Terranews isn't free. It's a $4 setup fee:

"Due to the overwhelming response to our free account offer and
the costs associated with verifying credit card information we
have begun charging a one time setup fee of $3.95."

Color me cornfused. Why do they need to verify credit card
information if it's a "free" account? Sounds like a Catch-22.
They might as well advertise "Free Porn(*)".

Also - they put annoying tag-lines on all (most?) of your posts,
advertising their "free" Usenet access.

Annoying to whom? I paid $3.95 seven years ago, and have used Teranews ever
since with some regularity. It's the most I've ever paid for Usenet.

My lunchtime drinking companion also also has type 2 diabetic and he was
telling me about his sausage sarni that he had after his round of golf
this morning. He regularly orders a half portion of chips as a snack
along with his 2 pints. I can't weigh up how he gets on with diabetis.

Oh wait! A few months ago, I had Eggs Benedict. For some reason,
it came with fries. I tried the obvious, and it was really good!
(Note that the Hollandaise Sauce was quite lemony, which might
be a critical factor.)

My BIL is also type 2 diabetic. He and my SIL visited us a few years ago.
Shortly before their scheduled arrival and before I went to the grocery
store I asked him about his diet. He informed me (rather abruptly) that he
ate what he'd always eaten and why did I ask. I was trying to be
considerate, but apparently I insulted him.

Ugh, tell me about it. I got a nasty email from a coworker of mine who
overheard me say "goddamnit" when my plastic spoon broke while trying to
get a bite of half-frozen chicken salad (the fridge at work is way too
cold).

Apparently I took "the Lord's" name in vain. I replied that I was sorry
she was offended by anything she had overheard me say to myself, but
also that I did not have a "Lord" and did not appreciate her
proselytizing. Since when do Christians have a monopoly on the word
"god"?

I totally want to hang up a huge pentagram in my cubicle where she can
see it.

Saerah (if she had said she was offended by my use of the word "damn", I
probably would not be so annoyed.)

I doubt she'd know who either of them was. If she can have bible
quotations pinned up around her cubicle, I see no reason why I can't put
something significant to *my* spiritual development up.

Though it would be mostly to **** her off; I've dabbled in neo-pagan
stuff, but have since come to the realization that while I think there
are truisms in most religions, *faith* in the existence (as opposed to
*belief*) in a "higher power" is not necessarily one of them. I'd like
to believe that the universe has a purpose, but I can't justify the
atrocities our species has caused to happen and also believe in an
immanent god. I have a lot of respect for people with genuine faith, on
the occasions when it inspires them to do good works. I have to say this
seems to be the minority, however.

so really isn't that long)

I once had a co-worker who had a bad religion problem and complained because I
told him to **** off whenever tried preaching at me and I came out on top. He
was a lazy SOB who spent all day preaching to everyone instead of working. We
were in a department whose days were numbered and I was trying to get out,
applying for every job opening that came up.

I got to the point where I figured the best way to get transferred was to
raise a stink. I filed a complain against him for religious harassment.
During his last rant at me he really lost it and was yelling and screaming at
me that I was going to go to hell, and I had more than 30 witnesses. My poor
boss didn't quite know what to do. He was stuck between my and my well founded
religious harassment and the preacher's constant racial discrimination
complaints ( his old job as telephone operator was eliminated when they got an
automated telephone system like everyone else was doing back then).

It worked. I had an interview for the latest position I had applied for. The
base salary was $8,000 more than my old job and another $2,000 when I
finished my training and probationary period, and then, thanks to an ongoing
classification grievance the next year we were awarded a retroactive $15,000
raise. By the time the classification grievance went through the old facility
was shut down and everyone else was laid off.

Sometimes those religious fanatics can lead to good things happening :-)

Just a short distance from vinegar to lemon juice...the 'juice' at the
kebab places isn't just lemon juice but have never worked out what else
is in it. Weirdly enough the chips are good with lime juice and salt
too

Well, she isn't quite so overt about it. Mostly I've just found it
annoying. I wonder what she would have done if I had said "Jesus
tapdancing christ" instead of "goddamnit".

Tomorrow I gotta go with another coworker of mine (who is Christian, but
not the in-your-face kind) to talk to the woman organizing the yearly
picnic about how inappropriate we think the organized 'grace' (during
which we were 'shushed' last year) is. I remember saying how
uncomfortable it made me last year to a different coworker and she was
all "well, it was non-denominational, what's the problem?". What kills
me is that most of these people are really nice and will think we are
huge jerks for "preventing" them from saying their prayer. But it's

Someone once opined that belief is blindly clinging to what one was
taught, while true faith requires openess and acceptance to what one
experiences and learns to be true. He mighta been wrong though.

