If I didn't need Windows for work purposes, I'd have switched to Linux a very long time ago. Maybe if I ever retire. But in the meantime, I don't have many problems with Windows. I only keep losing a network printer after every second Windows 10 update. |

Since my OS's are all antiques and are no longer supported , I just use an offline updater and load justthe ones I want . I'm already retired so the only problem I'll have is retraining my wife to the new OS . Actually the learning curve should be easy , the Ubuntu GUI is very much like Windows . -- Snag Yes , I'm old and crochety - and armed . Get outta my woods ! |

Unfortunately W10 downloaded while I was out, near as I can figure likely the cat walked over the keyboard when it was asking to download as I was out! I am used to it now, though I have Internet Exploder turned off and use FireFox, I also have Windows Defender switched off and use ccleaner and malware bytes. |

I did and discovered that for certain W10 does NOT turn the comp completely off - by default . There is a way to turn that feature off though , I did not know that . Nothing newer than W7 (all Pro or Ultimate , all 64 bit except one old laptop) here , and I plan to keep it that way as long as possible .

Enriched Egg Noodles [Wheat Flour, Eggs, Niacin, Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate (Vitamin B1), Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Folic Acid], Maltodextrin, Salt, Corn Syrup (Dehydrated), Monosodium Glutamate, Chicken Fat, Chicken Powder, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Cornstarch, Yeast Extract, Parsley (Dehydrated), Chicken Broth (Dehydrated), Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate, Turmeric, Natural Flavors, Spices.

I think Damsel spoiled the idea of split pea soup for me a couple of decades ago by insisting it should have pepperoni added to it. IIRC she shared a pic and it looked like very greasy green glop. :( Jill |

He probably also got tired of hearing "that's not available here, > nobody in the state eats that, restaurants here don't serve that." I remember many posts where she said her husband didn't like or wouldn't eat what she cooked. He'd pick up something on his way home from work. If she did happen upon something everyone liked, she'd cook a whole bunch of it. Then she'd complain because they didn't want to eat the same thing day after day. Variety is *not* her forte. Jill |

Funny, but when you see real dancers they tend to be slender and fit. Then there is Julie and her alleged dancer daughter who don't fit the stereotype. |

The antithesis of ballet or other choreographed dancers. Ballet dancers do tend to be slender and fit. Male or female, it's rigorous work and burns off a lot of calories. I've never seen a fat professional ballet dancer. Jill |

Want to talk about >trailer trash? Canned mackerel ranks right up there. IMHO and YMMV. I like them with canned mackerel or with canned salmon, so we have either. Should I avoid canned mackerel because it's cheap? What kind of snobby nonsense is that? Besides, this whole newsgroup is built on cheap. Chicken wings for $.95c a pound, cow's ass for $.75 a pound, armadillo dicks for $.10c a piece, insecticide-ridden Walmart vegetables, GM corn, xanthan gum concoctions etc. You're all a bunch of tightwads from hell :) |

So, no > sinking to low depths, just surmising. Years and years. We all heard the tales about how he was never there or he picked up something to eat on the way home. The writing was on the wall when she kept posting about how no one would eat what she cooked. All the failures. Her "champions" tend to ignore or conveniently forget those posts. Meanwhile, if I choose to steam veggies it's somehow an abomination. Go figure. Jill |

True, Sheldon, but my point was commercial chili powder is bland. I have jarred ground ancho (smoky and slightly hot) and chipotle (not hot but tasty) on hand to add more *oomph* (not necessarily heat) to a commercial chili powder blend. I always have hot sauce on hand in the fridge. Jill |
