439.0. "it shouldn't be a total loss..." by BTOVT::THIGPEN_S (who, me?) Fri Oct 12 1990 20:06

    I don't think she was the stereotypical Jewish Mother, but my mom has
    given me certain little ways of looking at things.  The one I have in
    mind right now is
    
    	"It shouldn't be a total loss..."

    I have a very dear friend who's 4'11" tall. She weighs 180lbs. While
    she's cooking for her family she'll pick and pick until the meatloaf

    drinking Diet Pepsi.
