Well there ya go. You win again, Steve. I knew you would.
Still one question: live or frozen?
 
I know they sell frozen lobster tails but not sure about
frozen whole ones. I never look in the frozen seafood section
except for shrimp.

1971 Newport RI. Live lobsters right off the boats for
only $1.00 per pound. The company had their own boats
and covered dock at the marina. Inside the covered dock,
lobsters were in columns of trays with constantly running
water to keep them alive.
 
Each tray was labeled by lobster size so you could easily
find the size you want.
 
For my 18th birthday, we went there and got an 8lb lobster
(for 5 people).

My husband uses so much ice, our icemaker can't keep up. His
idea of a glass of water is to fill a 32-ounce glass with ice,
then add tap water. He drinks perhaps half a dozen of those
every day.

Is that 3.2 kilos/litres? Does he think he's a mermaid? Does he have a
tail?

32 ounces is almost a litre.

Okay, thanks for the clarification. Still, it was time for a new fridge
and it was too much to hope for that it not be somehow computerized. I
do sometimes long for the good old days. When appliances lasted 20
years without a motherboard. ;)

I have been seeing a lot of ads on TV for various brands of cars.
Doesn't seem like they're in short supply. You can even get contactless
delivery of a new car right now - like a pizza. LOL

I keep 2 ice cube trays in the freezer but rarely use them.
Often, when I think of them, they have evaporated to tiny size.
Main time I check on them is when my daughter will be coming
for a visit. She likes ice.

It's easier to answer the question than to understand the above post.

I saw a "good one" on the news when this pandemic first started.
Father went out on the street with chalk and wrote many
math problems. They he sent his young children out with chalk
to solve them. Childen playing math in the street. Good
thinking.

You really should do other exercises too, John.
The NordiTrack isn't an "all in one" workout.

Well be careful with that too. Remember how you fell a couple
of times when you first got it.
 
On the news this morning that Simon Cowell broke his back
on an E-bike. They they followed up with a report that
many older people are getting E-bikes and having accidents.
As the E-bike can go faster, a faster fall can be more
dangerous.
 
Any activity has it's risks though and I won't stop doing what
I like to do because of the risk.
 
One exception for me is maybe surfing. I've watched too many
of those shark documentaries lately and it makes me feel so
darn lucky so far. So many times in the past 50 years and
I could have been a stastistic. The shark attack frequency
is rising too.
 
Hmmmm.

Agreed, Ed. I got tired of the Bryan/Kuthe escapades years ago. It's
like watching a bad movie on LMN. Come to think of it, so is his book.

We all have our faults, Bryan. At least he seems like a much
nicer person than you portray yourself to be. What's with all
your anger and vengeance nonsense after all these years?

You call that a "major FLOOD?" lol
Last Thursday, we had pop-up thunderstorms that moved very slow
due to the usual lack of wind. 6" of rain in about 2 hours in
my part of town.

> That's why I put our compost out there, next to the Survivor Tree! In that plastic trash can that I brought from Skinker DeBaliviere and drilled a bunch of 1/" holes in it for ventilation!
 
Why don't you google 'compost' and learn how to do it properly?
All you have in that can is a pile of rotting, slimy veggie
matter.

Lol. No doubt unless maybe you could get an eye shot right
into the brain.
 
Q: Is the .177ca the same as bb size? I don't know.
I know they make pellets that size.
 
I've got a Crossman .22cal pump pellet rifle. 12-up to 20
pumps and that's a deadly weapon. It needs repair though.
The rubber seals that hold pressure have dried up and it
won't hold pressure anymore.
 
Some day, I like to get it fixed or fix it myself. Easiest
thing to do is take it to a gun shop and let them do the
work.
 
Same with my Co2 bb pistol....dried up seals

I love vegetarian food. Just not John's STD meals.
 
Maybe it's time for another round of tofu bibimbap.

You're punching under your weight. Although I probably overestimated
your weight, in which case carry on and enjoy!
