-> ->  RH> And it doesn't hurt to have someone keeping the bench warm.
-> 
-> -> Always lots of folks wanting to do that.
-> 
->  RH> You get a letter whether you play much or not.
-> 
-> And the prestige if you're on a D-1 team. They do have some players that
-> are bench warmers but usually called "red shirters".
-> 
A red shirt is different.  That's someone preserving a year of eligibility 
when they can't play due to injury, illness or grades.  

-> -> The only heir(ess) on both sides of the family? Today I wore a
pendant
-> 
->  RH> Our side anyway.  I don't have kids, naturally, and Dad was an only
->  RH> child. No other claimants.
-> 
-> Is she developing any sort of cooking skills like her dad and aunt?
-> 
Seems to be.  Mom's not bad either when she's home.  She prefers a tool box 
to a toy box, so cooking implements wouldn't be much of a stretch.
 
->  RH> Most of mine never will be either, but you can't beat free.
-> 
-> Nope, but it did cost me a bit for a chain.

I've done OK on those too, but you have to keep your eyes peeled.  I've 
picked up brand new in box sterling ones for $5 a few times.  You can't buy 
a new clasp for that.
 
->  RH> Sugar-free chocolate would be.  Unsweetened baking chocolate? The
->  RH> Baker's stuff is right out; they kept the price the same and cut
the
->  RH> package in half.  Sayonara, Baker's.
-> 
-> I like a bit of sweetness in my chocolate, not totally sugar free.
-> Sounds like Baker's did an extreme version of what a lot of companies
-> are doing--reducing the content but keeping the price the same. Grocery
-> store robbery!
-> 
Yep.  Even graham crackers are now in a 14 ounce box.

->  RH> I had that happen to me once. They were supposed to send an
uncoated
->  RH> baking pan.  First, they pan the sent went to the wrong address.  
Then
->  RH> they
->  RH> reshipped the pan to me.  Then the original pan turned up, and it 
was
->  RH> nonstick.  It got shipped back.  I think technically I could have 
kept
->  RH> it, but even if it had felt OK morally who'd want it?
-> 
-> Right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing? I know, we've had
-> those "techinically I could have but.................." times too.

Got a quilting book a similar way once too.  I hadn't even ordered
anything, 
but Barnes & Noble sent me a quilting book anyway.  I could have just kept 
it, being unsolicited merch, but requested an RA anyway.  It must have been 
an expensive book because they sent one.
 
-> -> Misery loves company. (G)
-> 
->  RH> When it rains it pours, and when it rains it kicks the tinnitus up
->  RH> too. :-) Figures.
-> 
-> No fun times.

Epecially since it's now raining on top of everything.  
 
->  RH> There has to be enough wild yeast to make it work.  Around here,
not
->  RH> so much. The sourdough I made from commercial yeast left to grow
->  RH> wasn't very good.
-> 
-> We kept one going for some years before Steve went into the Army, dried
-> it for a few months, reconstituted it in CA, dried it for a few more
-> months and then revived it when we got to Fort Hood. Gave it away a
-> couple of years later when we moved to Germany. Had a few shorter term
-> ones off and on since then but none currently.

I gave up years ago.  The starters I can start here just don't taste good.
