Hi Dave,
DD> When I was younger I rented a P.O. Box at the main downtown ost
DD> office. for U$12/year. It was handy for getting mail I didn't want
DD> anyone of my nears & dears to see. Or didn't want some anonymous
DD> company to know my> physical address.
RH> That goes right into the recycle bag or shredder for us.
DD> I shred anything with my name on it. The rest goes into the recycle
DD> pile with the old news (as if) papers and magazines.
If it's sent with our name but obvious junk, it goes into recycle. If
it's got any sort of ID number, it gets shredded.
DD> 8<----- XXXXX ----->8
DD> I did that last night. I grabbed a can of Campbells and saw that it
DD> was their new-ish Cream of Mushroom with Chicken. So I got a can of
DD> chicken chunks that I had scored on a deep discount and a 4 oz can of
DD> mushroom stems & pieces. Used the liquid from the chicken and the
DD> 'shroms for my "thinner" and had a very tasty, filling supper.
RH> Sounds good--serve it over toast, rice, noodles or whatever. Also add
RH> canned or frozen veggie like peas, corn or green beans.
DD> It was good as was. I just ate it as a soup/stew and was satiated.
RH> T'was just an idea for another way to serve it.
DD> I get enough carbs from the main dish Bv)=
I'll have to suggest it to a friend who's a scout leader.
DD> 8<----- AGAIN ----->8
DD> I already have me "dream" home (if I hit the lottery) planned. Build
DD> my ultimate kitchen - then hang the rest of the "living" spaces off of
DD> that. Solar panels on the roof and a windmill generator in the yard.
DD> Than the thermal conditionig by heat pump.
RH> We'd probably bump out the back wall, make the kitchen and 2 "bedrooms"
RH> (computer room and sewingstudio) bigger.
DD> And I'd move to a less "busy" street. Fortunately my little crib is
DD> well insulated so I don't hear most of the traffic - except emergency
DD> vehicles on "angry" mode (lights & siren) or chirrun with their
DD> hot-rods pressing hard on the loud pedal - and inviting those lights
DD> and sirens to set off in pursuit. Bv)=
We hear the sirens off the main road a couple of blocks up but generally
don't hear the traffic on our street. There's a big Catholic church down
the road from that and when mass gets out (mass exodus) there's a lot
more traffic on the street but generally not heard inside the house.
