I know I'm a nut, and I hate to admit this, but when I got my first
apartment I went out and bought a portable dishwasher before I bought a
sofa. I absolutely loath washing dishes. :-) This probably stems from
never having to wash so much as a glass when I was growing up. We always
had either people and/or machines to do this. The process just wasn't part
of my life.

I still make homemade bath salts for the kids (currently 14 and 18). A
carton of epsom salts, a good squirt of food coloring, a few drops of
something smelly - peppermint extract, perfume, whatever - stir it all
up and put it in a tin with a scoop.

Somehow soaking in a tub of salty pink water that smells like roses is
good for whatever ails you.

Van Camp's Pork and Beans or a can of chili come to mind with hot dogs
on a plate where I live. Although I use catsup in many dishes, I only
insist on it from the bottle on hot meat loaf. I'm for yellow mustard
and finely chopped red onion on a hot dog if I don't have chow chow.

Maybe what was called a "Normal School" back in the day, a teacher training
college...

Still, people put plastic items like spoons and spatulas on the lower level,
then claim they got down there magically.

I never add mayo to bread when I'm making any kind of "salad"
sandwich. I, however, often do use butter as a spread on the bread.
(Grew up with butter, not mayo.)

I do not spread mayo on the bread when making any sort of
mayo-containing salad sandwich. I would be surprised if many
restaurants or delis did this either.

Normally I put the tuna (or whatever) salad down on a dry
piece of bread, place lettuce on top of this, and then
top it with a piece of bread to which I have added a little
olive oil.

There are a few sandwiches that seem to demand mayo spread
on the bread, such as a BLT. Most others, it can be skipped,
for me.

"...if the little ones are prone to bathtime play, food coloring in the
water is much less likely to cause rashes than bubble bath...." Kathleen

I never thought of that, which is kind of strange, considering a big
part of my mis-spent youth included crowding a dozen or more people into
my bathroom, all of us stoned on weed or tripping on acid, dropping food
coloring into the toilet and saying, "AHHHHH!" with each new plop of
color.

Once you get all the colors in and have watched each drop explode and
mingle...you toss in a little Clorox and watch as the color simply
disappears....
Then you say, "Woooooo"
OR, instead of the Clorox, squirt in a little baby oil. This makes the
colors glob toget6her and produces a sort of irridescence. This is
accompanied by saying, en masse, "Whoa! FAR OUT!"

BIG fun. Yes, it's easy to see why they put Stoners in jail. We are
VERY dangerous people.

No extra mayo for salad sandwiches, but then, we put in minced onion
and celery, and a leaf of lettuce.

OK. The CDC is under the misinformation that the primary site for
contracting MRSA IS hospitals, but what do they know.

Lass
http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/ar_mrsa.html
Overview of Healthcare-associated MRSA
Go to Community-Associated MRSA
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a type of bacteria
that is resistant to certain antibiotics. These antibiotics include
methicillin and other more common antibiotics such as oxacillin,
penicillin and amoxicillin. Staph infections, including MRSA, occur most
frequently among persons in hospitals and healthcare facilities (such as
nursing homes and dialysis centers) who have weakened immune systems.
MRSA infections that occur in otherwise healthy people who have not been
recently (within the past year) hospitalized or had a medical procedure
(such as dialysis, surgery, catheters) are known as community-associated
(CA)-MRSA infections. These infections are usually skin infections, such
as abscesses, boils, and other pus-filled lesions. (see...."

I dont want either one of them, personally.

I wish I could remember the TV show...it may have been Oprah and Dr
Oz...or may have been Dr. Phil....whichever, somebody needs to inform
the "guest", (the lady with no arms) that it was "only" MRSA and no big
deal. I know that woould make her feel better.
(prob not as much as winning a multi million dollar law suit against the
hospital will, tho)

actually, MRSA is NOT "flesh eating bacteria" of National Enquirer fame.
You're confused with a type of strep bacteria. The proper
term is "Necrotising Fasciitis" and it is a variant of strep, whereas
MRSA is a type of staph.
Yep I am afraid Lassie needs to read up on this.
This is pretty serious. There's no getting rid of MRSA except to
eventually amputate whatever body part gets infected by it.
Again, inaccurate. Not only can MRSA be treated (Vancomycin is one
antibiotic we use, but even it can become ineffective with overuse) MRSA
is a staph bacteria that mutated from overuse of antibiotics. It is also
COMMONLY found in the community. Community acquired MRSA can be
differentiated via DNA analysis from the hospital acquired type. In fact
we now do surveillance cultures on new traumas to identify who comes IN
with it. Commonly found in areas of shared sports equipment or group
confined spaces, like jails. NEVER have I seen any body part "amputated"
because of it.
"Paranoid?" You say?
One woman checked into the hospital for a planned C-section, ended up
contracting MRSA from the O room...had to have her uterus removed. A few
weeks later, both arms were amputated.
Nothing to do with MRSA
You're confused as to what happened and why, and I don't have time to
explain it. Trust me you're confusing multiple issues here.
********She is! I had Staph Aureus infection in my newly
operated on leg and nearly died. But it didn't eat my leg It was a
common infection. As you will know MRSA is just Methicilin Resistant SA!
Staph. Aureus lives on the skin and I was just unlucky.

I just realized that I rarely use ketchup at all. I put it in my last batch
of "sloppy joe" to get the sweetness my husband likes, and sometimes in bean
soups just to give an appetizing color and a little tang.

Don't tell anybody, but I put mustard on a BLT. It is quite common here
in the South.

For a tuna salad sammiche spreading the bread with mayo is redundant.
I always butter the bread to keep the tuna salad from making the bread
soggy.

Every deli I've been to will put mayo on your sandwich. I doubt that it
is the default, but I don't know. I do expect that often I will be
asked for a confirmation.

One of each. I used to do one batch pink and one batch blue, one with
rose, the other with cedar or rosemary or some such, but both of them
like rose. The scent doesn't linger.

Besides, it takes a real man to admit he like the smell of flowers. We
shall not discuss the candles or the brush-on peel-off facial masque...

You're missing that differentiation- community acquired versus hospital
acquired. They BOTH exist. And neither has ANYthing to do with "flesh
eating bacteria".

No way. The roll or bread is going to get sogged-out soon enough,
esp. if you are packing these for later consumption e.g. fishing
trips.
I top brown the inside of the roll or one side of the bread to boot -
anything to prevent sog thru. Some people DO coat the bread with a
thin layer of butter, but that's just adding calories and fat.
