Some malls are open hours before the stores open and accommodate mall
walkers. No idea if their food court is or isn't. I never asked.

I have experimented with mine, and for a while I started it off by frying a
little and finishing off in the oven. I am now settled that we prefer if I
fry it!

We used to have a Church's Chicken (with lines out the door)
conveniently near me - then the property owner switched to McDonald's.
People here claim that Popeye's chicken is great and we have one a
couple of miles from my house, but there's no parking lot, a lack of
street parking (which would be metered anyway) and I'm not going to
spend an hour or more taking/waiting for public transportation just to
eat fast food. Maybe I'll think about it someday when there are two
people in the car: one to order food to go and the other to circle the
block.

I have to say I have very few real friends. Unfortunately they don't live
in Scotland so I only see them when we travel down south. Does anything
think it is much harder to make friends when we are older? I don't just
mean knowing friendly people, but real friends.

I guess I moved around a lot and perhaps missed out on making friends during
the time others might. My friends are from my younger years.

According to official White House records, yes...I turned 104 last
month. Would be good to use that reference/proof and go after many
years of past SS monthly payments. I would retire right now if I got
all of those back payments. lol!

PS - maybe I should actually try for that. If I get busted, they put
me in federal prison and that would solve all of my retirement

Fair enough. I usually have mine with onion rings. The joint
where I get takeout fried chicken also has dynamite rings.

Oh, and coleslaw. Just because it doesn't seem like a meal if there's
no vegetable.

I wouldn't turn down coleslaw, but I can't say I've ever been given
that choice with chicken & waffles.

My wife and I were talking to a couple of old gents who were sitting outside of Costco. We were eating and the guys were just talking. One guy once had a tofu factory in Hawaii - he knew nothing about tofu when he started out but is now a tofu manufacturing expert. The other guy was a food distributor/supplier and got the idea of selling King's Portuguese sweet bread in stores. That wasn't done back in the 70's and seemed like a goofy idea - at the time. These days, everybody knows King's Hawaiian Sweet Bread.

I am painfully aware of this but don't expect me to say a word about that to folks with one foot in the grave. Mostly, I just shrug and smile.

Snobs like me prefer to drink out of a china cup/mug and eat off china
plates, sitting on a comfortable chair, with an attractive view out of
the window.

We don't like to sit at a plastic table on a plastic chair especially if
both are screwed to the plastic floor; we don't like drinking or eating
from a plastic or paper cup or plate or a cardboard box, while gazing
out at a concrete car park.

The problem with his blaming “the intelligence” is that his brother,

is why he sourced the phony allegation that Saddam Hussain’s Iraq
received uranium from the central African country of Niger to “British

But even before 9/11, in 1998, Jeb Bush signed the letter of the
so-called “Project for a new American Century” trying to pressure Bill
Clinton into an attack on Iraq. The signatories mostly came to power
under W. and more or less made a coup.

The problem with his blaming “the intelligence” is that his brother,
George W., actively disregarded or even dictated the intelligence. That
is why he sourced the phony allegation that Saddam Hussain’s Iraq
received uranium from the central African country of Niger to “British
intelligence” in his 2002 State of the Union address. The CIA saw the
same document and thought it was a forgery, and wouldn’t sign off on
including it in a State of the Union speech. Moreover, the
“intelligence” was being fixed around the policy, as the British head of
MI-6, Sir Richard Dearlove, was disturbed to discover on a visit to
Washington in summer of 2002.

It is true that he doesn’t seem to have been very clear-headed in his
answer. He blamed “the intelligence” for what he said was a consensus of
himself and Hilary Clinton. But the question was not, would you have
trusted intelligence agencies all over again, but rather would you still
do it knowing what we know now. He said he would, even now.

We know now (actually we knew then) that there was no connection between
Iraq and al-Qaeda or the attacks of September 11, 2001, and that Iraq
had no nuclear weapons program.

The Savings and Loan industry had been experiencing major problems
through the late 60s and 70s due to rising inflation and rising interest
rates. Because of this there was a move in the 1970s to replace the
role of S&L institutions with banks.

In the early 1980s, under Reagan, regulatory changes took place that
gave the S&L industry new powers and for the first time in history
measures were taken to increase the profitability of S&Ls at the expense
of promoting home ownership.

A history of the S&L situation can be found he

What is important to note about the S&L scandal is that it was the
largest theft in the history of the world and US tax payers are who was
robbed.

The problems occurred in the Savings and Loan industry as they relate to
theft because the industry was deregulated under the Reagan/Bush
administration and restrictions were eased on the industry so much that
abuse and misuse of funds became easy, rampant, and went unchecked.

There are several ways in which the Bush family plays into the Savings
and Loan scandal, which involves not only many members of the Bush
family but also many other politicians that are still in office and
still part of the Bush Jr. administration today. Jeb Bush, George Bush
Sr., and his son Neil Bush have all been implicated in the Savings and
Loan Scandal, which cost American tax payers over $1.4 TRILLION dollars
(note that this is about one quarter of our national debt).
