 RHf> creeper was worth the sale. I found a bracelet I'll re-do as a
 RHf> necklace--like the stones but prefer necklaces to bracelets.

That last was a net gain of $.60 even if you couldn't get anything for
the purse later...

 RHf> IIRC, it came out when we didn't have much money for extras like

 RHf> price, etc and from the clips I saw, it just wasn't the kind of
 RHf> movie we would have enjoyed anyway. OTOH, I did convice Steve to

 RHn> Now of course you can borrow it from a library for free, if desired.

My sister and I saw the whole thing (GWTW) once... we stopped into the
movie house where it was showing on the way home from school... we
walked by that movie house every day...   We might have warned Mommy
that we were planning to do that, I don't remember any more now... 
Afterwards, still on our way home, we checked out the book from the
library and read that straight through...

 RHn> Pretty much.  I'm eating mostly real food now, but things did get 
 RHn> infected. Joyful - especially when antibiotics are not your friends.

Good that it cleared up again.... no fun at all....
