Shouldn't be posted - at the very least. Sorry, Carol, but any other
repetitive announcement would be pounced upon by one, all, many, most,
or some as spam. Victor posts a reminder to the FAQ file what, once a
week? Once a month? Great; that's directly related to the group. Why
don't y'all develop a group mailing list and email each other to a
faretheewell. I don't give a rat's tail who's chatting or isn't.
Maybe my attitude would improve with estrogen but I doubt it.

OB Dinner:
Baked stuffed pork chop from von Hanson's market
Brussels sprouts from the co-op this afternoon. Whoops, I cooked and
ate them already. Too bad, so sad.
Green beans from the co-op
Green salad with balsamic and maybe that avocado oil from TJ Maxx.
