| Lucretia Borgia <lucretiaborgia@fl.it>: Jun 22 10:38AM -0300 >OK, if they can't sell internationally right now, prices should >be >very cheap here now. No cheap prices here. Remember over two years ago Trump called on Canada to arrest Meng Wanzho under a treaty agreement? We did as bid, then he has done nothing more, which makes us unpopular with China and receiving boycotts. They also arrested two Canadian citizens in China and unlike Meng who has been under house arrest in her million dollar home with merely an anklet to restrict her, they have been in solitary cells with lights on 24/24. (One of my uncles was a POW in Korea back when and he always said that was the worst punishment, it really gets through to you) so it is yet another reason I hate and detest Trump. So moving forward, the other day the Chinese claimed our fishermen had sent lobsters to them with Covid 19???? |

I've been buying EVOO at Walmart for several years, 101 oz. jugs, their own Great Value brand, very inexpensive, I remember under $10. It's the only oil I keep anymore other than toasted sesame seed oil which is really a flavoring. |

It was actually $60/mo but in CA one paid $5 extra for a stove, or buy your own, I didn't want to buy a stove I'd likely have to move in about a year. Living in CA was dirt cheap in the '60s. I was working for Hugh's Aircraft then, making tooling for helicopters, and was paid almost four times what I could earn in NY. Gasolene was 9в-11в a gallon depending on which gasateria. Eating at restaurants was very cheap for excellent food... and was real Mexican food, not the crappy Tex Mex they push at Taco Bell. At that time San Diego was literally a slum, a navy town with lots of bars and tattoo parlors. |

Popeye, I bet that was the neighborhood where all the homosexual navy officers lived. And there yoose were, right in the middle of the action. |

Some claim it was about states' rights, but the only right they really cared about was the right to have slaves. > I suspect Lincoln abolished slavery later just as pay backs > to the South for trying to divide us into two countries. The Emancipation Proclamation was a pretty hollow gesture. It granted freedom to slaves in the Confederate state, but the Union didn't really have the jurisdiction to do that. |

A lot of people speak out about the need for education and informing people on issues like sex, drugs, disease and other public health topics, but even the best attempts are ignored. Most of us know about the dangerous of hard drugs, but we still have addiction problems. We have taught people about the birds and the bees but young girls are still getting pregnant and unable to care for their children on their own. We know that AIDS is transmitted primarily through unprotected sex but there are still people running around having unprotected sex with strangers. |

The French are also known to be squat to piss cowards. 'French rifle for sale, never fired and only dropped twice.' |

We visited the International Slavery Museum when we were in Liverpool. It was interesting and moving. The Brits abolished slavery about 30 years before the Yanks did. The difference, of course, is that they didn't have a civil war over the matter, nor have they spent the last 160 years trying to resolve the conflict. === I expect you knew I didn't post the previous post? |

The box gets bashed once in a while. They cost $20-30 to replace, but then there is the cost of those sticky letters than don't stick as well as they should or hand lettering with paint. Canada Post would really like to do away with them. There is still mail delivery on some old neighbourhoods, but for the last 30 years new neighbourhoods have been getting communal mail boxes. They keep threatening to cut our rural service. They have been trying to make it a safety issue. A few years ago they raised a bullshit safety issue with my mail box, complaining about a low hanging branch. The mail is delivered by a car or by a small van. Tractor trailers pass under that branch. |

My husband, (ex architect) says HO should probably pay for replacing it, but you can order direct from post office. He always ordered direct from a book the PO has. He also says people throw a chain around them, attach them to a truck and tear them out of the ground all the time. (Crap! Who does that kind of stuff????) Janet US |

We had that in our first house and older places still do. The US is big and diverse so you find many combinations. We have places with a drive from road to house of 1/4 mile so they won't put it at your door but a box at the end of your drive. |

We don't know. === Here (well where I live anyway) We have 'letter boxes' on our front door. If we are not in when a parcel is delivered, they hide it somewhere in the garden and put a note through the letter box tell us where it is! |

Here steel posts at road shoulders are illegal, they must be wooden breakaway type. Some people here live close together or across the road from each other so they mount 2-3 mailboxes on one wooden post. There are some infirm people here who set up a clothesline on pulleys, they hang their mailbox and pull it to their front door to use their mailbox, but only if the clothesline doesn't cross the road... the mail carrier delivers to only one side of the road. On this road the smallest buildable lot permitted is 5 acres but most are much larger. |

I was told that it was up to the residents to >replace it. How? We don't know. In some areas that use those cluster boxes it is up to postmaster to decide when it needs replacement due to deterioration etc. The postmaster uses a crew to do the replacement and all those who use the cluster pay the costs equally... those cluster boxes work the same as PO Boxes inside the post office. We're thinking of getting rid of our PO Box as it is becoming too expensive... actually the PO Box should be free as we need to drive to the post office to get our mail, The entire postal system is inane, getting our mail delivered to our house is done for free. We are switching trash pick up to a new local company that is charging half plus the first three months free, and will probably not miss days of pickup... lots of neighbors have already switched and are very happy with the new company. We are also going to be rid of Cable TV at the first of the month, we already ordered Dish, it's less than half price and gives many more channels. |
| KenK <invalid@invalid.com>: Jun 22 04:35PM I bought an air fryer a yesr or two ago along with two or three books of air fryer recipes. After going through the books several times I didn't see any recipes that couldn't be cooked easily by other means. The fryer sits unused. Those of you who use air fryers, what am I missing? What types of recipes should I be looking for? TIA -- I love a good meal! That's why I don't cook. |

We'd go to the bakery and ask for an unsliced loaf of bread and ask them to cut the sides and bottom/top off and slice the bread horizontally. She would fill the different layers with ham salad, egg salad, some sort of vegetable filling (drained chopped cucumber or a salad mix) Topping was cream cheese as per Steve. Decorate as you wish.
