It was to be the starch for an Indian meal. We ate them
anyway, using them to scoop up curry in a chip and dip
type manner, and the audience was pretty forgiving.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and the symptoms are right
for it, according to him.

Tomorrow.

I wouldn't be surprised at a common source for some things,
but on the other hand as the two companies aren't competitors,
there's no reason not to cross-purchase as well.

 ML>> beer choice, which is Yuengling Light.
 NB>> Sometimes there really is no accounting for tastes...  :)
 ML> I've become accustomed to it - it doesn't seem to do anything

 ML> water. Of course, it costs over 50c a can. Of course, bottled
 ML> water costs about as much.
 NB> So it works out to be a wash....  (G)  And doesn't mess with your
 NB> blood sugar, which I suppose is a plus...  :)

To make Yuengling Light palatable, though, it must be
consumed with either German food or large quantities of
salty crunchy snacks, which tends to defeat the purpose
of the lightness. Shortly before Billy died, he ordered
several pounds of fried pork rinds in a fit of optimism. I
actually got tired of pork rinds, and the rest got binned.
