    You might have noted that the last time one of your
    lines escaped I ignored it.
    It happens sometimes when I hit the F10 button on this computer. Instead
    of sending me to the tag line file and stoping, a random line will be
    chosen and I'll be sent to the next message in the queue. It happened a
    lot when I first got the computer but not so much recently. Probably did
    it because I'm still battling the crud.

    Just make sure it doesn't happen 2 F10.

    Nothing is ever perfectly perfect or perfectly smooth.
    No, despite our best attempts.

    Wedream of having things 2/10 perfect.

    It would have been interesting to sit in on the designing of
    that--how > big is your hand, dear? I want to make sure the keyboard
    is a good size > for you. (G)
    Not so far-fetched, but I'd guess that women may have
    had even greater input into the design, if they didn't
    do the whole thing themselves.
    Quite likely so.

    The piano at some point was at least largely a
    feminine pastime.

    I'll haave to ask Rachel what her son can reach--he's tall and thin. He's been playing the piano for about 10 years now; she's sent some clips from time to time. That kid is good!
    How old is he, and what sorts of things is he playing?
    He's 15, will be 16 at the end of November and we've heard him play a
    lot of classical. Can't give you exact names, don't recall right off.

    A lot of classical doesn't narrow down things that much.

    (yes, that really is a thing, though pretty fringey)
    Interesting; my hands are nowhere near the 8.5 inches. A size small glove is big on me.
    I'm distinctly a medium, because of the chubbiness
    of my palms.
    Not mine. (G)

    Your climate must be drier than I thought.
    It's the air conditioning--takes some of the humidity out of the air.

    Ah.

    It shouldn't take too long to get the lay of the land.
    No, not really.

    We'll find out ... you may find onion skins in the paper
    or paper in the onion skins.

    Reminds me of the old "Life" cereal commercials--you know the ones I mean. (G)
    Actually, I'd heard of the commercial but never have seen
    it in any of its incarnations.
    You didn't miss much.

    Not having watched a TV certainly this month I'm sure
    I missed nothing; and my habits haven't changed much
    in the 60+ years since being introduced to the appliance.

    Better to be pure than what some fast food places try to pass off as honey--mostly hfcs with water, caramel color and minute amount of
    real > honey.
    Well, in a lot of arenas pure beats impure. Elsewhere,
    not so much, and as DNA testing shows, purity is often
    just a pipe dream.
    Doesn't really matter for most things.

    Shouldn't matter except for the solution of crimes or
    the betterment of agriculture.

    Hi Michael,

    Just make sure it doesn't happen 2 F10.

    Trying not to let it happen, sometimes the computer won't co-operate
    tho.

    Nothing is ever perfectly perfect or perfectly smooth.
    No, despite our best attempts.

    Wedream of having things 2/10 perfect.

    That's what it usually ends up as, just a dream. But, better a dream
    than a nightmare.

    that--how > big is your hand, dear? I want to make sure the

    had even greater input into the design, if they didn't
    do the whole thing themselves.
    Quite likely so.

    The piano at some point was at least largely a
    feminine pastime.

    True, when I was growing up, it seemed more girls took lessons than
    boys. I didn't, because my parents didn't get a piano until my mid to
    late teens. Picked up some on my own, some help from a friend, but never
    could play much. I can read music, curtesy of elementary school music
    teachers but if someone say's it's in "key of.....", I have no idea what
    they mean. OTOH, if they say so many sharps or flats, I know what that
    means and can pick out a tune with the right number (and notes) of them.

    I'll haave to ask Rachel what her son can reach--he's tall
    and thin. > ML> > He's been playing the piano for about 10 years now; she's sent some > ML> > clips from time to time. That kid is good!

    A lot of classical doesn't narrow down things that much.

    No, but Steve gave you the name of the piece.

    It's the air conditioning--takes some of the humidity out of the
    air.

    Ah.

    That let the ginger dry out without our having to do anything with it.

    No, not really.

    We'll find out ... you may find onion skins in the paper
    or paper in the onion skins.

    The latter is OK, the town wouldn't pick up our recycling and leave a
    note as to why, if the former happens.

    I'm not that hooked on it that it's on a lot but it's off nore than it's
    on.

    Shouldn't matter except for the solution of crimes or

    Probably a few others as well but most things, not really.
