I've done that before, with products I couldn't get any other way.  I just
got an order of Minor's from Jim's supplier.  The shipping was almost as
much as the product, but since one pound tub lasts about two years I
figured it was worth it.

-> 
-> We usually get the fruited flavors, might check out the honey ones.

The ones with American honey aren't as good; you're better off adding your
own.

They've improved somewhat.  You'll notice I didn't say great, just edible.
I've eaten a lot worse.

-> Could be.  Our Wed. night prayer meetings this month have been turned

I was definitely needed in that capacity. Of course, I did have a generous
host; he shared his cold with me.  It's sending the MS nuts.

-> 
Cool.  We redid part of our building earlier this year.  It needed it
badly.

Why do I suddenly want to start singing Oh God Our Help in Ages Past?

-> Hot dressing+greens=wilted lettuce salad.  Good over mashed potatoes.

Now that's a thought....  I'm not sure I'd do lettuce. Spinach maybe.

-> Tonight we had reubens again, using home smoked pastrami.  This time we

Now you've got my attention!  Kosher dills are one of the best foods on
earth.

-> We got WWVA down south once that I can recall as a kid.  We've had other

I sat here one night years ago at about 1AM, and messed with my cruddy old
stereo to see what was out there.  At that time of night all sorts of
things come in.  I can remember listening to Pittsburgh baseball games as a
kid on a cruddy radio in the basement. KDKA was full of static, but no
worse than New York in the daytime.
 
-> -> Depends on your definition of cheap.  Last cheap new one was the
Honda

-> 
->  RH> That's cheap.  It's also more than my last car was worth.
-> 
-> It was a lot for us at the time.  But, we had that car for 9 years, put
-> 135,000+ miles on it before selling it to one of Steve's sisters.

Who probably sold it to a neighborhood kid, who still has it up on blocks
somewhere.
