For the record, I never once even considered sleeping with you. And
you know that. You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was
going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the
total blue.

After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3
years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of
romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY
MOVING IN WITH YOU?

That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the
screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too
spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands
down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least
he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar
at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2
years.

Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why
your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation
and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd
prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away.
There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo.

And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of
grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done
in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people
about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as
if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're
manic depressive mixed with habitual liar.

Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles.

Lots of people on this rock ate canned meats over 50 years ago. They couldn't go to a store and pick up some fresh or frozen meat because the store was far away and fresh meat was too perishable. My mom cooked that way. I did not care for her cooking. I call that "plantation cooking" because it was the cooking of the plantation workers and the poor folk. Trying to escape plantation cooking is the reason I learned to cook and have been cooking all my life.

Only one I ever saw at BJ's is the 6 pack of lower sodium. Just bought
some a couple of weeks ago. It may vary regionally though.

Plantation cooking is mostly canned meats with cabbage. Sometimes it would be a can of salmon with rice and maybe a little lettuce. Sometimes it would be a can of sardines with rice. Mostly it involves using a can opener. Sometimes we'd eat fish or crabs someone had caught. My mom would also make this but I've never made it. It's kind of an expensive and fancy dish these days.

Ok I can see why you wouldn't want to eat canned stuff with cabbage all the
time. From the things you post here I think you cook well and make a very
varied diet for your family.

Fourteen hundred years ago Islam gave women rights; rights that could
not have been imagined by European counterparts. Bold words! Words
that have been spoken repeatedly, especially in the last two or three
decades by Muslim converts, and Islamic writers, academics and educators

been the subject of books, articles, essays, and lectures. Sadly
however, convincing the world that Muslim women are not oppressed by
Islam is a message that is just not getting through. Media headlines
scream oppression and the words Muslim, women, and oppression seem to
have become inextricably linked.

No matter what Muslim women do or say to try to convince the world
otherwise, words like hijab, burka, polygamy, and Sharia seem to do
little but convince people that Islam oppresses women. Even educated,
articulate women fulfilling the modest conditions of hijab can do little
to dispel the myths. Women who conduct themselves with decorum and
grace and function effortlessly in the modern world have their
achievements and successes celebrated. However, if a woman wears a
scarf, covers her hair or puts her religion above worldly pursuits she
is immediately labelled oppressed. One wonders if this is the case for
women of other religious persuasions.

Geez, that was one of the lunch specials in high school. One small slice with one lone raisin on top.

WhaddidjaWANT for a 25 cent lunch? The side was probably a dollop of watery mashed spuds.
