Hi Dave,
RH> They are doing well then. I didn`t work long enough to get full Social
RH> Security but, some`s better than none.
DD> By continuing to work and pay into SS my monthly cheque increases
DD> every year (more than the COLA bumps. Plus, I enjoy what I do so it`s
DD> not "work" just .......
I`m self employed so I can pick and choose my jobs. Not doing anything
right now because our AC not working right, current project is a flannel
shirt. Should have AC fixed Friday, then back to the sewing machine.
RH> Steve has mentioned cashing out an IRA to pay off the house but we`ve
RH> not done so yet. Soon getting to the point when we have to draw from it
RH> so we`ll probably use that for extra house payments. We`re paying extra
RH> on the principle every month so already have the mortgage about half
RH> paid.
DD> It`s a matter of mathematics. Which is why I don`t carry a balance on
DD> my credit cards. And it makes it easier to get a home equity loan. I
DD> needed one when I re-roofed the house, rebuilt the patio cover and had
DD> the tree removed that caused me to need to rebuild the cover.
We don`t carry a balance on our cards either. Couple of times when we
had big projects (house siding, new heating/cooling unit), a windfall
has come in at the same time to pay for it.
DD> 8<----- WHACK ----->8
RH> One time when we were at my parent`s house, my brothers were talking
RH> about how good Mrs. Stouffer`s lasagne is. Steve and I looked at each
RH> other with a "do they ever have lousy taste in food!" look. I guess it
RH> cmes naturally; my mom used to make lasagne with cottage cheese. I got
RH> my lasagne recipe from my Italian MIL. (G)
DD> It`s all in what you`re accustomed to, I suppose.
Probably so, but once I got my MIL`s recipe, I never looked at my mom`s.
Same as we said we`d make his mom`s sauce & meatballs and my mom`s meat
sauce, then decide which to keep making. Made his mom`s first, never
made my mom`s. (G)
DD> The Guineas around here used both ricotta and cottage cheese. And
once DD> in a while just small curd cottage cheese.
Guess it depends on what area of Italy you`re from.

Catch you later,
