Originally, I didn't like the taste of EVOO. Then I acquired
a taste for it in 2 dishes only. Spaghetti sauce and for a
white pizza.
 
This Robust is mostly flavorless. I was very disappointed in
the lack of flavor.
 
For that reason, I've left it out on the counter for the past
year, hoping once it starts to turn rancid, maybe it will at
least have a taste.
 
Again...this is why you bought it for only $2.21 per quart.
They just wanted to get rid of it.

I shall try the Burger King apple pie the next chance I get. The McDonald's pies sold here are deep fried. My understanding is that they're baked on the mainland. Beats me why that is. Baking seems like it would take an awful long time.

The burger king ones come in wedges just like cut from a pie.
I do like them but it's been a long time. And again, eat it
cold from the fridge if you take it home.

Those are pretty funny, if not highly predictable. OTOH, Italy is a country of people with a great need for a shtick. Jews got shtick, Hawaiians got shtick. Now Italians have a shtick of their very own. This is a good thing.

My favorite frozen pizza comes from costco. A four pack of pepperoni
pizzas for ~$4. They are actually really good. I usually add olives and
some extra cheese though, to add depth. But I've had it plenty times
without anything added.
 
We have a local pizza joint here called 'blaze.' They'll have a pizza
cooked in about ninety seconds.

I like grilled cheese with a tomato slice inside.

Your math is bad. A paycheck for $3000 @ $30 per hour would
be a paycheck for 100 hours. Hardly for "one week plus"

That's only $200 per week. You need a better job than that.

Next time when you pretend to be a rich guy, do your

Perhaps. A house is worth what someone else will pay for it. Anything
else is fantasy.
 
I bet your property taxes go up. Better raise the rent.

That's something some people have trouble understanding. A former
friend, Cheap Bob, had some money saved up and mediocre inheritance and
set off to find a cheap place to live. He ended up in Parrsborugh NS.
Where he bought a house that had been on the market for about 4 years.
The asking price had been $95,000 and he got it for $68,000. He kept
carrying on about the great deal he had got, a $95,000 house of $68,000.
I told him the house was worth $68,000 . I tried to explain that it
doesn't matter what the asking price had been because no one would pay
that. They did manage to sell it for $68K, so that is what it was worth.

My step-daughter knows about the area. She ended up
living in SF and her first job there, she worked
at a health food store located right on the corner
of Haight and Ashbury streets. :)
 
This was in the 1990s.

In shared housing, you start out as strangers but that
quickly changes. I lived for a year with 3 army fellows.
They kicked out their old 4th roommate and I came in as
a total stranger.
 
My girlfriend was a good friend with another girl that
was dating one of them. They ended up getting married too.
 
In that next year, we all became good friends and one of
them, my best friend. It's not all that weird as you seem
to think.

Nice is an opinion. I hate hot weather. Any time it gets over 80 F
(that's about 26 C) I hide indoors in the air conditioning.

The same here. We start to melt at about 80F. Quite seriously.... we
start getting extreme heat alerts.

Times have changed in America since we were young men. For young people these days, it's a bleak dog eat dog, zero-sum game existence. Mostly, it was brought about by American greed.
 
I see nothing wrong with forming a more perfect union, insuring domestic tranquility, and promoting the general welfare of the American people. These are good things. Other countries can do it. Why can't we?

Your rock would be in even more dire poverty than it already is without US Federal largesse...many around the world would be THRILLED for their nations to become a US state...

The only reason they estimate it be worth even that much is because
John overpaid for it last time. Look how much the Chinese guy got
it for.

Single houses can be high population density... I grew up in a row
house in Brooklyn, all the houses on the street were attached...the
mail carrier walked to each front door and delivered the mail into a
slot in the door or a box attached to the wall on the side of the
door. The houses were each only 20' wide so wasn't much of a walk
going house to house and each stoop was only 4-5 steps.
Across the street the corner house was a small walk up apartment
building, four flights, no elevator, 4 apartments on each floor, there
was a multi mailbox built into the wall in the vestible of the front
entrance. During inclement weather all us kids would congregate in
the vestible, to play board games or do art work, we had rubber molds
to fill with plaster of paris, after it hardened we'd paint all kinds
of objects with water colors; animals, cars, boats, etc... then we'd
sell those objects to people who lived on the street, usually for a
dime. we made enough to buy new molds, plaster, and paint, plus
enough for ice cream, sodas, and to treat a cute girl to a charlotte
russe, who was willing to play doctor... we were only 8, 9, 10 years
old.... those girls would show us boys how to play doctor, at that age
they knew more than us.

Manhattan, NY is about as densely populated as it gets, with lots of
skyscapers... lots of keyed letter boxes in the lobby, the mail
carrier uses a master key to access all the boxes by removing the
front panels.

As it is in the US in the cities. Rural areas get different treatments.
Many have a box at the curb at each house, some have clusters.
Everyone though, does have a way of getting their mail.
https://facts.usps.com/8-mile-mule-train-delivery/
Elsewhere, the Postal Service moves mail by planes, hovercraft, trains,
trucks, cars, boats, ferries, helicopters, subways, bicycles and feet.
 
Oh, you can also send live animals by mail. At one time you could even
send your kids.

My mom and an uncle were postmasters in our tiny rural hamlet, lots of boxes of chicks - the bird type, lol - would come through...

And add thinly sliced smoked sausage. Very good.
