Meh. It doesn't seem to do anything good or bad to the tea or the butter. Both just taste sort of blah.
-
For cold days, hot tomato soup and some teas. Also OSEM chicken consomme soup and seasoning mix (it's kosher and tastes marvelous). Beef consomme soup just because it tastes good. Nor recommended for Ovaltine. It takes on a "rough" taste. Doesn't go well with some teas, but works with Chinese green tea and isn't bad with English breakfast tea. It just dawned on me that it might be good in chamomile tea. I'll have to try it tomorrow morning.

And you know that how? How did it taste?

Three ways to keep butter in my house: 1. Frozen. 2. Refrigerated to thaw. 3. In a covered container on the counter top. This moves ahead a step every two or three days because I LIKE BUTTER (Kerry Gold salted gets the most coverage.) and use it in or on almost everything but cold cereal and and most drinks.

I was young once, but I wasn't very good at it. I was good at somethings but none worth mentioning.

older brother. He's somewhere out there, hiding from the law or one of his ex-wives or bill collectors or some offended boyfriends or husbands of a girlfriend or several, of someone he cheated at cards or some other way....lots of other possibilities to boggle the mind. Have you ever seen a mind being boggled? It's horribly gruesome sight but you can't pull you eyes away. BTW, have you ever had, or seen, an eye being pulled away? Scuseme. I had way too much coffee for breakfast

As if they could build one of those in time to use it and manage to hide that mess from the tankers.

Let's see now: No modern technology No modern materials No artificial materials No computer designs No computers No electrical miracle parts No microchips No so-called safety equipment No rude or aggressive driving No breakdowns, wrecks, etc Just tons of fun driving great cars that are older than anyone reading this. I miss the good old days, even though I wasn't alive for most of those time....and wipe that grin of your kisser.

Me too. Haven't been in a theater for about five years and that was against my better judgement.....but some friends invited me and I just couldn't turn them down. I don't like crowds, rude and totally inconsiderate people, people talking throughout the movie, way too cold air conditioning, the price of food and drinks and lousy choices available, having to drive (especially at night), not being able to stop the movie to go to the head or fridge, strange smells, no dogs allowed to watch with me and be petted, not able to back up or skip forward or pause or change channels, (or just shut it off and go away), no control over the volume, not being able to play with my guns or doing word-find puzzles, trash on the sticky floors, not having my phone available, stupid advertisements in some theaters, most people's choice of artificial scents wafting all over the place, uncomfortable seats, babies crying, being trapped in a germ-infested environment, having to wear outdoors clothes inside in bad weather, having my back to empty spaces, strange smells, having to pay good money to be in such an uncomfortble environment at all, etdamnedcetera. At home I can watch whatever I've checked out of my local library for free or whatever is on Prime and not have to be infected by any of the things mentioned above. I'm happy the way I am and how I choose to live.....so there!

Hell, guys, I'm a Marine. All I'm afraid of is rust and left wing politicians...and The Incredibles.

Send him around. He doesn't frighten me. The only "super heroes" that do are The Incredibles.

Some of them are human citizens who live in the Outback or on beaches.

We can get about six states out of Australia....but do we really want to? Thay are all poisonous

I can relate to the materials they used to "get the words out". I got "Shanghaied" into teaching conversational English to local civilians in Hiroshima. My First Lieutenant found out I had been a grade school teacher before joining the Marines. He was dating a young lady and been trying to teach her English and asked me to help find materials. I told him if he could find some help we could gather what we needed. We recruited four more instructors and the lieutenant posted notices everywhere he could think of. A Brigadier General got wind of it and helped spread the word and gather materials. We ended up with magazines, newspapers (someone donated a two year prescription of ten copes per week of Better Homes and gardens. The women in the class loved those.), comic books, used books from libraries, barber shops, waiting rooms, etc. Someone gave us a set of World Book Encyclopedias. We had instructional manuals, greeting cards. and packing slips....you name it. Stuff soon began pouring in from all over. Mark Twain was very popular as were many western writes. The Japanese men compared cowboys to Samurai for some reason. The Red Cross and Christian Ladies Traveling Library Service all joined in and a number of American and Japanese groups as well. It wasn't what anyone would call orthodox or even reasonable, certainly not professional, but in eleven months we taught about eighty Japanese enough English to get by and three young ladies were hired by Komatsu Tractor Co. to work on their international switchboard. One young man got promoted because he learned to speak English better than the others where he worked. It was a great time and our after-class events taught us a lot more about the Japanese than most Americans will ever experience. And the Lieutenant married his girl friend about a month before I rotated back stateside. The entire class was invited to the four day gala affair. Her dad was a millionaire due to investments in dairy products all over the western Pacific, so the new hubby resigned his commission and as far as I know still lives in Japan. I had no idea we had done something that others had done before, but I'm still proud of what we did.

Cataract surgery update
Forty Rod SASS 3935 replied to Smokin Gator SASS #29736's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Had mine done on 2008 when radial whatever was still the favored thing. I told the doctor it was like detergent ad on tv: the whites were whiter and the brights were brighter. I still love them compared to the "bottle bottom" lenses I had before. Two years ago the VA sent me to a specialist to have the "film" lasered off. An hour forty minutes in the waiting room, less than five minutes in the chair, drove myself home after waiting in "recovery" for fifteen minutes or so. I'm very happy with it. Not bad for over 15 years with NO Problems whatsoever. -
