Hi Ruth,

-> Seems like any specialised group has its own "language", some of it
-> printable, some not.

 RH> Seems to.  Some of it makes it into the mainstream.

Yes, aand years later, people wonder where that word came from.

-> even back to junior high. The cooking part of home ec. was a waste of
-> time for me as I already knew all that was taught. OTOH, if I'd had
-> better fabric, the sewing part would been more enjoyable and I might
-> have done more sewing earlier on.

 RH> Too true.  The cooking classes I got early on were pretty pitiful, and

We didn't make anything great in the cooking part--not like the
chocolate chip cookies the guys made in the first semester of Batchelor
Survival some years later.

 RH> the sewing was stuff I was already doing anyway.  The chem labs would

I couldn't use my mom's machine; she'd messed up the tension in a time
when you didn't mess with it. So, it was a hit or miss if it was going
to work and she didn't want us messing with the machine even more. All
my sewing prior to home ec was done by hand.

 RH> work
 RH> better now than then.

Chem lab was fun; we had 5 in my section. Since I'd had some prior
experience in some parts, any time there was a need for partners, I got

-> No, Joan Baez.

 RH> Ah - I couldn't think of her.  A friend taught me to throw a harmony
 RH> on just about anything Dylan ever wrote, but never touched her
 RH> material.

She had some pretty good stuff.

->  RH> I don't think anyone does.

-> Basically those that don't know what good seafood is think it's great.
-> They had an outlet in Honolulu and one in Savannah--couple of places
-> where good seafood was easy to get.

 RH> It's seafood for people raised in McDonald's.  I think I ate there
 RH> once. Once was enough.

Or if you're so far inland you can't get anything fresher.

->  RH> It wasn't necessary, and no one wanted to spend the money on a big
->  RH> repair job that wasn't really needed.  Besides, we were used to it.
->  RH> My dad didn't even notice the color.

-> Your dad had daughters, not sons. (G) But, don't you wish the repair had
-> been needed even a few years ago?

 RH> Yes and no.  Yes for aesthetic reasons and for financial reasons I
 RH> wish it hadn't been needed at all.

But it's a done, hopefully not to be redone in your lifetime, deal.
