Here, at some point, they changed the names of the streets! The signs will
have one large name and then a tiny one. But when you are driving, you tend
to only see the large name which might not be the one on the GPS. The
streets are this way where my hairdresser is. She lives in one of those
newly built communities with winding roads that cut off and cookie cutter
houses. I have been there enough times now to find it but at first, it was
horrible.

And when I lived in NY, I had mapquested my way back to Angela's school but
wound up in tears because the signs were not adding up to what I saw on the
map. When I finally got there two hours later, from my Dr. who was on the
other side of the island, one of the teachers at the school chuckled at my
plight and said that the teens were constantly changing the street signs in
that particular area. I just kept driving in circles around a monastery.
Somehow I finally got out of the dreaded loop and just looked for a major
road. I had no idea what was where as we hadn't been there for long. I
just kept driving until I found a store and a restaurant that looked
familiar and then I was able to get close enough to home to be able to wend
my way back to the school.

Perhaps for you. I am directionally dyslexic. For real. Prior to the GPS
or even Mapquest, I would have to do one of two things. Either call someone
or several people if the place was too far away and ask them for specific
directions, or... Drive in the direction of the place, stopping every so
often to write down specific directions. Like turn right at the white house
or the Shell station. And woe be to me if anyone should paint their house,
take down a sign, fence, etc. I try not to go by street signs because
sometimes they are not there or are not visible to the driver.

So? None of that stuff will be eaten by me. Someone in this house thinks
it is just fine to allow me to cook a meal and then they don't come home to
eat it. So... For the time being, I am not cooking. Not for them
anyway... I will use up what we have. But after that? If that person
wants a hot and instant meal, they can have it. And that's what it will be.

Once we moved here, we had a week long outage almost every year. The power
company has since fixed things so that no longer happens. We never suffered
though. We had a small gas heater in the basement as well as two gas
burners for cooking. Also two fireplaces. And when our power stayed out,
it was just our little street of 7 houses. So we could still go out to eat
or the movies or shopping or whatever... As long as we weren't snowed in.

I couldn't do the first GPS that my husband got me because it was
essentially a battery operated map. For some reason he bought one for
hikers and not one for use in a car. Then we were robbed and that's one
thing that they stole. Husband actually laughed about it because they
didn't steal the instructions that go with it and he hadn't really even
figured it out yet. He'd had it for less than a week.

We have a little light on each landing which are plugged into the electric
sockets which come on when it is dark. They come on constantly if the power
goes off.

Wait! If the horse bolted it, it would be locked!

OT: I love the Internet! Our deadbolt broke to pieces not too long ago and
I had a locksmith come out and replace that plus the doorknob. But the
other night, I couldn't make the deadbolt lock. I did not know that they
were affected by weather. Never had a problem with one before. Found a
website that told me how to fix it. Now it works better than ever! I think
I was just used to sticky deadbolts. The one that came with the house was
so sticky and finicky that I just tried never to use that door for entering
the house. Then the new one was some better. But not as good as it is now!

Because I like to cook. This isn't an eating group. It's a cooking group.

Butttttt, if you can't cook something that ANYONE will eat...what is the point
in the first place? I like to cook, I like good tasting food. Nearly everything
I cook is liked by me and OTHERS...especially by relatives who pig out
and tell me how good it is so I'll invite them even more often.
There is method in their madness or possibly madness in their method.

Trust me, for those in hunger even .10c ramen can be a joy.

Thank you, that sounds like a fun and quick meal to whip up - plenty of
room for customization too!

Yeah, this could be a keeper.

Excellent question! Yes, we all have to eat. And since we have to eat,
why not enjoy it? Sorry, but I don't just open cans and eat them
standing in my kitchen. I'm no gourmet chef by any means but I do use
different cooking methods. Grill, stovetop, crockpot, oven. I like to
try new foods, too, and change things up a bit from time to time. That
includes using spices. And herbs, fresh if I've planned ahead, dried if
not.

Julie belongs in a group all her own, where people do nothing but
complain about what they can't eat and how ill they are. All the while
guzzling diet soda (it was on sale!).

Allow me to explain something to you... it generally follows that
people who enjoy *cooking* also enjoy eating the food they cook.

Yes! She likes beans. Open a can and chow down. Plates are paper if
she decides to go the formal route because it's too much trouble to
use the dishwasher.

Would you be in the same group?

You certainly spend enough time complaining about her to be a charter

She is a lonely and bitter woman who has nothing better to do with her
life. It gives her life meaning and justifies her existence because she
thinks it makes her superior.

You're full of crap, Ophelia. I'm not lonely, I'm not bitter and I
don't feel superior. What I also don't do is claim to stand around in
my kitchen eating out of tin cans, Julie does. Wake up and smell the
roses. Julie is full of crap.
