I tried alcohol a couple of times, and it was awful, so that was that. |

When I was 14, 15 years old, I used to drink straight whiskey. It tasted awful, and didn't feel good going down, but it was so worth it for the high. You are pretty much a caricature of what in the 60s they called a "square," so of course you don't drink. My wife doesn't drink either, maybe a half a glass of wine once every 2, 3, 4 years. She did drink when we first got together, but it started giving her migraines, and now she doesn't even like the way it makes her feel. Of course, for years I drank enough for the both of us. Now that I drink infrequently, it makes me feel kind of bad the morning after, which it didn't used to do. --Bryan |

Assuming the same amount of alcohol consumption, a G & T is more dilute, usually cooler, more refreshing, especially on a warm day. 2 oz. of gin to 4 oz. of tonic is common. With whiskey, usually just a splash of water. I have beer in the house and it does go well with some meals, maybe once a month I'll pop one open. Probably 5 nights a week I have wine with dinner. |

Greg recently responded to an old Sheldon post from 2015. "Most plain janes make up for their ordinary looks by being extraordinary in the sack, the beauties not so much... that's always been my experience and other's I've known have agreed... can never tell a book by its cover. Amazing how many hot looking women talk big but in the bedroom can't deliver... same as how many talk how great they cook but are ascared to touch raw chicken. Every women I've ever known, and I've known plenty, when I watched them cook and they wouldn't touch food with their bare hands I knew right away to say adios. It's much the same with men, those who aren't adventuresome eaters are not going to be adventuresome in the sack. I would advise every women going on a first date when asked where they'd like to eat tell the guy Mike's Clam Bar... any guy who, no matter how fat his wallet, won't slurp raw cherrystones ditch him rightaway, I can guarantee you it ain't gonna work. Same advice for yoose guys,any gal doesn't enjoy soft cooked eggs and rare steak say goodbye." Around here, I'm the one for the soft yolks and rare steak, and my wife will eat raw clams and oysters. --Bryan |

Do you fish around in the cavity to make sure everything's as it should be, or do you just trust the poultry processor? -- Cindy Hamilton |

Either way, opening the little metal door at the base of the chimney to clean out leaves and debris is an annual chore that no one thinks about until years go by, and it fills the furnace flue pipe (if you have one), causing exhaust gasses to fill your house. |

Can you imagine *our Michael* calling a customer, "Sweetheart"?? Nearly every morning I wake my wife up with a nice, hot latte, and either, "Coffee, sweetheart," or, "Coffee, Betsy." She can sleep through an alarm, but even whispered, the word, "coffee," almost always wakes her up. --Bryan |

I'd imagine someone a lot like her, but less belligerent once struck with facts. Then again, perhaps "Gary UK" is a pushover in person. >> racism? >> To destroy it, eliminate it. > Nonsense, the blacks I know the buy the stuff as they would any other "collectible"... Precisely. Tell me why they'll spend 15+ minutes studying different objects in the case before selecting a couple of them to buy? It's called "Collecting". |

I used to make them once a year but then we got rid of the deep fryer. They were great. I needed apples that would retain their texture to some degree, otherwise the apple slices would turn to mush. We used to get apple fritters made by a group of church ladies for a local Pioneer Day. They were in big demand and we always had to wait in line but it was worth it. Years later we went to a similar event in a different town. We waited in line for 45 minutes and were eagerly anticipating our fresh hot apple fritters. It turned out they were completely different from the batter dipped slices we used to get. There were balls of dough with little chunks of apple. They had the texture of a rubber ball. Major disappointment. |
