As children we used to wish on falling stars, but as adults we were told they were small meteorites. Now i ge*t these emails telling me about no cameras on west side of Mississippi River. So that means if they come for us no one will know but any one lucky enough to see it. Or if it hit some one or place. Right? An awful thought. Viola. *

My husband and I are together most of the time. He will go shopping alone, get his hair cut, etc. When I need to grocery shop he always goes with me. I would like to have a little time alone and just look. I always ask him if he needs something and recommend he go do his thing for a while. We are best friends and have been married 53 years as of Feb. 3. We are opposites in personality and this sometimes does cause little tiffs but we clear the air fast and go on about our business. I'm very happy with him and he seems to enjoy being with me. Sharon K. In a message dated 3/1/2011 2:11:16 P.M.

Hello Louise, Bentonite is a shale that is mined in Wyoming (mostly) ... it is sold as a powder, chips or flakes.. I intend to spread it in the bottom of our stock tank, which leaks... Bentonite, when it gets wet, swells to about twenty it's normal size, thus plugging any leaks... if comes in bulk, 50-pound bags or 1 1/2 tons bags, which is what I'll be buying. Hopefully three of them will do the trick for me.. :-)** On Tue, Mar 1, 2011 at 11:29 AM, Louise Valine <antique1931@saber.net>wrote: > Doug, what is bentonite?

Thank you for url for Aberdeen news paper. Now Would any one have this news paper with the article of snowmobile and van accident? Im told there was a picture concerning accident in paper few days ago. Thank you. Viola.

Did you ever see the cast iron pots made by Griswold, that had a space on the bottom about 1 inch thick; these spaces were part of the pot and the exact size to fit into the stove if you took the lid off the cookingtop. Was designed so that when you were cooking and stirring a hot pot of soup, it wouldn't move as it was "anchored" to the stove top.

I drink my coffee black with a bit of sweetener. I have a hint for those who stop at McDonalds, Starbucks, or some other such place. If you like your coffee hot and black, but find theirs just a bit TOO hot, grab a straw. Drink your coffee through that straw.

Oh how I remember fixing one's hair. I think the chaos or "leather" hair rollers were a modern rag roll. They were neatly stitched over a light wire. The hair section wound on them and the ends crimp over to hold in place, now the balding old woman would love to have the hair she once swore she would cut it all off. Right now it is in winter mode, half way down my back, but before surgery I will have it shortened as I don't care for hospital bed hair care. Besides what remains is a mousey mess. Still shedding like a sheep dog in June. And My Bald doctor say just wait! Bud. -----Original Message-----
