Most people have those things. Doesn't mean it will get you a job!

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

My dad was the District Attorney of our county the entire time I was
growing up. 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?

Yes. 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.

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.

I am not for the draft but would be for something that allowed a choice of a
non-violent, civil service type job.

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

You've served (or cooked, I should say) and you're very badly behaved.

Isn't being a gentleman patronising towards women? It reminds me of Ed
who liked that women were given a restaurant menu with no prices,
because the little things didn't have to pay anyway :)

Let's call it "old school" behavior and hard to change unless a law is
passed. 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 ;)

How about we don't lift them up at all and let the sitters play wet seat
roulette.

Nice women don't let such trivial matters bother them!

He asks for it. How many times have I suggested he keep his bizarre
private life to himself?

Cut them more like shortbread cookies, thinner, rectangular.

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!

Sure. Serve them fried for breakfast with Log Cabin Syrup. I do that
with cornmeal mush. A couple of eggs on the side doesn't hurt either.

Exactly! It doesn't say may your face look like a sow and may you
smell like a T-bone steak.
