usually better anyway.
-> 
-> Yes, the local bees use local flowers which helps build up a bit of
-> immunity to their pollens.  Helps in my case, some more susceptable
-> folks may have a bad reaction tho.

Only if it's raw honey.  Once it's pasteurized it's no different from the
normal stuff.  
 
->  RH> Just as well.  I only buy them when they're on sale and I have a
fat
->  RH> coupon.
-> 
-> I don't think I'd take it if it were free.

Some things I buy if they're free and donate them.  
 
-> -> This is a building given to us by a congregation that disbanded. 
Part
-> -> of the building was built in the 50s, the addition in the 70s.  Town
of
-> 
->  RH> One guess - decoration done in the 80s?
-> 
-> No, but not very modern. A garish mural in back of the baptistry
-> (supposed to be the Jordan River) was painted over rather quickly tho.
-> (G)

Good idea.  Paint by number?  
 
-> We did the sanctuary/classorooms in Sierra Vista that way.  The
-> education wing of the original building was done the same way, same
-> congreagtion member as construction foreman.  Retired from his regular
-> job by the time the 2nd project was done.  We had folks in from all over
-> the country helping on the sanctuary project--we fed them noon meal
-> and a light supper. One group, from TX, really liked my chili (with
-> beans) and wanted the recipe.

New York State Chili ... headed to Texas.  That sounds a bit odd.  
 
->  RH> True, but I've dealt with my share of pesky stubborn men.
-> 
-> He's not pesky, but he is stubborn at times. (G) He did the hand wash
-> dishes (all 2 of them) and cleaned the frying pan (we had fajitas) after
-> supper while I cleaned some other areas of the kitchen.  He even cooked
-> the fajitas after I cut up the pepper and onion.  Had some smoked
-> cheddar on them--that tasted good!
-> 
Sounds good to me too.  A man who cooks is a good thing.
 
-> -> just gotten them so no chance to chill them.  We used up that chunk
of
-> -> pastrami yesterday; the pickles were chilled & much better.
-> 
->  RH> Even better when they're sold cold, minimally processed if at all. 
I
->  RH> can get the real ones here.
-> 
-> We got Vlasic--OK, but probably not greatest but........

Nowhere near the real Kosher deli pickles.  
 
->  RH> I've never heard it, but did pick up a ton of New York stuff once
out
->  RH> in Storrs, CT once.  FM, no less.  Television too.
-> 
-> WABC & Cousin Brucie?  My folks used to get WINE out of somewhere in CT
-> on their FM years ago. No cheese with it tho.

My roomate really wanted to listen to a station that broadcast from the
Empire State Building.  No clue which it was.  Pop music.
 
-> -> Doubt it; its been in NY for 24 years.  That means salt on the roads
-> -> which tears up a car in nothing flat.  A 5 year old car, unless well
-> 
->  RH> It's been known to happen, but the old cars have to get moved out
of
->  RH> state. My last car died at the age of 17, so they can last if
->  RH> maintained.  I
->  RH> didn't wash it all that often either.
-> 
-> TLC helps them go a long way. Our van lasted for 14 years, could have
-> gone longer but the cost of fixing the AC was about equal to the value
-> of the car.  It was an old freon system, I think, converted.

The A/C in my mom's minivan is dead too, but she's not about to have it
fixed.  It's a 2001.
