I enjoyed attending Girl scouts & my daughter went only two years, & she says she doesn't really remember much. She went to camp & remembers that she said recently! She was supposed to be going into 3rd grade, but her leader quit & there wasn't anyone to take over, so what do you do? You find something else I guess. I still chat to her scout leader, every once in a while, which is still nice to chat because she goes to our church still! Great Lynn, I figured there were at least a couple out there! I still have some cute pics of her at one of her ceremonies! My husband still says he wished I wouldn't have quit, but at the time I didn't have a choice! Still seems like yesterday though!

connie~ sand makes for better drainage, but i don't think it'll protect against mites...to get rid of the mites, try mixing a few drops of diswashing liquid (regular kind, not the stuff for dishwashers~it's too caustic) with water in a spray bottle and spray the plants with it...it should kill off the mites~if not, you might want to check with your local garden center for suggestions.... sue (in clear, very mild NE Florida) -- i believe i'm experiencing amnesia and deja vu at the same time~i think i've forgotten this before... -------------- Original message -------------- From: [email protected] > I use regular soil also.?

Oh my gosh. I had no idea, Mary & so cool if you think of it! Baskets used to be used allot more than nowadays. Cripes basket weaving is a lost art in itself.

Cathy, I think in this economy, the City is realizing it might just stop a lot of people from shopping, which would cut the tax base even further. I liken to it not having a shopping cart available at the market---nothing to put the groceries in, it will limit how much I can carry, limit how much I buy and limit how often I'll return to the store. We recycle the bags we get to a maximum, even putting a less than stellar bag inside another one in order to make it last longer, then putting in our recycling bin on trash day when it is no longer useful. A lot of places here stopped offering paper grocery bags with handles on them in order to push people to use plastic ones (or the cloth ones). Apparently, a number of folks have taken to asking for them to put a plastic one outside the paper one, in order to allow it to be carried, thereby, defeating the purpose of "saving a tree". I have complained loud and proud about the lack of paper bags with handles. I noticed today at the local market that they now have handled paper bags again. Yippie! Our local Trader Joe's has been offering all sorts of fun reuseable bags, encouraging folks to use them not only for shopping but other fun things. They run about 99c for basic cloth or oil-cloth type up to about $6 for a zippered insulated bag that keeps things warm or cold (not both at the same time). My problem is that I often forget to bring the bags in with me, but, I'm learning to remember!

Oh, you're funny, Lynn. My Swedish grandmother taught me to knit and I finally attempted my own sweater at about age 12; it actually fit!! Sewing machines and I do not get along, so in 8th grade Home Ec I talked my teacher into allowing me to knit a sweater. Reluctantly, she agreed but told me she couldn't help me if I needed to ask her anything. Mom couldn't help, either and Grammy was a few hundred miles away. I forget how any times I ripped rows out when I saw a mistake. It was a three-color horizontal striped cardigan - green, blue and small white stripe with a purl row in the middle for "style". I wore it for years! All the other needle arts I learned by following the directions. You do need a lot of patience, though!! -Linnea On Jan 26, 2009, at 1:59 PM, Lynn Vondran wrote: > God bless you all for being able to knit, and crochet these kinds > of things. > Remember, I admire anyone who can do this.

The bad thing about this is that most of the bags smell of the stores, so I would have to probably wash them 15 times beFORE I would even be able to use them, and might wind up not being able to even wash them, without having an attack. And if I don't have an attack, I still might not be able to use them, if I can't get the smells out. Such is my life with the smells. But, I will see if I can't spot some at the stores I CAN go into, and sniff them out, to make sure I should even go that route. I have a feeling we will have to go all paper bags. I think Darrenkamp's deducts 5 cents off your bill for each bag you use over again. But, I will look into the cotton bags. Hopefully I will be able to use them.

I'm sitting here half wondering how far out some of you live from town...then realize, I'm in Nor Cal, where we're on the cutting edge of a lot of things. Technology is a big one. The other is green living. Ergo, we have had reusable shopping bags for years. Nearly every little shop offers a reusable bag of some sort, most offer a discount, rebate, or offer of a drawing for a give-away if you use your own bags. The City of San Francisco has been threatening to have stores CHARGE 25c for EACH bag to put your purchases into. I would really dislike seeing the bill for a big shopping trip to the market! One day I came home with 20 bags---it would be $5, just to take home my groceries? Makes me want to not shop so much, at least in SF. Good news is I'm not there. We have been reusing the plastic or paper bags from stores for as long as I can recall. I used to watch my Grand-daddy fold up the bags after a shopping trip and store them in the closet. It amazed me, until I realized about non-renewable, or less-renewable resources. The one thing I can say is---I have never had a reusable bag break, tear, rip or split on me and they have hundreds of other uses---holding choir books....

Lynn- you would have been appreciated by my grandfather. Grandma would bake him raisin bread every Friday night and he would let it get stale so he could "dunk " it in his coffee. Now I remember I did like buttered toast dunked in cocoa. I also remember as a child, eating fried oysters on a saltine sandwich with dill pickle and mustard on it. I tried it as an adult and got sick. Now I get sick just thinking about it.- Linda in Vermont

It is from Watkins it is Petro-Carbo active ingredient Phenol [Carbolic Acid]. http://www.watkinsonline.com/peper/ My mom always made lemon cake and she got the pure lemon extract for the cake. She also got vanilla extract and made snow cream. It was always the second snow fall because the first snow fall was polluted and she got it on a car or shed. She said she did not want to go where an animal had been. My mom also made lemon cookies, they were my favorite plus I loved watching Tabbie dunking a cookie in her water bowl because the cookie melted. Tabbie was our pet raccoon and she looked every where for her cookie. Her mom got shot and my dad brought her home. Tabbie was about the size of an adults hand. My mom would start to sew and Tabbie would get in the sewing and make mom stop to pet her.
