C'mon over to the cooking echo - maybe we'll inspire you to expand your
menu. (See recipe below)
Eating out is a social occasion. I am an excellent cook - but unless I
am cooking to share with someone I prefer to hit the restaurants. Even
if my "social" interaction is limited to the wait staff and the cashier.
And, *no* clean-up. Bv)=

99 of 100 Legionnaires who have tried Camels prefer women. Bv)=

That's the difference between (mis) management and labour.

I'm fortunate in being what my croaker terms "well controlled". I only
poke my "signalling" finger once a week - and then only for my peace of
mind. Still have to take that blasted pill every morning, though.

DS> and Sue".
Kind of like his "feud" with Fred Allen. In life they were great
friends.
DD> Never been into B&D. To me "no pain" means no pain.

DS> days with other commitments, and he came back with "I didn't know that

DS> The ham radio operators use ITU (International Telecommunications
DS> Union) phonetics for their callsigns, to make it easier to understand.
DS> I tell fellow hams "to use ITU phonetics on nets, but have a set of
DS> alternate, cutesy phonetics handy...or these jokers will pick them for

DS> fellow ham said it stood for "Your Zipper Protruding". His reply was
DS> "Well Played, Sir".
Many letters are near homophones. In my job I often used phonetics to
give part numbers over the Alexander. B - C - D - E - G - P - T and V
all sound similar over a telephone headset. Phonetics takes the worry
out of transcription.
DS> The latter is the most important.
DD> That would be tough for me I've been going "commando" for at least the
DD> past 30 years. Bv)=
DS> I do that at night...as nature is a call you can't leave to the
DS> answering machine...and I don't want to have to rush to get the clothes
DS> off. My late wife had one cardinal rule: "Leave The Toilet Seat
DS> Down!!". I grew up with a brother, and didn't know that "women had to
DS> sit for everything, and it took them forever and a day to get ready".
DS> If I forgot that rule, my wife would spit at me like a mad
DS> kitty...nothing more needed to be said...I knew I was guilty.
Women never leave the seat up - and sometimes if I am operating under
extreme hydraulic pressure it's going to get wet. Too bad, so sad.
