 RH> My mom started that way but having 5 kids and Dad's job not paying a
 RH> whole lot, she changed gears aand became a working (outside the house)

Survival comes first!

 RH> GA, with a smooth top stove. Instruction/warranty book was in a
 RH> binder, with the rest of the appliances--smart idea--that was left when
 RH> we moved.

That is a good idea.  Probably something I should have done over the years,
we have a drawer filled with manuals in a file cabinet and we can never find
what we want, so I just end up using google to see if I can figure it out.

 RH> I've got a set of plastic (in addition to my metric measures) around
 RH> somewhere but it's missing the (IIRC) half cup. Not a big deal. Also

We're missing a few from the plastic set.  I'm not sure where they went.

 RH> have the less than common (2 tablespoon/teaspoon, 1 1/2 tablespoon,
 RH> pinch, smidgeon, packet of yeast [from King Arthur Flour] measures.
 RH> The cup measures range from 1/8 cup to one, including 2/3 and 3/4 cups.

That's handy!

Reminds me of my Mother before her mother passed away they spent time in
the kitchen so Mom could say to Granny "Okay give me a pinch." and then she
measured it.  "Give me a small handful" and measure. etc. LOL
So the family recipes now say "Big handful" - 1/2 cup or something like that.
Granny was good about writing them down just used her own hands as a
measuring device. LOL
