True. And people that do certain jobs on ships, pretty much only know ship things. |

Troubled teens were given the military choice or jail. Depending upon the offense, some troublemakers were told to hit the road for good or go to jail. If you got a underaged girl pregnant, you married her right now or went to jail. The rules were simple. As draconian and obsolete as that sounds, Nevada had one prison. Now prisons are a industry in small towns all around our state. I know that we're not alone in that. So...are we moving forward? leo |

I know some who were high up in the military and thought they could waltz into any job and tell people what to do. Most people in civilian jobs go into the job knowing what to do. They may need a day or three to familiarize themselves with people, departments, equipment, etc. But beyond that, they just do their job. > actually kicked out of the Air Force because he was capable of thinking > and did not need a manual to do everything. Misfit there, but a leader > here. I had some young military guys that I worked with. Either active duty and looking for extra money or in the reserves and needed a flexible schedule to accommodate that. Low paying jobs but excellent workers. One of my worst employees was an older man retired from the navy. I actually was his boss. He didn't like me telling him what to do but I needed to tell him as he just did what he wanted instead of what needed to be done. All he cared about was making some extra money to play golf. I wound up taking up golf. I began leaving him notes (we did not work the same shift) of what needed to be done and adding little snippets of golf related things in the notes. All of a sudden, he began doing his work like he should! I found it slightly annoying to have to resort to that but it did work. Lots of silly things went on in the military in those days. Time wasting things, IMO. I believe a lot of that has been done away with or they are now doing it on the sly. |

Yes, then the gung ho types can go to the army and the civilised types can do something civilised. |

If another equality law is passed, let's make equality of toilet seat position a part of it. I always follow the law, even against my better judgement ;) leo |

| tert in seattle <tert@ftupet.com>: Mar 06 11:07PM I tried frying up some leftover polenta for the first time yesterday. I had poured the still creamy warm leftovers into a pyrex baking dish and put in the fridge the day before. I cut it into squares, like brownies, and fried them in olive oil and butter. I wasn't sure how long or how hot. They got a nice crispy outer shell and were creamy on the inside. It took them longer to fry that I expected, and more heat as well. Served with generous amounts of red sauce dolloped on top. They were pretty good but I wonder if they could be better. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I will definitely make polenta again - it's a great food on a cold winter day! |

I do that with cornmeal mush. A couple of eggs on the side doesn't hurt either. leo |
