Hi Michael,

 ML> If one approaches marriage without emotional or ethical
 ML> attachment, it could be that easy. Kids, that complicates
 ML> things.
 RH> Hard to go inot anything like that without any sort of emotional
 RH> attachment tho. Also, depending on your upbringing, ethical
 RH> attachments, especially if kids are involved.

 ML> I've spent much of my life among people who would claim or at
 ML> least aspire to avoid those attachments. It's not necessarily
 ML> so, in real life, but I can imagine societies where such issues
 ML> were largely absent. The communes of the '60s and '70s aspired,
 ML> but then there was the ego issue, with scents of dominance and
 ML> submission and alpha beta nonsense. What I've heard about the
 ML> Israeli kibbutzes, there was considerable success, but couples
 ML> who started out no strings attached often ended up monogamous
 ML> and committed.

Can't help but have strings attached after a bit of time. Some of them
turn into ropes, others go into threads that fray and break. Steve and I
have a pretty good rope now after 38 years. (G)


 ML> Happened to me. My form came back with a big X through it,
 ML> but I still got to cut the line, and the "questioning"
 ML> took about thirty seconds; during the whole procedure the
 ML> regular line (hundreds of people) had barely moved.
 RH> Sounds like it worked well then. Hopefully this will be your first and
 RH> last test of the system.

 ML> I'm going to "test" the system twice in the next couple months;
 ML> I anticipate both myself and the system as passing.

Fun and joy of modern technology. Where are you heading to next?


 ML> The PreCheck system did flunk me, as I knew it would - but the
 ML> weird thing is that it gave me two boarding passes at the same
 ML> time - one flunking, one passing. I think they're using me to
 ML> test the system as the new open-to-the-public version is being
 ML> rolled out.

Sounds like a test, but giving 2 boarding passes? The failed one should
come with a note on it to see someone who can clarify the situation or
just jot a big OK on it. Modern technology at its finest. (G)

 RH> This was on the menu board at my mom's facility one day but listed as
 RH> "Sheperd's Pie".

 ML> I've also seen "shepard's" or even as below.

 ML>       Title: Shepards Pie
 ML>  Categories: Ethnic, Beef, Veal, Pork/ham
 ML>       Yield: 4 servings

Illiterate shepherd's or just those that write up the recipe. My dad,
the old newspaperman, cringed when he saw the menu board. At one time he
would have taken to task whoever wrote it up for misspelling. He's aged
beyond that now but still doesn't like to see it.
