My first car was a used Torino. The exact model
car and green color in the movie.
I nearly waxed the paint off.

In the last few years there has been a lot of cauliflower stuff being
touted as better for you if you are a low-carber. I'm still not
convinced it would make a great pizza dough. Seems to me gluten is kind
of important when it comes to making a good dough. Allegedly, gluten is
his real enemy. That and anything to do with religion, which is what he
was ranting about when he made his first posts here.

Some people actually think it should be encouraged. I have seen some
interesting street art, but most of it is obscene crap. If I ran the
world anyone caught defacing property would be responsible for cleaning
up not only what they were caught doing, but all the graffiti in that
area. They can do it themselves or they can pay a professional. And that
means cleaning the graffiti itself and repainting the surface they had
defaced.

Yet Americans can get away with shooting people running away with their
stuff.

Yeah, to some degree. Someone in my extended family was convicted of a
$14.5 million fraud. It ruined the lives of a number of people. One of
them was so shattered he suffered a fatal heart attack.

No they can't. More's the pity.

There are cases where they have. There was a case a few years ago where
a guy in Texas <?> reported burglars making off with his neighbour's
stuff. He said he was going to shoot them. The dispatcher told him not
to. He shot them anyway, and the grand jury would not indict him.

Show me one that Texas has executed that was 'innocent.'

Sometimes people get off on technicalities, or after appeals years after
the fact. I can think of a few cases where the guys appealed several
times and were eventually acquitted, but they were probably still guilty
of the crime.
 
We had a situation here where a pathologist was the expert witness in a
number of infanticide cases. His evidence was questioned in appeals and
other expert witnesses disputed his claims. He ended up losing his
credibility and his standing as an expert witness. In the wake of that,
just about everyone who was convicted in cases where he gave evidence
appealed their convictions. Since he had been the main witness and
since he had lost his expert witness qualifications the crown ended up
dropping the charges. That does not automatically mean that they were
guilty. It just means that the prosecution no longer had a case.

Kewl ! It looks like it's just one newsgroup that my posts aren't
showing up , which is exceedingly odd ... I made some very negative
comments about a major media outlet , makes me wonder if I tripped some
alarms somewhere in the chain . Racism - or the lack thereof - was
involved so ...

when i started growing beans a quick way to get
varieties to try out was buying a 16 bean soup mix.
some of them did not grow at all, but the others
did ok.
 
----------------- Thanks, that sounds interesting!! I might just try
planting some of the beans I have:))) It's worth a try:))
 
 
eventually though i wanted more varieties so i've
bought some from seed companies and also done a lot of
trades with people on-line and at a few seed swaps.
 
i also cross-breed and select from what i harvest
what looks interesting. it can take a few years to
evaluate a bean to see what it does. i have a
variety of soil types to work with so that is also
a part of the evaluation process.
 
one thing i did this year was interplant a large
number of beans to encourage them to cross breed.
i won't know if any actually did until the seeds
from this year are planted and grown (the seed coat
from a cross shows the maternal color and pattern so
you have to plant them to see what comes next). with
as many seeds as i hope to get i'll never be able to
plant all of them so some crosses can happen and
won't be detected. just have to keep at it and keep
trying. :) since i don't hand-pollinate or isolate
plants the bugs/bees do all the crossing for me.

-------------------- Thanks very much:)) That is most helpful and I think
I will be trying to do it your way:))))

if they are old they may not sprout or they
may sprout and then die.
 
when you know you have good bean seeds they
will sprout faster when the soil gets warmer.
 
if you have trouble getting any to sprout at
all you may need to do it indoors where it is
warmer and then set them out.

well it is cheap enough as a bag of beans is
only a few $ here - and since we are a bean growing
region a lot of them may be even sort of local.
 
the problem i had with them though was that they
were too familiar to me and i wanted to get more
varieties more suited towards our micro-climate
and soils. each year i keep finding more to work
with so it is going well. :) and i do give a lot
of them away at the seed swap. that is also a
good way to get garden seeds and fun to meet
people.

Only if you have the high roast! They sell light and medium roast
coffees too.
I frequently go to one in Calgary to meet friends. It is well-run, they
treat their employees very well and they are paid above minimum. They
are also cheaper than two locally-owned coffee bars that are a mere 50m
away and which I will not patronize.

I've been to Starbucks once and had a double espresso. I will say the
caffeine content was pretty high. I've tried Bustello several times
but prefer La LLave. A big mug of it will make your scalp crawl!

I don't even buy their bagged coffee at the grocery store and I sure don't
frequent their establishments.

The bakery coffee shop around the corner from me was started by a young
woman who developed it on her own. When she decided to quit and go and
work for some overseas aid organization one of her customers bought the
business and followed the old business model. She uses fair trade
coffee and all of her products are made with quality products. The
coffee is incredible. Her prices are about the same as $tarbucks, but
the coffee is infinitely better.

That is a very succinct and accurate description of the difference, Janet.

He's been asked if he's been tested but Crusty self-diagnoses so most
likely you'll never get an honest answer. He's probably too busy using
his air fryer to 'can' pineapple jam/jelly/spread or whatever it is he
concocts.
