He can't even keep a single thought when responding to Usenet posts.
 
But imagine all the people he could tell about his personal life.
 
Friends of mine, their whole household had it at once (two adults, 2
kids). They said the County health department harassed them
constantly by phone, sometimes calling at one-hour intervals. And
insisting to speak with everyone. Mostly making sure they weren't
leaving the house or were away from the house.

Oops. My mind was thinking northern Alberta but I guess my fingers wrote
Ontario. At any rate..... a lot of time and money spent travelling abck
and forth, but they made enough money to make it worthwhile.

Just the other day I say a movie on TCM, The Model Shop. It was filmed
in Los Angeles. The main character lived in a cheap apartment by the
ocean and there was an oil well with operating pump right next to his
building. I had to check into that and it turned out that there were a
lot of oil wells in LA.

That was my error... I meant northern Alberta.
 
But.. there are about 3,000 oil and gas wells in Ontario.
 
 
About 30 years ago we thought there was going to be a boom in gas
production just to the west of me. I used to car pool with a guy who
lived there and some company was coming around leasing small plots on
which to drill. The story was that they were looking for gas. A lot of
the farmers were all excited at the possibility of getting rich.
 
It turned out they had been deceived. The company was not looking for
gas at all. They wanted to know about the the types of soils and bedrock
because they were actually planning a chemical waste disposal facility.
Thank goodness that got cancelled. Now it is a wind farm.

Yeah. In decades past, a lot of maritimers did the same working in
Ontario.
 
But with all the stuff they have found recently in northern Ontario
(Diamonds, Gold, Precious & Rare metals, Radio-actives, etc.) it would
not surprise me that someone might find oil just by luck during the test
drillings.
 
But what I find truly mind-boggling is why there has never been any
further discussion in the media anywhere on the 'Temagami Anomaly'
despite that it was discovered in the previous millenium.
 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temagami_Magnetic_Anomaly
 
Here is the wiki entry final paragraph: "The Temagami Magnetic Anomaly
has striking similarities to the nearby Sudbury Basin, which is one of
the richest mining areas in the world. Its magnetic anomalies are very
similar to the Sudbury Basin and so it could be a second metal-rich
impact crater".
 
Does anyone else think maybe there's a fake news cover-up?

You put a quarter in the slot and push the handle, and the food
would fall into a hopper and only dispense after it made a few slam
dunks.
 
I'm sure gorillas in cages don't go over too well with the public

Her medicare apparently is not because she's entitled due to age
(65), but due to her disability status. Maybe it's different from
regular medicare? and the supplement different too?
 
I don't know.

helps a lot if you don't add spices, onions
and garlic when cooking them. just use them
as filler in other things.

Here on the mainland, I'd say Spam demand kinda fizzeled out during the 70s, but Hawai'ian pineapple as a pizza and pork topping sure caught on like wildfire! Those King's Hawai'ian sweet rolls are OK, too.

Hence the name: 'Chippers' instead of pub? I've read here how you can order a chip sandwich... chip buddies or chip butties? With beef gravy, instead of the vinegar though, right?

Hmmm ... Chippers instead of pub?? No, not heard that one. Chip butties
yes, but not buddies. I always, have vinegar but never had them with gravy,
but who knows what others prefer:)

So much for hearsay from me, here in the wild frontier. Though Ophelia, it is increasingly built up here in the states now, in general.

You must have a really shitty microwave if you have to nuke them for
3 minutes and 42 seconds.

I always wondered who bought frozen pancakes (other than Burger King
and McDonalds).

That might have been a bit overkill but they are hot and not
overdone.
 
I have a small 700 watt microwave that I use almost every
day to heat or cook things. Works fine for me.
 
You might have a nifty better one but I don't care at all.
Mine works just fine, thankyou.

But see - I won't be the one whining about the cold weather. I'll
be bragging about a perfect 60F day.
 
And calling you pussies :-)

I won't be whining, either. But I can still call you a pussy for
not tolerating the cold, much as you call us pussies for not
tolerating the heat.

Should not bother us much. I'm on the west coast and the storm is just
off the east.
 
I was supposed to head north tomorrow but I'm delaying a day. If I left
tomorrow I'd be in rain and wind the entire trip. An hour is not a big
deal but 14 hours is.

Every Friday I call a friend at about 9 AM. Sometimes I have to leave
the breakfast cleanup as I'm just finishing up. So my friend has been
to two different stores, put the groceries away and is finishing her
second coffee of the day.

Yes, you too, stay safe. It will head up to NS afterwards, if it
comes by sea it will be worse. This is a concrete building so my
worries are the same as yours, not really very great although it seems
so at the time :)

Otherwise the slaw gets too watery, especially if you use
buttermilk. You can make it too dry and the cabbage leathery, so
don't salt too long.
