============================
-> Hi Ruth,
-> 
-> -> Yes, aand years later, people wonder where that word came from.
-> 
->  RH> Snafu and fubar are classic examples, whose full origin I can't
type
->  RH> in a family echo.
-> 
-> I know, enough said on that. I saw, in the room where we're staying,
-> Rachel has a book of common idioms and their origins. Doubt I'd find
-> those in it as it's a Scholastic Press publication.
-> 
Most likely not - they only use the ones they can print in their entirety.

->  RH> I don't know why they didn't have us make great stuff, but the
peanut
->  RH> butter cookie recipe was good stuff.
-> 
-> I'd just as soon pass on them. We did muffins but I don't really recall
-> much other in baking. Second year we learned how to make a white sauce
-> and different ways to fix veggies, like broiling tomatoes. Those are the
-> only 2 ways I remember from the class tho.

We never even got that far.  I still don't "do" white sauces.  Then again
they're not one of my favorite things so there's little incentive.  
 
->  RH> I think I probably taught the others how to use the machines.(LOL) 
My
->  RH> grandmother started me using one when I was about nine.
-> 
-> My maternal grandmother didn't sew and my paternal one (who did) was
-> dead before I was born.
-> 
My paternal grandmother could sew, but she died just before I turned three.  
 
->  RH> That would have made it less fun for me.  The bio class I had was
fun;
->  RH> we only had a dozen people.  What wasn't fun ... the teacher in the
->  RH> class died of leukemia a few years later.
-> 
-> That wasn't so good. My teacher (had her for earth science, bio and
-> chem) passed away a few years ago.
-> 
In this case, all of the parents were still in town, and I got the detail
of letting everyone know.  I was in town for winter break at the time and
got to the calling hours.  
 
->  RH> Then you're better off with frozen fish.  I get that too sometimes,
->  RH> since some of what's in the fresh case was previously frozen
anyway.
-> 
-> And, we're trying to figure out when we can head down to the coast with
-> an empty ice chest.

Or just empty stomachs?
 
-> ->  RH> wish it hadn't been needed at all.
-> 
-> -> But it's a done, hopefully not to be redone in your lifetime, deal.
-> 
->  RH> True, but the shower pan in the other bathroom is next; we replaced
->  RH> the toilet and sink in there too.
-> 
-> Always something that needs repair or replacing when you're a home owner
-> (or a renter that likes to keep things looking decent without having to
-> go thru the property management office). Our landlord lets Steve fix
-> what he can or install things (like storm doors) that will save money in
-> the long run.

Good idea, as long as the renter is handy.
