===================
Hi Michael!


->  -> Bulgogi and kalbi are wonderful things - I could eat my life away
->  -> with them, and I'm not even Korean.

->  HN> You're too obviously scandinavian to pass....however if I squint my
->  HN> eyes just right when I look in the mirror .....I don't look Korean
->  HN> either (grin) But I do like the food!
-> 
-> Hot, meaty, sesame-y, what could be bad?
-> 
not much other than price in my book...seems like there's never an 
inexpensive Korean Restaurant.

->  -> 20.99 for ayce if it's good is not a huge thing, especially with the
->  -> massive beef option.
->  HN> Lets just say I got my money's worth out of the visit....
-> 
-> After that first veggie-only trip, you must have put the
-> fear of roundeyes back in those folks!
-> 
I'm not up to my former glory....but I tried.....I tried!

->  HN> I'd just as soon not have that experience if you don't mind
->  HN> Tomorrow is my Union Picnic...and even though I am retired now
->  HN> I'm still expected to show up and do all the cooking...So tomorrow
->  HN> I'll be cooking ribs, steaks, chicken, and maybe even a few hotdogs
->  HN> and burgers too! I wonder how much meat we'll have tomorrow?
-> 
-> Didn't we discuss this many years ago? A couple pounds a person,
-> about a third to half a ton of meat?
-> 
I cooked most of the day.....15 slabs of ribs (all eaten by 2pm), 20 cases of 
steak (sirloin) at 20 lbs each...all eaten, 15 cases of ground beef patties 
at 20lb/case all eaten but half of the last one, 4 cases of hot dogs at 10 
lbs/case I brought the last one home, 100lbs chicken parts all gone by noon. 
10 watermelons, 20lbs grapes, 6 cantaloupes, 6 honeydews (all went into a 
fruit salad). 15 pounds of baked beans (Bush's) and 10 pounds each of 
coleslaw, potato salad, and macaroni salad (Resers). I have no idea how many
bags of chips or cases of beer/pop/bottled water we went through. I had two 
burgers with cheese, one steak sandwich, one beer, one sixpack of coke zero, 
and two pieces of chicken (I HAD to see if they were done didn't I? (Grin))
-> ==
-> 
->  HN> And I'm sure you could put the money to better use somewhere
->  HN> else....like a retirement fund or something (grin)
-> 
-> I checked recently - a whopping $22000 in my retirement fund ...
-> 
Well, it's better than $200!

->  HN> When I buy the ticket (when I remember to buy a ticket, which is
->  HN> seldom), I buy it for the fantasy value..and usually don't remember to
->  HN> check the ticket for a few weeks....thereby increasing the fantasy
->  HN> value of the ticket immeasurably! 
-> 
-> Especially when the news stories come out saying, nobody has
-> claimed the ten billion first prize - lottery officials say
-> the winning ticket was sold at a souvenir shop in Freighthouse
-> Square, Tacoma ...
-> 
yeah don't I wish! LOL

->  HN> Sadly I know two people who have won at lotto....which means my odds
->  HN> have gotten astronomically worse than the astronomically horrid odds I
->  HN> originally had! 
-> 
-> Doesn't affect the odds at all! Anyhow, I don't think it's
-> random. Karma, dogma, whatever, but some people have better
-> luck than others.
-> 
Like I said, when my ship comes in..........

->  HN> But I do buy a ticket now and again....for the fantasy value of it! I
->  HN> looked at real estate in the Bodega Bay and Sebastopol areas....I'll
->  HN> NEED to win a lottery to afford a place down there! A "manufactured"
-> 
-> Or become a predatory monster or something.
-> 
->  HN> home, one that gets delivered in two halves by truck...on a regular
->  HN> sized lot...485,000 clams! And that ain't chowdah! The places I really
->  HN> liked however (with vinyards!!!) were over 1.8mil.....sigh and it even
->  HN> had a studio space too! (grin)
-> 
-> Holy frijoles ...
-> 
yeah that's about what I said! 
chat with you soon
