Yup, I started using Usenet as a tool, also. Now, it's a toy; though still
valuable for research. And an interesting insight of the human condition.

My phone set "talks" to me ("You have an incoming call"). It freaks
people out, but it's the only thing that gets my attention. I've
noticed that some people have a real telephone ring on their cells. I
don't have that option on mine, but I may on a new phone.

A telephone "ring" was the default that came with mine.

My phone isn't new, it's more than a little old. I qualified for $100
rebate when most users get only $50.

I only started using a cellphone when I discovered Tracfone. May of 2007.

Before that, I could not afford one!

I pour a new gallon into three 1 qt. Rubbermaid bottles, not quite
full, of course. One quart is always the 'working' one in the
fridge. When it's half gone, or I know I ;, going to need a bigger
quantity of milk, I pull one from the freezer and let it thaw for 24
hours in the fridge, or on the counter for an hour or two. Be sure to
give it a good shaking tho - there is some separation. I make my own
yogurt, so I do go thru milk pretty fast.

Wow - with your prices, I'd be augmenting my milk supply with the
powdered stuff - at least for cooking.

if you have *lots* of money, cocaine can also come in pounds. (though i
understand from watching t.v. that the 'hip' unit is kilos.)

If they were *that* honest, they would know that an ounce has just a bit
more than 28 grams
