My mom liked those, but they don't last forever and they don't have screw tops -- you drop something with a snap-on lid and you make a significant addition to your swear jar if you have one. -- Cheers, Bev $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ "If you put the government in charge of the desert, there would be a sand shortage within ten years." -- M.

From: Wudsracer on 13 Dec 2009 08:05 Peter Pan creamy peanut butter is my favorite; eaten with a spoon. I like the "new straw" style WD40, at least now that someone showed me the "spray hole" in the assembly. For a while, I was afraid that I would lose the misting properties of my favorite tire lube.

I was outside just now, getting stuff under cover in the Here Comes The Rain Dance. Then it dawned on me. Sorting our hardware is a noble goal, sort of like world peace; we may not see it achieved in our lifetime, but that doesn't mean we can't try to make things better for our children. **************** Now it's raining, so I must move to my indoors mess, and maybe some ebay listing. Do you think LED Christmas lights will be more reliable? Don't get me going about CFLs.

A friend (4 years older than me) uses up women at the rate of about one a year. I think the break comes when he starts to repeat his stories. They're generally good, but not more then once. > It can be crude at the initial level. > Ignore sizes and just go nuts, bolts, wood screws, metal screws, > nails, other... > Then refine one of those piles by size or head shape or whatever. > This goes well with cocktails and mindless TV or music. ....Start on the front porch and work your way to the back of the garage. Turn around and start the 20-year cycle again... > The best way to get rid of stuff is to use it up. That means you have to fix stuff. I got tired of fixing stuff before my kids were born. Nobody told me how much fixing they'd require. >> > Skippy or Jif? >> >> Trader Joe's salted crunchy.

Plastic, screw top, 16 ounces. They're both the same, just different lid colors. Clear plastic half-gallon mayo jars are good, as are the big plastic containers of dry chopped onions from Sam's Club. I have lots. The problem, of course, is obvious. I also have a lot of nice dufflebags, most of which are stuffed with other dufflebags and computer bags and... I've gone back to checking TJ's dumpsters for plants. I scored a couple of orchids and some other stuff last week, and today I acquired five miniature calla lilies. The nice thing about rescued plants is that you fix them once and then they're on their own except for water during dry spells (9 months of the year). Life or death is up to them, and if they choose to die there's nothing I can do about it. Would that mechanical things were as graceful under pressure. -- Cheers, Bev ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day.
