I got a pasta machine:)

I went out today, looking for the best consignment, thrift, and flea market
deals on clothes for the kids, and I ended up scoring a pasta machine! The
seller initially wanted ten bucks for it, and I had to pass, saying I could
really only spend 5 on that item. After she was done ringing up all of my
kids' clothes, she plopped the pasta machine down on the table and said
"Here's you can have it--it's yours. I've had it forever, and you're the
only person to ever even ask about one, so take it. You spent plenty on
clothing."

WOOHOO!

Oh, and Starlia--I still want to do those handles for you--even without
getting a pasta machine in the bargain--you've done plenty for me, so it's
the least I could do, methinks

A piece of lab apparatus named after the behaviorologist B F Skinner.
There's an urban legend that he raised his daughter in a box as an
experiment, and from that mistaken concept came the phrase for people who
aren't well-socialized that they'd been 'raised in a Skinner box'.

For an interesting read on Skinner, his daughter and the box try this:

OOOEEEOOO there sure is alot of serendipity and coincidence surrounding your PC
beginings. It's meant to be you know! I can see you comming across a torch at a
yard sale...

from within. It is there all the time. Anna Freud

I had a feeling it had to do with BF Skinner, but hadnt heard of that
rumored box. The actual contraption he did build for his daughter sounds
interesting, but weird.
Thanks for the explanation.
