MARCH 6 2016
HAPPY  (SOLD OUT) SHATTING  DAY..  BLESS ALL YOU WHO KEEP US GOING.
I HAVE HAD SEVERAL  REQUESTS FOR LARGE CAPS FOR EASY READING..   ( AGING POPULATION I GUESS...)
SPEAKING OF EXTRA THINGS THAT  TEND TO HANG AROUND....  A YEAR OR SO AGO  I ASKED PEOPLE TO SEND THEIR  UNUSED EYEGLASSES/  DON'T GO BUY ANY.. .... IF YOU HAVE OLD UNUSED THAT YU DON'T EVEN NEED AS AN EXTRA PAIR  IN THE CAR... WE COULD USE THEM... WE NEED A REFIL...OUR EYEGLASSES BASKET IS GETTING LOW.

FOR THE NEW COMMERS--- THE EYEGALSS BASKET ON THE FIREPLACE IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT ONE DAY A VERY "WELL HEELED" MAN WAS HERE-- AND THOUGHT OF WRITING US A DONATION, BUT "COULDN'T"  BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE  HIS EYEGLASSES.. 
 WELLLLLLL I DON'T WANT TO GET CAUGHT IN THAT SITUATION AGAIN... SO WE HAVE A GOOD SIZE BASKET OF ALL VARIETIES...  AND PEOPLE USE THEM.. AND OBVIOUSLY SOMETIMES TAKE THEM- SO THEY ARE USED...
****
I REMNEMBER BEING IN A RESTAURANT IN CORNWALL NEW YORK WHICH HAD A BASKET OF GLASSES - SO WHENEVER THEY SAW SOMEONE STRUGGLING TO READ THE MENU, 
TH E WAITRESS WOULD COME ALONG WITH THAT BASKET....
*******
NOW ADDRESSING THE WORD  "HAVE"   AND IT'S OVERUSE...
I HAVE A FRIEND--- ANN  G --- WHO GETS ON MY CASE ABOUT UNNECESSARY WORDS
LIKE THE WAY I STARTED THIS DD  "I HAVE HAD"   ( 2 BITS SHE EMAILS ME ABOUT  IT, I SHOULD HAVE SAID  "I HAD")-- WELL AT LEAST I GOT THE   HAVE  SPELLED RIGHT.
*****
I have DECIDED  IN MY EFFORT TO BE KIND TO FIREMEN, I SHOULD LOOSE 20 POUNDS IN CASE THEY SHOULD EVER HAVE TO CARRY ME OUT OF SOMEPLACE....

I AM TOLD DIETING IS EASIER IF YOU  USE SPICES TO ENLIVEN THE MEALS.-- YOU ALL KNOW WE ARE ON THE  " DUMP DINNER"  COOK BOOK FOR SUPPERS..... BUT I ALWAYS LIKED MUCH OF THE INDIAN SEASONINGS-- NOT THE HOT CURRY, BUT THE  MORE WELL BEHAVED ONES...CUMIN.. CORIANDER..TUMERIC...ETC..

 IN THE PROCESS..... I REMEMBER AN INDIAN RESTAURANT I USED TO FREQUENT-- AND THE DESERT HAD THE MOST PEQUILIAR "AIR" ABOUT IT..  INTOXICATIONG REALLY  - I PURCHASED DOZENS OF TYPES OF ROSEWATER  TRYING TO FIND IT.. NOW THIS BOOK MENTIONS ADDING ONE DROP OF KEWRA ESSENCE    TO A DESERT.. THAT MUST BE IT...  SO I HAVE ORDERED SOME..
 MAYBE THAT IS WHAT I AM SEEKING (FOR 35 YEARS? )
I CAN ONLY EQUATE IT TO CATNIP FOR A CAT-- SO IF YOU SEE ME ROLLIING AROUND ON THE FLOOR WITH A TINY BOTTLE OF SOMETHING... YOU WILL UNDERSTAND.
******
HOPEFULLY... :)
