Post WWII a lot of public schools bought (or maybe were given) surplus five pound cans of American cheese. I grew up on the stuff and still like it...but I like almost all cheeses.
We also got surplus stewed tomatoes, potato soup, SPAM ("sh-- posing as meat") ,Vienna sausages, spilt pea soup, a terrible catsup stuff, green beans, and other crap that I WILL NOT EAT.
The hard chocolate disk cakes were okay if one had the time and inclination to un-petrify them. Made a really decent chocolate drik if reduced to powder and add to milk.n
Strangely enough I still like canned milk in Ovaltine or over cereals.
Margarine is not allowed in my house, nor is canned butter. Crisco is only used to cure and preserve cast iron.

I guess almond milk has been around awhile…
I was about to ask just how one milks an almond...or any other nut. Thanks for the education.

I buy Kay's over in Prescott. I'm told she grows her own or buys from growers over in Prescott. She has a garlic-based mixes of different seasonings, too.
Not cheap. but reasonably affordable...and good on almost anything but strawberry ice cream, egg nog, and sarsaparilla. I even discovered that it's great on bacon and keeps hamburger from becoming tediously boring.

What is the supposed purpose of those?
Looks like someone's idea of how to make money from suckers who will buy almost anything just because "it's new, different, and stylish".
Idiocity on a stick.

Never saw Ricky Nelson in any other movie (had 2 tickets to his concert on the day he died) but he flat nailed the part of Colorado in Rio Bravo. One of my favorite western movies, right up there with El Dorado, the original Magnificent Seven, Silverado with all its flaws, and Valdez is Coming.

Bought one from Sears store in Logan, Utah about 1960. They had ton of surplus guns and gear at the time. I think I gave about $10.00 for it and another t$10.00 got a bayonet, sling, and some ammo. It waas in good shape, but not great shape.
I shot up the ammo and sold the gun within a week. It just wasn't right for me but my friend liked it, so he got it.

I buy some shears at Harbor Freight. I use them far more than I do my knives. They aren't great but they work. cost under $20.00 for a dozen.

Not mine. I bought a Colt 1911A1 at the PX on Okinawa and carried it, and I picked up an S&W Model 60 for someone going home.
Had a room mate who got a Browning High Power there and knew a Chaplain who did too.

I always thought it was great when everyone else cracked up, but when Tim broke himself up it was a treasure.

Two of my favorite comics. Made a couple of movies together, all pretty funny.
NONE OF THEM WERE THE "PRIVATE EYES!"
I rate it right below Blazing Saddles and bunch of other waste of time movies.
A total waste of time. The only reason I watched all of it was to see if anything in it was funny. T'wasn't, not for second.

Shop called today and I got the ammo. Came home and was putting it away when I found an earlier box of .32 S&W by Hornady. price tag says I bought it about a year and a half ago for $7.40 less than the new box.
Also caused a problem because if I had the ammo, what gun does it fit? Oh boy oh boy oh boy a mystery to solve.

I hate finger grooves on anything. Even revolvers. They never fit my meathooks. That's one of the reasons I love the 1911 and the SAA.
I could have written that. I agree 100%. I also carry a 1947 era Colt Dick Special. I added a Tyler T Grip to make it fit, nothing else is non-stock.
JFWIW, I don't own any plastic guns either.

I am 83 and at my last physical a was 5'9'. When I was playing college football I was measured numerous times and I was always 6' 1/4" tall. I have had one back surgery and several back issues and my surgeon said it was normal, especially with my back the way it is. I weigh 215, which is about what I weighed in college. I was up to 270 several years ago and I decided to take my Dr's advice and lose some weight. Want to get down to 200#.
I'm the same age, never had any back surgery and am now 5"9, down from 5'11".
283 pounds to 201 pounds in 16 months, but I don't think I'll ever unshrink!

We switched internet providers because of their loss of a mountaintop site that served our house. Just before they removed their equipment our Panasonic cordless phones lost voice audio. You can hear someone but they can’t hear you. We got new internet and the problem remained so my wife ordered new cordless phones to replace the old phones and they have the same problem, no voice audio. ATT quit servicing the wirelines so we don’t have that to fall back on and we don’t have cellular service at the house, once in awhile it’ll work out at the shop although text messaging works in the house. ViaTalk who provides the phone interface sent us a new interface unit and it didn’t fix the problem. Any ideas?
Yeah! Move to Arizona.

I have had a 1921 vintage 94 with a 26 inch octagonal barrel since about 1980. It looks almost like new with only a tiny splinter missing on the top of the right forearm. Owen Money worked on it when I got it and it runs like custom gun.
I can't imagine a better .30-30, though I also had a Savage 99 that is fine second choice. I wish I hadn't sold it.
I just found a Marble's Improved Model 16B front sight for the 94. Now it will be exactly like the one I took my first mule deer with in 1957. It was in Temple Fork up Logan Canyon in Northern Utah.
Good four point buck just right for eating. As we were getting ready to load it in the car Dad nailed a fine two pointer not thirty yards from the car with his .35 Remington Model 8.
His fit the trunk, mine rode the roof.
We had both at the butcher / cold storage locker and were home for supper.

Small downside: ammo cost 15% more for 50 rounds than I paid for the gun. Hornady makes it. I'll pick it up Tuesday when I take my dog to the vet a block from the only shop in the valley that can get it.
(I gotta learn how to get pictures on this site.)

NOBODY ever brings me food. A lot of people take me to lunch or dinner. Sometimes it's some place very special, sometimes just burger or pizza place.
Doesn't matter: it isn't about the food!

Yup! Back around 2010 I was working at a Cadillac dealership. Forget which model, but a customer needed a new headlight. $275+ for the bulb which had a large blast attached. About $500 labor as the nose of the car had to be removed to get to it!! Generally it ran $1000+ to replace both bulbs!
Apparently the engineers didn't figure a bulb would ever go bad!
I lost a bulb on one of my cars and took it to the dealer. Over $300.00 quoted.
BS
I was talking to a friend who owned a gas station. He had me take to him. He ordered a bulb and when it came in I went back. Under two hours, Less tan $20.00.
If it isn't something covered cost free in a warranty go see a local source, DON'T GO TO A DEALERSHIP!
