And there is the perfect solution to all the man vs woman vs cat
toilet issues. Just both man and woman put the seat AND lid down
each time. Keeps Sheldon's cats out plus man vs woman have no
more issues. Both sex's can equally learn to open, use, and close
toilet each time. :)

I had a part time job as a janitor in a restaurant many years ago. I
can tell you that the men's washroom was never as bad as the women's.
There was never shit on the sit in the men's room like there often was
in the women's washroom. No wonder women prefer to hover. They hover
and then the miss the target, so the next one has to hover.

Our cleaning lady does the same. She also makes a bow for the top of
the paper towel holders. And the kettle will sit in the center of the
stove.And the towels will be hung a certain way, and etc. etc. She
leaves everything perfect. Mot just a job, its an obsession.

I shudder at the lack of courtesy I see in young people these days. One
day last week I opened the door for my wife and some young guy decided
he should try to squeeze through ahead of her.
 
One day I was heading into the library and there was a woman carrying a
large box and she was struggling to open the door. I wasn't about to run
over to open it, but I certainly intended to open it and hold it for her
when I got there. There was a 20 something woman standing on the other
side of the door. I was shocked enough that the she didn't so much as
reach and push the door open for the woman, but when the woman finally
got the door open the younger one squeezed through. That was disgusting.

Oh, it has been growing. The internet makes it even easier to bully and
denigrate others. Just look what happens here on RFC and it is worse in
other groups. Bullying is a major concern in schools and much is done
with Facebook, and other social media.

I am not going to lie.. I had like 5 of these treats this morning and
damn I really can not stop eating them... I ran out of the bread and
butter pickles, that was the only reason I stopped.

While I realize PTSD is a valid disorder I have to wonder how anyone
could develop it while sitting behind a desk.
 
My father once told me one of the hardest parts of his job (speaking
about Vietnam, which he rarely did) was having to write to inform
parents of the young men under his command that their son had been
killed. And yes, he wrote to them personally, even though they were
also informed through official military channels stateside. I'm sure
that was extremely stressful but he never claimed to have PTSD.
 
He told me many of the parents wrote back to him, thanking him for his
kind words. His kind words often involved making them sound like they
died heroically even if their kid was an idiot who did something stupid
like try to pick up a land mine after being told to step around it. :(

True. Most military positions involve at least some combat training. I
was in the reserves in an technical unit and our basic training involved
the basics of combat. We had to do the route marches, field crafts,
hygiene, weapons training, play silly bugger. We had to do all that
stuff in addition to our trades training. It was the preparation for
defense when our units might be attacked.

There used to be veterans preference in the civil service here. A lot
of men in the post war civil service were veterans of WWII. I don't know
about the civil service exam, but if you were a vet and had a friend in
politics you were in. In Ontario, being a Mason was having two feet in
the door.

Yep. The military should have tougher recruiting standards to keep the
weirdos out. We see far too many people claiming PTSD who were never
exposed to the sorts of experiences that would cause trauma to a normal
person. People in some positions need to be trained to expect to see
horrible things. It's amazing that some people can undergo horrible
things and not be affected while someone who witnessed the incident
thinks it was traumatic to them.

Our local chain is having their Massive Meat Sale today and tomorrow
, and of course I stocked up . Ribeyes were $3.97 , KC strips were $3.48
, sirloin tips were $2.97  , and a couple of bags of individually frozen
chicken breasts at 1.28 . Ya gotta buy the whole KC strip or ribeye to
get those prices and I ended up spending over $125 but that's like a
years supply of steaks and a few months of the rest . I had the steaks
all sliced at 1" , the sirloin tip I'll cut up myself , and the chicken
went straight to the freezer . I just looked , we're going to have to
eat more steaks , I still have 4 packages of KC strips and one of
ribeyes left from last year . Gotta love that vacuum sealer ! The
ribeyes will be consumed tonight for dinner and I'm going to savor every
bite . I just got some new teeth and I can chew again ...

well that sounds really good... like your chicken breasts did you mean
like 1.28 a pound or kilo depending on where you live? And do you have
like one of those big deep freezers?
 
Well in any case I just hope all that cholesterol does not give you a
heart attack...

It's curious that so many people buy into the story about the native
people not wasting animal parts, that the entire animal is consumed.
That's not entirely true for the native people but it is for the modern
food business. Between the butchering for meat, the tanning of hides,
pink slime, gelatin, soup, dog and cat food etc, there is almost
nothing wasted when a farm animal is slaughtered.

a friend of mine, his mother used to do something with pig snouts. there was a recipe in 'gourmet' magazine for pig snouts braised in maple syrup. the method for doing this has been replaced by newer memories.
we used to butcher our own hogs. the older people ate a broth made with organ meats; even the lung. i never did partake. i like chicken liver, but haven't had it for years. beef tongue is also good if done correctly.

Well it is a easy enough process.... do foods seem more spicy to you
than to others? Do you detest the taste of strongly flavored items,
such as beer or wine? I am on the lower end of being a supertaster,
some cant even stand the taste of sugar.

Funny how some people use super tasting as an excuse to dislike things.
It should be seen as a superior sense of taste. This is where wine
experts and food judges excel.

  I buy liquor by the 1.75 liter bottle . I drive 50 miles to stock up
and actually save money compared to buying at the nearest store - we're
a dry county and they're after those tourist dollars .

The long rise is hardly a new innovation. Bakers have been using
it for centuries.
