Astonishing how things have changed so much.

We took a drive down from Miami to Key West one year. Kayaked the
Everglades at night on that trip. The drive down was lovely, though
Key West was a tad too cruise ship traveler for me. The gay stuff I
loved and the quaintness, but all those thousands on shore excursions
were nutso.

Nothing like a good road trip. I love them.

Don't they have a tourist attraction there that sells gigantic
brassieres? Popeye sized titty halters?

I had a trip to Yellowstone planned a few years ago, some reservations
made, but had to cancel. Would not be as much fun without my co-pilot
so doubt I'll ever do it. Can't complain, been to about 30 states and 7
countries.

I agree with you. Bush blew it with Saddam, and Obama blew it with Gaddafi
and Mubarak. My pure speculation is that Saddam's chemical weapons went
early during the war to Syria and are being used during insurrections by
Assad. He's certainly using chemical weapons.
Early on, the Iran-Iraq War should have been allowed to play out without
Soviet and Western intervention, but that wasn't going to happen. Ain't
hindsight grand?

Not for you. I would expect nothing deeper from your thinking ability.
 
Use equal parts polenta and ordinary wheat flour for your cornbread.
Vegetable oil works well as a substitute for butter. Don't forget the
baking powder, salt, milk and an egg. Well...you might have to find
substitutes for the milk and egg, but I'm not up on Millennial Chow.
Maybe, Purina is.
Otherwise, you're welcome.

I'm not a vegan, you know. I'm not even a vegetarian. I should be, but
I'm not. I just don't eat meat.

You're a little hard to pin down. I just looked it up. You're a
lacto-ovo-pescatarian. That's a mouthful. The good news is that you can
make real cornbread any way you want minus lard, and vegetable shortening
substitutes for that.

I don't eat meat, easy to pin down. Oil or butter, vegetable
shortening sounds a bit dubious.

We could do something very inclusive and make the rainbow the symbol
of gay hippie nurses.

I still have a Magnavox shortwave/AM radio with 33 1/3, 78 rpm turntable in
a nice console. No TV though. It's worth less than a hundred bucks today
(I checked online), its tubes are dead and the wiring is atrocious by
today's standards.
Still, I can't remember my life without it, and it makes a nice looking
clock and picture stand. It's a worthless family heirloom that I won't
throw away.

"Your Show of Shows", "The Adventures of Hiram Holliday" and
"Captain Midnight" are what I remember from when TV came to my town. We
had one station, KRON from San Francisco.
"Captain Midnight" was sponsored by Ovaltine. You got a Captain
Midnight patch with every bottle of Ovaltine. The Captain Midnight patch
sort of looked like the peace symbol did in the future.

I've heard of Captain Midnight but I don't recall us getting that channel.
However, when I was a child we drank Ovaltine quite a bit. Several years
ago I got hankering for it and remember how much I liked it. I bought a
jar and that stuff is disgusting. Hahahahaaaaa

The US version has been changed, to be far too sweet. If you can get
hold of the European version, it's much more like the one you remember
from your childhood.
I did a side-by-side taste test of them, then tossed the super-sweet one.

I'm pretty sure that the plastic cover is so that you won't rub your eye
in your sleep. My surgery was so cheapo that I just had instructions to
"Don't Rub Your Eye" with no covering provided. You should see a
significant difference when the cover is removed.
Before the next surgery is performed, look at a white surface with your
good eye first and then your bad eye. I noticed that what I thought was
white before, is a lot whiter with your "good" eye. That difference
goes away when the second eye is done and white balances for both eyes.
Use the drops religiously until done or told not to do so. There's a lot
to lose.

It's a very small Rehabilitation and Long Care center. They have one HR person and she's very busy! She gave me this week's schedule on a yellow Post-It:
 
John-
 
Sat 5/30
Sun 5/31
Wed 6/3
Fri 6/4
 
I'm sure I'll find out more tomorrow, Friday! I work 7A-7P.

Don't pester the poor lady. She already gave you your schedule.
 
Just show up for work every day and do your job. Do it good. Forget
about this newsgroup and shit in da LOO.
 
There's a good chance you may keep this job, and you really need to
do that.

Popeye has a 5 inch gun. His aunt got really excited when he fucked

This is a weekly pointer to the rec.food.cooking FAQ and conversion
file. If you do not want to see it every week, you should put the
title, which will not change, into your killfile.
 
The rec.food.cooking FAQ and conversion file is posted monthly to
rec.food.cooking, rec.food.recipes, rec.answers and news.answers. It is
also available as an easy-to-navigate frames version at
 
<http://vsack.homepage.t-online.de/rfc_faq.html>.
 
There is both a link to a no-frames version and a built-in no-frames
content for older or text-only browsers.
 
The rec.food.cooking FAQ and conversion file has two parts. The first
part covers conversion and equivalence. Tables are given for conversion
of oven temperatures, food names, weights and measures. Some useful
substitutions for unavailable ingredients are suggested.
 
The second part is more descriptive. It outlines some of the commonly
discussed topics of rec.food.cooking and explains a number of food
terms. It also lists other food-related newsgroups and mailing lists,
as well as food-related FAQs, recipe archives and other food/cooking
sites.
