-> 
-> Why does the law require butt-covering for the pharmacy?
-> I'd prefer one forbidding same.
-> 
If something gets screwed up (they put estrogen pills in your niacin
bottle, for example) there are records of same.  They also have to prove
that all the Vicodin and Percocets and the like went where they were
supposed to, if someone with a Federal or state warrant ever comes looking.

->  -> with mint, except chocolate or maybe chewing gum and other
->  -> things that start with ch.
->  RH> What about toothpaste?  I've only found one or two that weren't
mint.
-> 
-> A bunch of cinnamon-flavored ones, the occasional licorice

They're usually cinnamon-mint mixes, unless I missed something (and they're
more disgusting than the mint flavors in my opinion).

-> one, various Tom's type disgusting-tasting herbals, and so
-> on. Most are as you say minty fresh, because in the last
-> 100 years or so the idea has been inculcated into our culture
-> that mint = good breath. Far cry from the Mikado, whose Lord
-> High Executioner (in 1885) threatens to do away with "plenty of
-> people whose loss will be a distinct gain to society at large"
-> including "the people who eat peppermint and puff it in your
-> face."

I'm with him.  I tried the Tom's mint once...and not twice.  I've never
seen the licorice one, but kiddie toothpaste comes in bubblegum.  
 
->  RH> 14400 wasn't bad - it was the 1200BPS connections that were a tad
->  RH> slow. 
-> 
-> I used to use a 300 acoustically coupled one when working at the
-> hospital when I was in graduate school. Sometimes it stepped down
-> to 110, which was annoying, as that was slower than I could type.
-> But that was text only; 14400 for anything beyond text only is
-> excruciating.

Been there, done that.  I never used the acoustic modems; I've seen a few
in the movies but that's about all.  
 
->  -> Spoken like another mathophobe.
->  RH> Hardly - just someone with a hatred of repetitive learning.
-> 
-> But as others here have pointed out, the tyro stages of just
-> about any discipline involve building skill sets largely using
-> rote. I'm not so fond of repetitititive learning myself, but
-> there it is.

True - which is why school gets such a bad rap.  Repeating something until
you've mastered it is one thing; having to repeat it until the teacher is
satisfied everyone around you has it down is a whole different ball game.
It was one of the reasons I hated kindergarten.  I'd catch on to something
in 10 minutes, and then the teacher would spend a week repeating the drill
ad nauseum.  
 
-> Here's a recipe with something to offend everyone:
-> 
-> Beet and Danish blue cheese salad

What a waste of blue cheese....

-> cat: salad
-> servings: 10 to 12
-> 
-> 1/2 red onion, sliced thin
-> 3 Tb red wine vinegar
-> 1 lb beets, cooked, peeled
-> 1 c Danish blue, crumbled
-> 
-> Marinate onion in vinegar for 30 min to 4 hr.
-> 
-> Cut beets into batons; arrange on a serving
-> dish; pour onions and vinegar over and mix
-> gently. Top with cheese.
