fredsmom: sorry typo-how was that writing activated-by heat?17:59
Rush: Like invisible ink.17:59
Rush: Or, lemon juice.17:59
Mike n Rachel in DC: Rush…that line has a double meaning!17:59
Mike n Rachel in DC: Yes Fredsmom…can write in lemon juice and it’s invisible until you heat the paper18:00
Rush: AH!18:00
fredsmom: but CC didn’t put lemon juice on it did he?18:00

Rush: I have never heard of it, but perhaps Shanghai wine is a popular export!18:19
Mrs Pendleton: You go first Charlie!!!18:19
