He's still here (same commercial) but not as frequent as before that
traditional enrollment date ended (Dec.7)

Well, you have almost a year to work on her with that. heheh
 
Perhaps I can find a preview of what you'll see to help convince her to
agree.
 
I'll have to walk back into the bedroom to Google it unless maybe Cindy
will look it up for me. lol

I have a desk in each bedroom. I could keep it there but I prefer my old
computer desk in the family room. So sue me. Only 17 steps from one desk
to the other carrying a laptop. No big deal.
 
Also, what's "shitty" about high-speed internet access?
It's 54 Mps vs the old dial-up 52 Bps
The "free" part certainly doesn't disturb me.
 
The shitty internet access was the dial-up that I paid $25 per month
for. That ended Nov.23 Even with that one, staying online or going
offline made no difference in cost.

Pat Boone was still alive when I was young. Buddy Holly died when I was
2 years old.

If they even know it, they'll think that's about a chocolate bar.

They might in your town. Not in the USA. I'm not even sure what a Mars bar is. I do know what the Mars candy company is. The founder of that company opened up a chocolate factory in the middle of the dessert. That's just crazy enough to work!

Perhaps not kids nowadays, but I've eaten plenty of Mars bars. Usually on
the days following Halloween.

Put five thousand of these enlightened souls together on a previously
deserted island without outside interference, and the strangest rules will
soon emerge, maybe even a new religion. Take it to the bank.

Hey that's us you're talking about! The Hawaiians lived in a paradise without disease or health problems. There were lots of gods and war however. That's the breaks.

That's how much they're going for on their website. 8 bottles for
$80.

Out West, my preferred crab is fresh Dungeness. They´re best bought in
months with an R in it. One crab feeds one person. They´re sold whole, so
cleaning, cracking and picking them apart is an adventure best done with a
bib.

I love Dungeness crabs, once nearly bought one online express delivery
(we don't have them round our coastline) then felt it was excessive to
spend that much on a single meal :( To me, they are the only crabs
worth eating.

That would be pounds. That's the fatty belly section of the tuna. There's not a whole lot of meat like that on the fish. I wouldn't have any idea how to cut that piece. It would be like cutting a diamond. They say that the meat melts in your mouth like butter. Fat chance that I'll ever be able to get me a piece!

Pounds, of course. Of which there are 2.2 per kilogram. The arithmetic
is left as an exercise for the student.

You're such high maintenance people. And then you think you invented

I don't think a Jap chef would like that quality.

I have always wanted to eat Beluga caviar just once. I like lumpfish and
salmon caviar, but even they are ridiculously expensive.
Alas, I don´t run with the truffles and saffron crowd, and my intrinsic
cheapness forbids my desire. I haven´t tasted scotch for fifty years but
would love a bottle, or even a shot, of Johnnie Walker Blue Label.
Nope.

My friend gave my son a whole bunch of old booze that his father had in the cabinet. My dad had some scotch that he saved for special occasions. Then they died and nobody's interested in the stuff. Don't let that happen to you! Drink up while you still can. These days, if I need some booze for cooking, I check my son's room first. :)
