I put sweet pickle relish on sandwiches, good on a ham n' swiss, with
mayo on one side, mustard on the other side. Yesterday's lunch was a
leftover cold sauted skinless boneless chicken breast on a hard roll
with mayo and sweet pickle relish. Sometimes I'll have sweet pickle
relish on a hot dog with mustard. I buy the pickle relish ready made.
However my real fermented garlic dills I make my own and I prefer to
eat them whole. When my kirbys come in this year I'm ready for
putting up a boat load.

One of my childhood favourites was to open up a gooey hot grilled cheese
sandwich and insert think slices of sweet pickle.

That might have been appealing when I was a child. I now open up a
grilled cheeses sandwich and insert thin slices of onion, tomato, and
fresh jalapeno.

"They" as in the manufacturers of those things. I didn't
make that up. I've seen the warning sticker on them when
I did a remodeled bathroom a few times.
 
I suppose it's a disclaimer to protect the company from
a future lawsuit. Those warning stickers say to leave
on and let owner read them and remove.
 
I'm not going to look it up for you but you can.
Google will show a mention about this concern.
 
If your outdoor hot tub has water jets, you might
want to read all about it.

Perhaps your installer removed all stickers. They shouldn't have.
 
BTW - how do you like that walk-in tub? Glad you bought it?
I see the commercials often.

Or, possibly after 30 years of hot tub ownership, I'll just keep
doing what I'm doing.
 
Don't forget, ordinary play sand is known to be a carcinogen to the
State of California.

If I show "tree" view, I'd still have to click on a link to see
the last message (and so do you). I click on a number shown
on the same message.
I prefer to read all by "date/time" not "tree" as you can
plainly see by my screenshot above.

I download posts (and emails) in bulk all at one time.
The ng posts will first download all headers. Then I
"select all" to download all bodies.

Nor should you. This old Netscape version is very old.
Not even sure it would still work on newer computers.
I should try it sometime though as on my newer computer
I use Thunderbird and I don't especially like that.

Just saying but... one click on a reference link to see
who he was replying to (you), would be much quicker than
your post to him complaining about no quotes. :)

3068 Bellerive will certainly be worth more than Zillow says after Old World Roofing gets finished with their $117,xxx clay tile roofing Restore, and they start in a few weeks.

Here the houses are far apart but the mail carriers deliver from their
vehicle to country mailboxes at roadside. When they have a package
that won't quite fit into the country mailbox they will drive up the
driveway and leave it in a protected spot at the garage door, or they
may leave a form in the mailbox to pick up at the post office.

Give him some credit. He saw it in a cartoon when he was a kid.

7 years was the average time and they were "slaves" for that
time. But then they got freed unlike real slaves that that
stayed slaves for life.
 
Real slaves were very expensive and only the rich could
afford them. The indentured servants cost a lot less since
they were temporary.
 
Kinda similar to leasing a car vs buying one these days.

Nobody owes anybody a decent living. It's up to the individual to
make something better out of their life.
 
People that earn less, need to learn to live on less.
There are many ways to reduce cost of living.
Learn to live within your means and not go into debt.
 
Of your list of needs above, no one *has* to have internet
service much less high speed internet or even a computer.
Local libraries offer that for free. That's just one
savings for the poor.
 
If you're single and live in St.Louis, rent a room from
John Kuthe. Housing doesn't get any cheaper than that. :)

I agree with you there. Best food I ever remember came from
my grandmother (on Mother's side of family). She literally
spent her whole life in the kitchen cooking country food.
Fresh garden vegetables and usually game for the meat.
Every meal has good memories there.

I had a great great great great great grandfather was born in New York
but his family moved to Canada. He fought against the Americans in the
War of 1812. His son moved back to New York and when the Civil War broke
out he fought with the Army of Virginia. He was Provost Marshall under
Stonewall Jackson and then Provost General under Robert E Lee and was
present at the surrender at Appomattox Courthouse.

Well, just to play "devil's advocate" here, I personally
think that peanut butter cookies suck! heh heh

if you don't like peanuts and/or peanut butter
and/or cookies then that can be one point, but
hey, i'm not one of those sorts. i could live off
peanuts and peanut butter.

there's so much online and at the library that i'm
not sure i'd ever buy a cookbook again. i have a few
left here, but i gave away a lot of mine some years
ago to a neighbor who was a collector. then she moved
away and then passed away so those books are likely
someplace in California now if not thrown out or in
storage or donated to a library or sold off or... :)
 
enjoy! i'm waiting impatiently for the beans here
to get to green/yellow pod stage so we can have some
fresh steamed beans.

My comment came from all your past crabcake posts, Jill.
Or did you go to a local seafood place and buy live crabs
this time? Cook them and pick them? I doubt that happened.
 
OTOH, I've never had canned crabmeat so, although I criticize
that, it might work perfectly fine for crabcakes.

Have you ever tried Burger King apple pies?
I like them better. Good eaten cold too.
