When you're married to an intelligence person, a bit tends to rub off.

 CS>  Hey, buying my second jar of mayo since getting stateside.

Dukes?  That's teh only kind I buy if I can get it, as I can here in GA.

It's not in my genes either but having had it at various pot lucks, I
now do it myself from time to time.

It was to me too & still is.

 CS> Naw, always felt if you didnt want it all, let it go.  Baggie up what

We always had to eat everything when I was a kid--Dad remembered the
Depression too well.  We used smaller portions with the girls but
encouraged they eat it all. Tried not to do too many dislikes but
overall, they aren't too fussy about what they eat now (except Deborah &
liver).

I know, I've been reading here long enough to remember you discussing
it.

 CS> Hearing loss to eh?  5% here.  Normal for my rate.  It was the big air

His was from several things, including the generators needed to keep
things up and running during field exercises.

Suspect it's very convenient at times. (G)

BTW, a groundhog is the same critter as a woodchuck, just a differnt
name.  Where I grew up, they're more commonly known as the latter; in a
certain part of PA, they're known as the former, especially on Feb. 2.
