Snicker, now you opened the gates!  We can pick on you all we want!

Think of fish as like as different from one another as chicken and beef are,
and you can see the humor in my mind's eye.

This also speaks to me of a deeper issue.  USA fish is normally sold so far
past fresh, that it _can_ be hard to tell the difference unless you live right
on the coast, and even then it's not a given at the supermarkets.

Unlike some here though, I think farmed catfish and trout are fine as i know
how to adapt around such in my cookery.  I even know how to work with farmed
frozen catfish as thats all we have here in Sasebo.

Usually she stays overnight at least 3 times a year along with some of the
kids.  While I was away at least once, she added Charlotte to the overnight
bunch.

It would be horrid to to be unset in my ways on that!  I can't say I'm aways
the life of the party sort of person, but i do like to have fun and tend to
find it wherever I am, or make it if I start getting bored.

I do believe the term 'boisterous' might fit me well?
