Ärende: trees & vinegar
=======================
Hi Hap,

->  hn> "monthly profits". My bet is that most
->  hn> landlords opt for "monthly profits".

-> Could well be so.  The tree isn't completly dead; the crown is still
-> green.  We figure it got hit by lightning which killed part, but not all
-> of it.  Because it still has some green, the landlord doesn't want it
-> taken out.  He has several properties in Wake Forest that are vacant now
-> so his income has dropped a bit.

 hn> The bottom line usually makes the decision (grin)

Yes, and for a lot of people, the bottom line isn't what it was, even a
year ago.

->  hn> I like the taste of vinegar so for me
->  hn> that's no downside. I add dill pickle
->  hn> juice to my potato salad as well.

-> I don't mind some vinegar but the straight shot of it was rough.  It is
-> moderated in things like potato salad and pickles which makes it easier
-> to take.  Try drinking a couple of ounces straight up. (G)

 hn> Can and have done it before. Never for
 hn> cramps though...

It's not my idea of a "first thing in the morning" drink for me.  Yes,
it was an eye opener but I'd rather open my eyes with a glass of orange
juice or mug of tea.

->  hn> huge "peer pressure" from the Korean
->  hn> community to stay within that community.

-> I suspect it's the kids and first generation born in the USA that break
-> away easier.  That seems to hold with most any group of immmigrants, no
-> matter what country or time period they come here.

 hn> Yep and that's happening...but not so
 hn> fast as you'd imagine. Most Koreans make
 hn> their kids go to "Korean School" as well as
 hn> "regular" school.

I've read about it with the Japanese and some Jewish groups as well.
Some of the kids from that generation rebel and don't teach  their
children anything about their native culture.  Then those children, when
they become adults, tend to try to "rediscover" their family heritage.

-> I keep reminding him that the instructors aren't "out to get him" but
-> are "out to get him thru" seminary. (G)

 hn> The opposite of the Army which tries to
 hn> "weed out" the ones who won't make it.
 hn> I'm sure Steve will do well once he gets
 hn> settled into the routine! (grin)

He is; he just finished re-reading for his philosophy class later this
afternoon.  He's convinced that some people have way too much time on
their hands and use it to come up with some of the theories of reasoning
that he has to learn.  Some sound so confusing that I told him that they
weee probably thought of by lawyers.
