    Experimenting on foods.

    One of the staple hors d'oeurves my son's new high school serves at events (open houses, new family gatherings etc) is bacon (maple and sugary) wrapped water chestnuts. While I find them a bit odd they are indeed tasty. Those and the sirloin sliders seem to be their signature finger foods.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Goodness, thank you. Certainly it all makes sense.

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Yes-sir-ee-Bob! I wonder where that one came from?

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    You know that and I know that, though I'm pretty sure the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke did not use a propeller for its logo either. You're much too generous with your assessment. There is absolutely no doubt he was talking out of his ---.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Hear, Hear. I find that it's often not worth the bother to correct a seller who is woefully misinformed about an item they are selling. Well, actually, it depends on how badly I want the item. On a similar topic of know it all sellers, that's why shows like pawn stars are simply ridiculous. I...

    You, of course are correct in every way. Feel better now do you?

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I don't believe anybody ever said knowingly misrepresenting merchandise was right or defensible. Though I do believe it is, in fact, illegal. The seller doesn't always have nefarious motives. Barring obvious unscrupulous tactics, he's just trying to promote his items to get you to buy them...

    Nah, people just like to talk a good game. It's only natural. It just means you have to stay on your toes. After all "fool me once..." Somehow I find know-it-alls more insufferable. Heaven knows there are a few of them around here.

    Your Favorite Sandwiches?

    No, no, no, no, no, just salt and pepper, lots of pepper. There's too much damn cheese in this country. Everywhere you turn somebody wants to put cheese on something! Cheese may have its place but not on a tomato sandwich. And yes, grilled cheese and tomato (preferably with bacon) is something...

    Your Favorite Sandwiches?

    Tomatoes with mayo on toast.

    If only. My brother is prone to drama so will feel the need to confide all the illicit stupidity he has ever done. He's the middle child, black sheep of the family and came of age in the early 70s so that pretty much explains it all. It's impossible having a normal conversation with him.

    Annoyance du jour - Why is it when you spend any amount of time alone with certain people, they feel the need to confide in you and reveal all kinds of things you'd rather not hear or know about. I simply HATE that.

    Hear Hear!!! I have long been of the mind that pedestrians should have yield to vehicles if only for the fact that they are much more defensively maneuverable than a multi-thousand pound vehicle.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Being an SOB by nature, I have become ruthless when it comes to phone solicitations, such that I can usually get them to hang up on me. For local calls/organizations a "what was your name again?" will quite often do it, if not, "May I speak to your supervisor?" will. This works especially well...

    To beard or not to beard?

    I let my beard grow out every once in a while, and almost always over the Christmas break, but I never really consider keeping it, except for this year. I'm seriously thinking about it. I had to start at it early because I cut my chin and couldn't shave until it healed, so it's been a bit more...

    Thinly sliced (shaved) lean corned beef. It's inedible! Heaven forbid there should be the slightest bit of fat on it. We went to a new (for us) restaurant and I ordered the Corned beef and latkes. I nearly choked it was so dry and flavorless. I chopped up the leftover (which was most of it)...

    That's not the point. I just would expect there to be in interest in presenting less of a target for passing traffic.

    returning to petty annoyances, I must say that I've always been annoyed with the way motorcyclists will park their machines perpendicular to the curb. Kinda makes me want to tap the front wheel with my bumper as I drive by. Needless to say I exercise restraint on that matter.

    Isn't the colonoscopy entirely covered by whatever's left of AHC? That's what I was told at my last office visit. As for the meds, talk to the pharmacist. My issue is with the little tests that are done in the office that are paid out of pocket. My DR. actually got real huffy when I insisted he...
