Hi Ruth,

-> -> I like to put my feet up so right now I'm usually on the love seat,
-> -> sideways.

->  RH> I can't work that way.

-> Easy with a net book and lap desk (actually a cooling platform).

 RH> But with no keyboard...no thanks.  Touch screens and I hate each
 RH> other.

My net book has a keyboard; it's a bit smaller than a lap top size but
good for my smaller hands. I can reach across it one handed easier than
on a standard lap top. The screen is a 10" one too, quite readable.

-> -> Seemed like a good idea at the time sort of purchase?

->  RH> Yep.  I have lots of those!

-> I would if I could.................up to a point. Running out of roon
-> sort of limits how much I can acquire.

 RH> Same here; I just had more room!

That's why I'm getting e-books now. I picked up a paperback at the
Sharing Shop tonight but it'll go back after I read it. We also got a
loaf of bread, a pair of shorts for Steve and a bit of fabric for me.

->  RH> Good idea.  Might as well not trash them if you can find a way to
->  RH> reuse them.

-> But now he's working on cleaning out his railroad stuff so has to dig it
-> out of all those cabinets, etc. Wonder how many will actually get
-> recycled out of the house eventually and how many my brother will keep.
-> (G)

 RH> They might even take the cabinets.  Those old ones are often really
 RH> good quality.

Don't know, Mom wasn't working and Dad didn't earn a lot of money so
they got what was affordable on one income. They had 3 kids when they
started building the house, #4 came about a week after we moved in and
#5 19 months after #4. The kitchen was the most finished off room when
we moved in, and basically stayed that way for about 8 years until Mom
started working for the school.  It was finished completely, then other
rooms were done. it's also the one that's had the most extensive
"remodel" (The bathrooms have had a bit, but not to the extent of the
kitchen.), about 20 years after we moved in.

Catch you later,
