substitute 'set in my ways' for 'conservative' and that's pretty much
right.

LOL. She would be the only one dumb enough to use conservative in

Or you can acknowledge to yourself that fools abound and choose to not
respond. HTH. "-) Responding often just prolongs the issue.

We have a friend who is very well off financially, but drives a 16
year old Mercedes. He drives it not to be economical or b/c he's
cheap, he just doesn't want to have to deal with a different vehicle's
whistles and bells. His old Merc is getting to the point of not being
repairable and I swear the guy would spend $200k if someone would
build him a new car exactly like the one he has now.

He also has a 1932 Rolls Royce he inherited from his father that has
right hand drive with the shifter *in the door*, which I found very
odd. It also has writing desks on the back of the front seats. Drives
like you ought to have a parrot on your shoulder, singing, "Yo HO!" He
drove it down to south Orange County from LA and never was able to get
it over 50 mph, and in SoCal, that can get you killed, even in a land
barge!

OB: A big order of crab legs showed up on Friday and we're having a
big ole crab leg dinner tomorrow with the family. I figure 2 lbs of
butter ought to suffice, a nice salad, some haricots vert sauteed in a
little lemon and butter, sourdough bread and that berry crumb pie
ought to work nicely. <burp!>

About then. I'll never forget how I found out about Usenet and the guy
who hooked me up. Somewhere around '94 or '95. I've used more than one
name and address.

I've been infesting this group for 20 years, maybe longer. I think my
first mischief on usenet was around 1987.

Here's a recipe for Buffalo wings that I posted in 1990.

cb805f9ab929/e6b1f51610785acf?q=%22eacj%22+rec.food.cooking>

The email address in that post has long since expired. Back in those
days, my usenet account required a login to a supercomputer in the
Cornell Theory Center (the infamous "Batcomputer").

My first post was a reply to some guy named Moses who wanted a recipe to
cook two Gretaens. I suggested he roast them with onions, garlic and
rosemary but I really wasn't sure what Gretaens were. Some sort of
Peruvian chicken was my best guess.... and I love Peruvian chicken...
but that is another story.

Never heard back from him and for the life of me, I've never been able
to find any Gretaens.

I have a confirmed post from 1993, with others from '91-92.

So that makes me 'older' than you.

And you don't like it......... do you?

I think back then you were "Katra" aka "Katrinka" of Tooneville
Trolley fame: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toonerville_Folks

Miche was definitely here in the very early '90s.

"katra" was my first posting ID, yes.

My "real" e-mail address still reflects that.
I have well trained filters. <g>

It was the first year for me too but I don't know if I posted. IIRC,
it was scary in those years to post- not necessarily in rfc but in
other groups I visited where I knew my subject quite well.

Yes, 1994 the year I got my first computer.

Cea who used to be "cloud" then, I think

Petah, dahling, if you understood how little I care about who's been
here since whenever, I do believe you would be surprised. <grin>
A) I *am* curious to know exactly what it was that prompted your
disclosure of your first post of 1993. B) I doubt you're older than I
am; I'm just about older than dirt.

OB Food: "Oven-fried" chicken leg quarters for dinner tonight ‹ they're
on sale for 39 cents/lb. I'm thinking I'll make some dressing to
accompany it. Likely will boil some potatoes to mash, too. Gravy may
come from a packet mix. Cherry chutney on the side.

(Note to Blake: Thanks for your comment in the thread ‹ I would have
missed Petah's remarks without yours.)

That's funny, Cea. When I see it, I think, "Who *cares*? WTF
difference does it make about *anything*?"

I can't remember yesterday very well, how the hell would I remember when
I first posted on rfc. I agree totally, what difference does it make,
are there bragging rights attached or did I miss that post?
