Not by the strict definition. But except for the "dependent on a single
export", yes, I think we qualify.

It's just that I don't know of any other western country where a head
of state who commits high treason and mismanagement on a regular basis
stays in power.

High treason?

Not going to go back and dig it up, but there was recently a news
article about an American health insurance exec who has changed teams
and admitted that he lied to Americans and American politicians about
the Canadian health care system.

Yeah, but him and the little wife are worth about $40 million now, and they spend their time shuttling between their luxury residences and hobnobbing with the coastal elites...
 
One has to wonder if the Obamas took the dangers of "global warming" into consideration when they bought that $12 million Nantucket Island spread...hmmm...??? I wonder if they ever think about "the folks" in the slums of American's inner cities, too...
 
But they are mere pikers compared to the Clintoons, the "Bonnie & Clyde" of the modern US political era - they clock in at around a cool $120 million...

Better than having to wash a dish. The paper plates we buy at BJs
cost $10 for a carton of 1,000, a penny each, which costs less than
washing a dish... and those paper plates are still good for feeding
cats before tossing in the trash. We often eat from those paper
plates, and since they are uncoated they absorb fats from fried foods,
cuts down on empty calories.
I think that those who live alone and insist on eating everything from
dinnerware makes them feel like they are serving company and not all
alone.
I often slice bread on a small cutting board, build a sandwich on the
cutting board and eat it off the cutting board... slice cheese,
veggies, and fruit on the cutting board... only a small board and a
small knife to wash. I learned to do that from a family from Belgium,
each family member had their own small cutting board.

I very often use a piece of used printer paper folded in half or
quarters as a spoon rest. I save a stack of used printer paper to use
the unprinted side to print my crossword puzzles... afterwards it's
good for a spoon rest. I learned to do that with paper years ago
before their were printers... brown paper bags were used as scratch
paper and other uses, like book covers.

I use aluminum foil nearly every day. I tear off a six inch wide portion,
fold it in half, and put utensils that I'm using on it. I tear off a
paper towel sized piece and use to season meat or a longer piece to season
ribs. I wrap cooked meatloaf and other foods in it for the fridge. I put it
on cookie sheets when cooking meat on them in the oven to contain meat
juices and ease cleanup. I've even been known to heat up meatloaf in the
oven wrapped in it and cover turkey areas when they are browning too much.
I go through about 400 ft. of regular Reynolds Wrap per year. Oh! And it's
a must for my handmade tinfoil hats!

They are just the right size and very handy. Not too small and not too
large. No leaking either.

I do put my paper plates in the recycling bin along with junk mail and
empty boxes and such.

I do like the coated paper plates and yes, they are good for giving the
cat a tidbit of something after I've eaten off of it. When my neighbors
had dogs they'd get a scrap of something or other or a bone presented
to them on a paper plate I'd eaten off of.

I've got one of those small cutting boards, too. Handy for slicing an
onion or tomato and yes, I've used it as a snack board for myself, too.

Obama was quite divisive. Others have been quite divisive. The
populace is divided in many ways, how can anyone not in some ways be
viewed as "divisive"?

Too late for that. Ronald Reagan nailed it easily for 2 terms.

You forgot the two GMs here.
 
Just like you support JKuthe here due to bullying,
so do I support Trump. What's going on is not fair.
 
Democrats are going nuts and trying everything to make
him look bad in the public eye. I just hope many
americans can see this.
 
Biden might be an ok fellow but I don't like the dirt
being thrown out here at all.
 
It's similar to that "ME TOO" movement that destroyed
many men's careers without any trial to dispute the
claims. I'm sure some claims were valid but then many
copycat claims just by jilted old girlfriends looking
for revenge.

There's a difference between dividing people inadvertently and deliberately.

What have Democrats done except point out and try to hold him
to account for things he's said and done?
 
What single problem has he had that he didn't create for himself?

Nothing, if they have, Gary should think back to repuglicans behaviour
when Clinton was president and they were doing everything they could
think of to impeach him!

Sounds like you tried them raw. I don't think I'd like that either.

I finally narrowed down just when I first came to RFC.
It was the 2nd half of 2011.
Discovered it by looking in my recipe folder, comparing 2
recipes that I had posted. Last one to alt.cooking-chat was
in July 2011, then first one to RFC was in December.
 
I never came here until alt.cooking-chat had died.
That's when SteveW suggested I try RFC and I switched.
SO...I've been here for 8 1/2 to 9 years now.
 
No Sheldon salad pics since then. You do post many garden
produce pics though.

That sounds a bit large for an insulated ice box.
I bought a 20lb block of ice once for a "trash can party." *
It lasted the whole party, then I put it out on the
screen porch where it took another week to finally melt.
No insulation at any time.

I'll bet you Brooklyn air quality was crap back in
those days. No wonder you have bad COPD now.
In the mountains of coal country (at my grandparents)
everyone used coal for cooking stoves and heat.
Even in the open country, that coal smoke would hover in
the valleys and choke you in the winter.
 
* Trash can party:
- Invite about a dozen people + guests (the 20's crowd)
- buy a new LARGE plastic trash can
- set it in the middle of the living room
- fill it up with beer and wine bottles/cans
- top with 20lb block of ice
- add cold water to cover everything
- drape a clean towel on the side to dry arm after
reaching in deep for another *cold* one.