That was another problem with the preacher man at work. Whenever there was
some sort of function with a meal he would get up and give a long rambling
grace. I ran the social club and we used to go out for lunch on Dec. 24, I
was going around getting names of those planning to attend and a number of
people said they did not want him saying grace, some even saying they would
not go if he was giving the grace. I made arrangements for someone else to
do it and then approached preacher man and explained it very nicely to him.

When we went to the Christmas Eve luncheon the guy I had asked to do the
grace got up and gave a nice short one. Everyone was ready to eat and then
preacher man gets up at the front of the room, gets everyone's attention and
proceeds to say another grace. Everyone was looking at me to do something,
so I went up and said "Excuse me, but I asked you not to do this" and he
said that I had asked him to.

When we got back to the shop he was furious with me. " How dare you
interrupt me when I am preaching." to which I replied "How dare you start
preaching at an event that I have planned". It was downhill from there. Come
to think of it, that was about a month and a half before I laid the formal
complaint of religious harassment, ended up with a much better job, one in a
department that was never privatized, and with a huge raise. The lord works
in mysterious ways.

Oh goody, a chance to complain about a co-worker! LOL But seriously, I
worked with a woman who would send out mass emails at work almost daily
offering little prayers and bits of Christian "wisdom" to a large number of
people. She was genuinely confused (and upset) when someone from HR told
her (a) that's not what the company email server is for and (b) not everyone
who works there is a Christian and some people found her emails offensive.

Oh! You are leading to wild thoughts here--like the Southeast

to be THINKING of chips (French fries).

I worked with a woman who was aggressively christian. Never missed a
chance to tell anybody who didn't buy her brand that they were going to
hell, let alone what would happen to godless heathens like myself. And
she was racist as all get out, to put the cherry on the shit pie.

When her daughter became engaged at least The Wedding overtook
JesusChristOurSavior as her main topic of conversation. When she
announced that two of her grandchildren were to be included in the
wedding party as the "miniature bride and groom" (this, in addition to
the flower girl and ringer bearer), I commented how cool I thought it
was that her daughter had chosen to embrace multiculturalism in her
ceremony.

Somewhat uneasily (she had worked with me for several years by then) she
inquired as to what I meant. I told her it was an ancient african
tradition to include a pair of children in the marriage ceremony, that
they served as decoys, to draw bad luck and evil spirits away from the
nuptial pair.

I was gratified to see the color in her face head south, probably ending
up pooled somewhere around her cankles.

I didn't receive an invitation to the happy event, but I heard from
those who attended that the ceremony included an extra prayer and
blessing for the miniature bride and groom.

I would have CC'd it to HR and complained of Religious Harassment.

I travel through downtown every day and get religiously harassed
all the time.

Which ones are the Mexican folks who pass out the 'Watchtower'
magazines? They seem gravitated towards me because they mistake
me for a Mexican. Normally they don't talk to White people -
we're to smart to fall for that shit.

That's a joke, right? "we" whites are too smart?

The Watchtower is the Jehovah's Witnesses publication. They are an
American evangelical church that has long expressed a desire to
"transcend" ethnicity and nationalism, by which I suppose they mean
they didn't want to stay a white American church. The focus of
proselytizing efforts has more to do with ignorance and poverty than
it does with race. -aem

I have the high end model as well. Just about anything can be put into the
bags-although I do tend to make a mess with liquids.
One thing I have found-use the pre-formed bags. When freezing veggies, the
'make it yourself' bags can on occasion lose their seal.
Often I make blanched veggies, cool and then shrink-wrap for my girlfriend
who can't boil water without writing it down (tho she makes dynamite ribs-go
figure). She will then take them and drop into boiling water for a few
minutes.
I generally do not season veggies first-that's the eaters job.
FS says you can wash and reuse their bags-I primarily use them for meats so
I don't bother.
Veggies such as cauliflower, broccoli (or broccolini), beans, peas, etc work
well if blanched. Brussels sprouts do not-they get mushy when reheated.
I have tried Cuban Oregano-due to its size and thickness-with little loss
when defrosted-just make sure it is very dry when packaging.
I would imagine that with fruits such as grapes, freeze them first, then
package, to prevent squishing them.

You can also make something like a pasta primavera-pasta and veggies already
mixed-that works pretty well.

I do not know where you live, but tomatoes are very late here as well
(Northeast), and they are expensive and not very tasty. Of my tomato plants,
the yellow beefsteaks, grapes and pears are fine now, with the reds just
starting. We are knee-deep in beans though and peppers are just starting.

Actually, the joke was was the "TO smart".

Then why do they consistently come door to door on weekends asking

I once had a xtian woman colleague who would often call in sick on Fridays
or Mondays so that she could do church work. She couldn't see the
dishonesty in her actions.
There was also a Moron ("m" deliberately left out) who was paid a mileage
allowance when he ran errands in his car. Another Moron found out and was
most upset becase he wasn't declaring this "income" to the church for
titheing.
