Oh. "Remember when" was four weeks ago. I thought you were referring to
a much longer time span, as most people do who invoke that kind of
nostalgia.
 
I don't eat much ground beef, so I never pay attention to the price.
A half pound for a couple of burgers isn't going to break the bank,
even at $6.59/lb. It looks like ground chuck is $6.99/pound at the
store where I would buy it. That's less than I would have expected.

I ALWAYS GRIND MY OWN BEEF, ALWAYS COSTS LESS AND MUCH BETTER QUALITY
THAN THAT NASTY PREGROUND MYSTERY MEAT.
 
BUT I'LL TAKE A SHIPLOAD OF YOUR LARGE FRESH BRALESS BREASTS AT
$1.99/LB.

I'm left handed and I don't throw the grass clippings onto the driveway.
Sorry your wife is impaired in that way.

No, I'm not. Every time you generalize, you're simply wrong.

I don't golf, but I do a bunch of stuff right-handed. Knit, use scissors,
use the sliding compound miter saw, computer mouse, etc. It was just
easier to learn to use my right hand for those things than expect the
world to conform to me.

I'm left-handed as well but never threw grass clippings on the sidewalk or
on my central air condition unit. It's just too easy to turn the lawnmower
in the other direction to spit out grass.

Me, neither.

I'm decent in mechanical things and can hold my own as well. Do I want to
rebuild a car engine? No.

Hmmmmm, just like a right-handed person I use my left hand to guide the
cloth straight when using my sewing machine. But maybe something like a
lathe might be a danger to myself or others.

Nor do I golf but I switch throughout the day which hand is manipulating
the computer mouse.

I'm right-handed, and forced myself to learn to do a number of things
left-handed, so I could teach my left-handed customers.

Yes, that was quite silly of him to say. Left hand or right
handed won't affect your mowing direction.

Now if can only remember not to post here all day long so he won't

Cats don't like health food any more than people do :)
 
My old siamese would rather catch a mouse, rat, squirrel or rabbit
and eat it than store bought food. She eats everything except a
little dab of innards (gall bladder etc.) With larger prey like
rabbits, often the hind part is left since she always starts at the
head. On days she doesn't get a varmint or two, she likes the plain
walmart special kitty brand just fine.
 
Once I bought some expensive cat snacks like the hipsters buy, but
she wouldn't touch it. I guess she's like me and has very plebian
tastes.

Ouch! Apparently though it's not always like that. In VB, you can
refuse an order (person has to take it back and doesn't get paid) if
the items are substandard.

I didn't like Obama but it had nothing to do with his racial mix, much
as dsi1 likes to pretend.
 
Obama destroyed the middle income job market and the ability for middle
income to get insurance. His policys caused a large number of minimum
wage (or very near it) workers to no longer be able to get full time
with benefits because it got too expensive. Now they hire 2 or 3 part
time folks and folks with those jobs need 2 jobs (neither with benefits
now) to make basic ends meet. I will grant he meant well, but the
business sector was warning well in advance what would happen and he
did it anyways.

Somehow, it just doesn't excite me to make pastry. I am sorry but we do
few sweets here other than Apple pie gluttony as my apples come in (I
have 2 apple trees and a prolific crop).
 
Anyways, baked 4 more loaves of bread today (given for free) for folks
not getting paid at all or seriously reduced hours.
 
I have lost count now but it's probably something like 120 loaves now?
This weekend will make another 10-16 or so. The Zoji is holding strong
under the load.
 
These are 1/2 a 2lb bread machine recipe (so they are called). Made in
dough mode then split to 2 fairly even portions.
 
I'm just having fun and helping folks offset the grocery bill by some
3-4$. There are lots of folks doing little bits like me.

I must be Indian. I love them too. I rarely heat that sort of snack
food, but when I do allow myself a really bad for me treat it is Doritos.

She was a guest on Turner Classic Movies (TCM) a few years ago as a guest
programmer reviewing a favorite movie. One of the things they discussed
other than the movie was her voting every year in the selection of Oscars.
