I once phoned up a call center. The voice on the other end was pure pseudo English though. No foreign accent. But the person could only mumble. I wonder who would give him a job dealing with the public. I kept asking him to repeat himself, and he got really offended and hung up on me. I wasn't being mean, I just needed to hear proper English. It doesn't have to be perfect, but to call the NG reader Outlook Express 'loof'. I finally thought that he meant 'outlook'. That somehow translates into 'loof'. Too much time since childhood spent on electronic devices. |

Too much time since childhood spent on electronic devices. The very few times I do have to call some company and the voice on the other end is heavily Indian accented I cringe before I can even state my business. One of these days companies will learn that just because their customer service representatives CAN speak English doesn't mean they are speaking English that can be understood by the average American. When I'm connected with someone who can barely be understood I ask for someone who can speak better English or someone located in the USA. |

A few years ago when I was working for a call center here in STL for 1800-Comcast and we were All agents in training during a break once I was joking that we should FEIGN an Indian or Chinese accent when answering calls!

I watch many travel shows and documentaries and find them very interesting. It is still not the same as walking into a 600 year old building and marveling at the details of construction, the carvings, the sculptures. One of the most satisfying things for my wife was walking down the same street in Paterno Italy as her father and grandfather did a hundred years ago. I was glad I was able to give her that experience also. Sure, a year would be great but a few weeks can be enlightening, especially if you get away from the main tourist attractions. |

My ancestors did > the same. Even Jill's beloved Scottish ancestors sucked. heheh Well, it's not as if some of the native people weren't screwing over each other. They were not one big group who were all getting along. They were often at war with each other. The native people of the Niagara area were wiped out in a conflict between the Huron and the Iroquois before the Europeans arrived here. Cortez had only a handful of soldiers but recruited a much larger army from local tribes to defeat the Aztec empire. The Aztec had been incredibly oppressive and the others got tired of having to hand over all their wealth and so many of their children, who were being sacrificed. |

Shhhhhhhhh, you're confusing Gary with facts. Shame on you! To hear Gary's tale you'd think they were all living in one giant teepee as one big happy family. Some tribes were quite ruthless and brutal to other tribes and that's only because they could be. The 'white man' was not the only who could be warlike and brutal but never let facts get in the way of truth. |

A very good work of fiction is 'The Orenda' by Joseph Boyden. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Orenda |

I buy milk in 4 liter bags.... actually a bag of three 1.3 liter bags. Each of those bags will keep me going for at least a week. I get lactose free milk and it has a long shelf life. |

I buy, usually a gallon of milk per week. Sometimes I will have a bit less than a half gallon left then I will buy a half gallon and pour it into the gallon container. Needless to say, I drink a lot of milk; always have. |

A heaping teaspoon of salt on butter toast could be delicious, but be sure to use unsalted butter. |

Nor have I but I'm going to try it. One of the good things of eating a good potato chip is the hit of salt you get. This would be similar. Finishing salt is course and give a little crunch to the food too. |

When I butter and run a split English muffin under the broiler it gets a mere dusting of salt when it comes out. Really adds to the flavor and it's not overly salty or briny. |

I have very positive memories of my childhood with a stay at home mom, and not such pleasant memories of early school years. If you decide to have children you should be prepared to raise them and not farm them them out to be watched by others. |

Yes, some people have them and have low wage jobs that one income would not support them. There are many others where one spouse could stay home and make some tough sacrifices. Like drive a Chevy instead of a BMW. Or live in a 2000 sq ft house instead of a 5,000. Or take a couple of day trips for vacation instead of a week at Disney. Often it is not "need" but priorities. |

Some parents should not be allowed near their kids and care takers are really good influences in their development. Not all day care is quality though. At least once a month it seems some day care worker is locked up for child abuse. |
