Poor, poor, Peter: Stupid, ***, feckless, weak, clumsy, and saddled with debilitating insecurity. NO WONDER you couldn't stay in the military! BTW, I knew there was no way you really had me killfiled. You envy my cooking skills, and hope to learn from me. It's really too bad; if you weren't so stupid you might have a fighting chance of learning how to cook something other than frozen commercially-prepared meals. Ruth deserves better, doesn't she?
