Thanks to all who attended our SE Ohio Hotluck, it was great to finally meet
some CHs in person.  While Ohio may have lower numbers, it is my observation
that the interest, quality information, and general good nature of the Buckeye
state listers balances out the fact that we are but few...

Enough is enough on this Roy thing...I do think that most, if not all of us, can
consider ourselves among the neurotics, and leave it at that, if Roy is lurking,
disguised, and doesn't make further attacks, so be it..we don't need any more
paranoia although the humor that goes along with it is ok by me..

Valerie, my canary is called Saffron, so I'm having trouble visualizing it for a
dog.  The SO, who doesn't care for small dogs, suggested Wormwood (my one
wormwood plant is pretty annoying), so I countered with the end product of
wormwood, "Absinthe," or Abby for short. Or,why not just "Chile?"

Alex, on Odd Lots, we found that one in Columbus (Refugee Road) did the remodel
and cut down on their food section, but others, in particular the small town
ones, remain good sources.  We like the one in Circleville, Ohio as well as
Lancaster.  (I found an Aji pepper hot sauce from Ethiopia for .39 in
Circleville earlier this year.) I haven't been for awhile but Grove City's used
to be really excellent as well.  The big kids refuse to touch food from Odd
Lots, so we make a game of removing the price tags and putting them on things we
don't want them to eat....I'm not married but am a 'wicked stepmother' of sorts
(more neuroticism...)

I'm enjoying this immensely, but will soon be disconnected as my job comes to a
halt 10/1. As Ahnold says, "I'll be back," if things (new pc) fall into place
quickly, maybe I will barely be gone.  Just remember, that the new incarnation
shepherdesslc@netscape.net is NOT Roy (a wolf in sheep's clothing??)

Looking forward to seeing other heads at Campbells, I'm working hard on the SO
but may have to find another companion to bring...
