What is the difference between these two? They both look like the
number "1" to me, but I'm not sure what the first character is.

A troll isn't going to tell me what to post and neither are you. You
can be very annoying yourself, and sometimes I comment on it. Deal
with it or killfile me if you can't deal with it. If you want
moderation, go to Facebook.

It takes a level of mental illness to keep up with his every name
change. The constant devotion to Usenet, sitting in front of a computer
all day... I just cannot comprehend. There is no way that a bot is
doing it, it's some lonely person who is clearly very bored. Perhaps
they should volunteer their time to be productive.

The problem doesn't start with the name changes. The name changes are
a reaction to the problem.

OK, you've convinced me to try a small bottle next time I swing by the
store. Certainly not a half gallon, but I'll get one as depicted on the
half gallon label with the wood cap. Maybe ~$2 IIRC for the bottle that
I saw at Family Dollar; price was rather reasonable.
 
My instinct is usually to be cheap with condiments, except for ketchup;
I only buy Heinz. I'm out of Worcestershire sauce finally... the store
brand wasn't very good. Is Lea/Perkins in the paper wrapper worth it?

Heinz 57 is very odd. No wonder no one makes knockoffs, like
they do with A-1.

I've never tried any but the original, and might not ever. We just got
back from shopping, where we went to a Mexican restaurant/store,
where we bought salsa verde that tastes like it was made with
cactus. It's going to be the sauce for chilaquiles.

It doesn't look as bad in the photo as now, because that photo was taken
10 years ago. "Liberty tax" was still occupying the main storefront
when the photo was taken. I'd say at least a dozen windows have fallen
out since, and have been boarded up. Pieces of rotting wood trim are
falling off also. The roof is leaking like a sieve.
 
The building has a lot of historical significance locally, but I don't
see anyone investing $1 million+ in restoring it, so some day it will be
another empty lot. The stained glass is still almost all intact, and
I've heard that the purple glass is rare/expensive. If it comes to
being torn down, I'll try to work with the owners to salvage it.

Small birds are fine, from a distance. I would not want a pet bird.
 
I don't like dogs either. I'm OK with some dogs, but large aggressive
barking dogs (even if friendly) are very off putting to me. Same as the
little ankle-biter dogs. It's rare that I find a dog that I like.

Dogs stink, too, they are repulsive things...

My mother taught me to add milk. It was okay but it always left a watery
trace. When I tried water I didn't get the watery remnants. For a while
I dropping the eggs directly into the pan and then scrambling them. I
have settled on beating them with a fork, adding some hot sauce and then
into the pan. Even better than browning the butter is to add some
spinach as the butter is browning and letting it wilt before adding the
eggs.

I heard that it softens scrambled eggs. I tried it once or twice. It
didn't seem like a worth while addition, so I didn't try it again.

I like Publix store brand ice cream, too. I really should put it back
on my shopping list. I haven't bought ice cream in ages. A half gallon
lasts 6 months. I ran out last year and still haven't bought any more.

I am guessing buying gallon tubs will save you a few cents. Here's a
hint to prevent freezer burn. Press some plastic wrap down on the top
of the ice cream after you've dished some up, before you close the
container. It helps cut off the formation of ice crystals and freezer
burn. There's really no point in saving a few pennies if you wind up
with some nasty old ice cream.

I zoomed in. They're oblong rather than round. Almost certainly
charnushka seeds.

My end goal is to stop drafts. This horrid cold has one benefit... in
the single didgits at night, I can more easily feel where the drafts are
coming in. True, storm windows are just as efficient when properly
installed, if not better, than crappy vinyl replacement windows.
 
Being a retired painter, I'm not sure if you share my sentiment for
wooden window sashes or not. They literally last forever with proper
maintenance, and are easy to repair (not to mention customizable via
paint color). Vinyl is ugly, and it will end up in a dumpster in 20-30
years; rinse, later, repeat -- as Jill says.

I can't weigh in on that. I've seen a few old posts shared, but she
left just before I started posting.

"I have no need for more ice packs" indicates that he has enough ice
packs.
 
I don't need to use frozen veg for ice packs. We have several purpose-made
medical ice packs in the freezer at all times. They're much more comfortable
and effective than frozen peas.

That was my attempt to be amusing, not paranoia.
 
Consider how easily Usenet posts are found on Google. In reality, I
think that the intent of these spam posters is to become visible on
Google results for free, by continuing to repeat their messages. RFC is
a rather active newsgroup, and I'm sure it makes it's way to the top.
