-> -> So I've read. Still, school work trumps tv around here.
-> 
->  RH> True (sigh).
-> 
-> Neccessary fact of life around here.  I'll take time to read the daily
-> paper but not have the tv on for hours on end. Closest to that I ever
-> did was when we got Food Network while in Savannah; Sunday nights after
-> church it went on at 8 & off about 11:15.  Also, Sept. 11, 01 it went on
-> about 3:20am, off about 11:30pm.  The next few days it went on a few
-> hours later but off at about the same time.
-> 
Were you watching it that whole time?  I hope not!  
-> 
->  RH> I've had their hot chocolate. It's not as good as they think it is.
->  RH> The black coffee at McDonald's is just as good as theirs and a lot
->  RH> cheaper. Then again mine is as good as that, and even cheaper.
-> 
-> And I don't drink coffee so we just pay for what Steve wants.  Most of
-> the time it's at home so it's relatively inexpensive.
-> 
I figure I can brew my own for the cost of the filters and Job Lot coffee,
most of which is pretty good and about half what the supermarket charges.
I can keep myself in caffeine for a month for what it would cost to buy it
out for about five days.  
 
-> -> I never tried it.  Our dorms had basic kitchens, with actual pots you
-> -> could cook in.
-> 
->  RH> Ours barely had working power outlets my freshman year.  Two blow
->  RH> dryers on the same side of the hall could blow a fuse.
-> 
-> 
-> The first dorm I was in had some of the kitchens on the side that was
-> built into the hill.  Those would set off the smoke detector, usually
-> when the toaster was used.

My old hard-wired smoke detector here in the house went off a few times
when I took a shower.  
 
-> -> good job of getting rid of gunk and is good for the environment.  We
-> -> actually use a number of their products around the house.
-> 
->  RH> I'm not sure if I've ever seen it. I used to get a different kind,
but
->  RH> was told tests proved it didn't actually do much.
-> 
-> Depends on what the alternative is.  If they used a chemical soup of
-> unnatural ingredients as a wash, I'd take the Citrus Magic.

I'd just peel the apple. :-)
 
->  RH> The message came through loud and clear.  My two will eat real
lamb,
->  RH> but not the canned stuff.  Someone once told me that this no-filler
->  RH> rabbit
->  RH> flavored cat food would be gobbled by any cat that liked fresh
rabbit.
->  RH> Guess again.  She ate it, but wasn't thrilled; fortunately it was a
->  RH> free sample bag.  I went back to Science Diet pretty quickly.
-> 
-> Cats can be picky eaters or eats anything type--go figure.

Cats are designed that way.  I used to use one of mine as a food tester. If
I had something questionable in the fridge, I'd offer a bit to the cat. If
he turned his nose up at people meat, it went into the trash.  
 
-> BTW, talked to my parents around 6pm; they had a couple of feet of
-> heavy, wet snow from the latest storm but still had their power.
-> 
Brother.  They get two feet, I get stuff that melts when it hits.  No fair! 
We got enough to cover the ground last night, but it didn't stick past
10AM.
