Same here. They know that 99% of the shopper that come in for milk will most
likely walk out with more items. Draw them in with a good price for moo
juice and they'll spend bigger bucks in other areas of the store.

The joke's on them. I shop there for the quality of the vegetables. The
rock-bottom price on milk is just the icing on the cake.

It must be an important factor for a lot of choppers because around here
the price of milk is just about the same everywhere. The various grocery
chains, independents and convenience stores all sell it for the same
price. I guess they don't want people going to other stores to take
advantage of their milk prices and doing the rest of their chopping
there too. I presume that they are also hoping for some customer
loyalty. They all want to be the go to store for the people who come for
milk. It is similar to the use of express checkouts. They get more bang
for the buck from the shoppers with a cartful of groceries than they do
from the 8 items or less, but what they are aiming for is insuring that
those people will come back instead of discovering the competition.

The convenience-store price here is about double what I pay at the
grocery store. I don't comparison shop grocery stores, so I don't
know if everybody charges the same. ISTR my previous store charged
more than $1.99/gallon, but it was a much smaller chain than the
place I shop now (which has its own brand of milk).

I think you're right. I tried pouring off half and half instead of
buyng it in quarts, but stopped when I noticed that it didn't keep
as long as quart containers.

It is amazing. It used to be the Paris of the Midwest, and then generations
of neglect nearly killed it. It's a lot better than it was, but it's still
mainly an empty husk.

Maybe Steve, but we don't know if it's real or not. Either way, I
don't correspond with him because from all I have seen (KF but only the
default 30 days then he pops back out automatically), he's posted only
1 message without a jab at everyone or a specific person.
 
If he does have medical issues driving that then I feel sorry for im,
but that doesnt mean I have to engage with him and put up with it.

Had a friend many years ago (lost contact when I was in Japan). I
forget the name of the syndrome but he had uncontrollable cussing that
would randomly flash out. Lets say, conversations were interesting!
 
I took him to a nice restarunt in Richmond (he lived there) with my
daughter (then about 10 but well behaved). She'd met him before and
would just giggle when he would let out some expletives. He wasn't the
type to be loud so we simply asked for a quiet corner. I believe there
was also head trauma involved. He was perfectly normal otherwise and
very brilliant and witty. We were collaberating on software beta
testing for BBS (Fidonet) software with screen readers.

24 points is nothing CK. It's all in how you _use_ it. It's also not
a flat scale. A person can have an IQ of 140 but not grasp math well
or have one of 95 and be a wiz at calculus.
 
Thats why military entry tests are done by line score, meaning how you
do in specialized areas that align to tasks to be performed. Tool use
is an interesting one. We use it to identify people who naturally will
get the right tool for the job and make things work faster. Useful in
mechanics and construction related fields. Consider the term
'mechanically inclined' to be related for that one line score.
 
A person can have a 100 IQ but study hard and apply themselves well to
learning situations and leave you in the dust in the real world.
 
One of the things that can happen when very high IQ, is frustration
when others can't keep up as you leap ahead. Tends to make a person
look scatter-brained (LOL!).
 
Off hand, I'd say the average IQ here is much higher than 100. That
doesn't mean we have all the same application level of it in real life
that shows it. We may not express it in every message either in a way
that comes across as sounding 'smarter than average'. Thats ok, This
is where we come to relax and let our hair down.
 
I'd say you are barking up the wrong tree if you think the issues you
have here, are related to your IQ. They are not. They are purely due
to behavior on your part.

Many people with higher 'IQ' (real or simply believed) fail to exceed
just like everyone else and for the same reasons.
 
I don't think a TBI can raise actual IQ but I am no specialist there
nor claim to be one.

As usual you are eating crap again. I'm sure you could exist on a bean diet
for every meal.

it doesn't sound all that appealing to me but I wouldn't call it crap
 
I'd leave the bell peppers, fruit and nuts out of the salad and add
pepperoncini, cherry tomatoes, and red onion - assume you've got oil
and vinegar, maybe oregano
 
I make a lentil soup about once a week

Does the gardener permanently live in the grounds but come to the main house
for meals? That's an odd arrangement.

Shoulder tendonitis can also make for a very unpleasant time.

Prepared by Jaues Pepin. He peeled the raw bell green pepper, minced it, minced tomatoes and onios, peeled and minced field cukes, not the English, but the field cuke with seeds. He seeded those. Everything went into the food processor. He also had chopped cukes, onions, tomatoes, and green bell pepper as a garnish. So the stuff comes out of the food processor, but he still puts it into a food mill. btw, in the food processor, he added a vegetabl juice which he called a bloody mary mix. The food mill gave a very refined product. It looked delicious.

Sounds good, much like the gazpacho I once made. Only, I put in a lot
of cumino (cumin). ;)

Recipe
1 green bell pepper, peeled with vegetable peeler and chopped
1 Vidalia onion, chopped
3 cucumbers, peeled, seeds removed
4 large ripe tomatoes, quartered
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1-1/2 c. Bloody Mary Mix (I used Zing Zang)
1 tsp. salt
Sprigs of parsley for garnish
Croutons
 
Save 1/2 c. each of the green pepper, onion, cucumber and tomato for garnish. Put all the ingredients, except for the parsley and croutons, in the blender. Turn on and blend until smooth. You can't beat a Vitamix for this step!
 
Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with spoonfuls of the reserved veg. Add 2 or 3 croutons and sprigs of parsley, if desired.

Some of us still do.
 
My brother bought me a W10 computer (HP), which I use constantly for its
excellent graphics. But, for serious computing (realinfo/finances/etc),
I still use my Linux box.
 
The W10 box has great graphics, waaaay better than my Linux box (XP,
P4), but like many have confirmed, the W10 box --which is infinitely
faster-- is also a security nightmare! ;)

Ophelia. My name's not Max. I was referring to the previous sentence when
I said to use about 1 TBSP of roux when thickening the consomme. I meant
maximum of 1 TBSP.
But if you like it thicker...
