Hi Janis,

I need to get back into it too. Most of the writing I do now is here.

 JK> That's too much.. :)

That was one stupid cat!  But, he didn't have the intense love of
popcorn that either our first cat (Inge) or our cocker spaniel (Sam)
did.  Either one of them would pester us until we'd put down a handful
for them--and then come back for more once that was gone.

What can I say? (G)

The selection wasn't as vast as a Wegman's (We've enjoyed going to them
up near where Steve's family lives.) but we could get the things the
commissary didn't sell.  Sometimes I'd pick up the German version of
things I could get in the commissary because I knew they would be
better, unless the commissary sold that brand as well, which they did
with a few things.

Yes, and it gets cold there in winter. (G)

Yes, but we couldn't pull up the things we didn't like--oops, I thought
that was a weed--(G) either.

As they do most al of the time in the states, or at least the main land.
In HI there was a variety of treats, not all of them on the sweet side.
