Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> probably pays to wait and let it grow larger... We ended up

 NB>  NB>> making it on what was coming in already...

 RH> We're making ends meet but not getting rich. The house payment is
 RH> actually just about what our rent was in the other place but we
 RH> rounded it up to pay more on the principle every month. But, we've no
 RH> car payment so the extra isn't missed.

 NB> Then it might make sense to let things grow a little longer on the
 NB> SS... If he's only 62, it makes really good sense to wait until he
 NB> gets the
 NB> full amount at 66... pushing it further might or might not...  :)

We're doing a bit of financial rejuggling to accomodate car payments
now. Traded our 09 Escape on a 16 model so we can tow a small (Casita)
mobile unit. The 09 Escape doesn't have enough "oomph" to tow anything
over 2000 lbs; we needed something a bit stronger.

 NB>  NB>> I asked, partly because I'd noticed that the Splenda for baking
 NB> used  NB>> sugar to make it work "better"...

 RH> I took a better look--it has maltodextrine in it. Still, something
 RH> like 18 grams of carbs per cup as compared to 96 or there abouts for
 RH> sugar makes it easier on my system.

 NB> Sounds like they aren't adding a lot of the maltodextrine, either,
 NB> then...  :)

No, just enough that it had to be added on the package labelling.

 NB>  NB>> And she might find, after all, that she doesn't want to get too
 NB> much  NB>> gluten for herself, too... ;)  And won't you need to still
 NB> have
 NB>  NB>> gluten-free for the baby...?

 RH> She's going easy on the gluten for herself, and making sure baby has
 RH> enough non gluten things to make her happy. Right now it's finger
 RH> foods that she can handle (g/f crackers, etc from home) plus mom or
 RH> dad feeding baby foods.

 NB> It won't be long before she'll be eating regular people foods... ;)
 NB> And you'll be back to making at least some things gluten-free to
 NB> accommodate her...  ;)

Wr'll see how that plays out in the future.

 NB> that  RH>> could be enjoyed by those with problems.
 NB>  NB>> It just wasn't thought about...

 RH> Maybe next year.................

 NB> Probably be back at our church next year...  but maybe by next time at
 NB> that church things might be different...  :)

Time will tell--you have almost another year yet.


 NB>  RH>> Yes, but kids, being kids, want cookies too.
 NB>  NB>> True.  :)

 RH> I can see a bit of how they feel now, as I try to restrict some of
 RH> what I eat.

 NB> Easier to commiserate, eh...?   ;)

Very much so.

 NB> others...  :)  And, as I  NB>> mentioned, we weren't expecting
 NB> refreshments exactly...  :)

 RH> I know, but g/f seems to be quite the issue now. Maybe next year
 RH> somebody will be alert to the fact that it needs to be addressed at
 RH> joint church services. Would your congregation host it next year
 RH> perhaps?

 NB> As I said above, quite likely... there's four churches that get
 NB> together, one of them doesn't have their own building, another does
 NB> but is currently without a pastor, and then us and the one that did
 NB> host
 NB> this year...  Meanwhile, at our church's annual Thanksgiving (regular
 NB> November second sunday) dinner, there were lots of non-gluten
 NB> alternatives, including a non-gluten apple pie that my sister made...
 NB> Tony was ecstatic over it... told her she'd hit a home run with that
 NB> one... ;)

Hit a home run for him, struck out for you.

 NB>  RH>> Word did get around the years we had lots of it, but it still
 NB> had  RH>> more than could be picked, even using a long picker pole &
 NB> basket.  NB>> Guess you needed more friends to pick... and people with
 NB> ladders and  NB>> cherry-pickers...  ;)

 RH> It still would have had an overabundance of avocadoes.

 NB> Then you should have sold them off to the grocery stores... (G)   I
 NB> guess they don't keep well long-term, unless processed into something
 NB> like guacamole, though....

Technically they belonged to the Army as the tree was on an Army post.
Even guacamole doesn't keep very long unless it's frozen or has
preservatives added.
