The juxtoposition of "You know nothing of who I am..." with "...that is way beyond your realm." is priceless. When you bought that medical equipment, the purchase price included the merchant fee the seller had to fork over to Amex. Cars rarely have enough margin to include such fees, unless, as I said before, you overpay for the car. Give them sticker price, and they will grab your Amex out of your hand and ring it up. Give them $500 over cost, and they will insist on other payment mechanisms. > I don't lease the Audi to show off to others, No, you do it because "I like having something brand new", even as you lambast your neighbors for "their lame attempts to live like 'kings'". Those who wish to minimize their total cost of ownership buy cars for cash and keep them past the steep part of the depreciation curve. Those who wish to live like kings lease cars, every few years, that they otherswise can't afford. Not that there is anything wrong with that, so long as those folks don't look down on their hard-working neighbors and than brag about how thrifty they are. I doit because of the > quality of the car, and the hassle of having it serviced for free, as > well as the reputation. We all know that a late-model Audi is a car fit for a king. That is not in dispute. -- In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.

If you do, our moms can pay us a >surprise visit and we won't have to close any doors. Certainly. I will make a list.  When you eat M&Ms, pour them all out of the bag. Sort them by color and make a row of reds, a row of oranges, a row of yellows, a row of greens, a row of light browns, and a row of dark browns. I think they come in blue now, too, so put that row between the greens and the light browns. Okay, now, you'll have "extras" of some colors. Eat those first. Then, eat one of each color so there is an equal number of each color until the bag is gone. (Now I just grab a handful out of the bag. I've recovered from that one.) When hanging pictures on the wall, they must be precisely measured so they're the same distance from the window as from the wall, etc. If there are multiple pictures occupying a section of wall, make sure that they are precisely balanced between any architectural features, and the same distance from the floor/ceiling. If it's off by 1/8th inch, re-hang the thing. Get (or start using) a file cabinet. Get two colors of hanging folders. One for paid bills (one for each company). One of the other color for each appliance. You should have a user's manual for everything from your furnace to your toaster, either alphabetized as a large group, or ... bring in a third color. One for major appliances and one for things like blenders. Be creative when it comes to lawn mowers and stuff. I'm still not sure where those go. (I haven't done any of this at the new house, but I've been thinking about it a LOT!) <G> If you *really* want organization, talk to kilikini or Hag. They both make me feel so inadequate, but I love 'em dearly. Carol -- "Years ago my mother used to say to me... She'd say, 'In this world Elwood, you must be oh-so smart or oh-so pleasant.'

Have any of you considered taking a Valium or Double Martini before shopping???? It does wonders for the attitude, and helps one say "there but for the grace of god go I" when seeing confused old ladies, squealing babies, and harried office workers who are probably dog tired after working all day and having to cook dinner for demanding families who wouldn't think of starting it themselves. -- mareesme ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mareesme's Profile: http://www.cookingboard.com/member.p...nfo&userid=190 View this thread: http://www.cookingboard.com/showthre...threadid=31006 |

Yes, sage is an herb, but when it's powdered, I think of it more like a spice. And curry leaves (a.k.a. kerala) differ from curry powder: Curry powder, as you note, is a spice mixture, but curry leaves are the leaves from a specific tree -- and those leaves are rarely used in curry powder. They're a fairly standard ingredient in the cooking of southern India. Bob |

Shoot! I've never even been to southern Indiana! The full extent of my curry experience has been Penzey's Sweet Curry. Thanks for the education - I never knew that curry leaves existed.

There was one guy in one of those things who used to hang out at one of the local malls, at least I saw him almost every time I was there. I saw him take runs at people several times. After seeing him to it a few times too many, I stood in front of him to block his way and had a little talk with him. I never saw him do it again. I guess he thought that I really would wheel him over to the stairs and push him over. :-) |

One of his insane friends came over and "decorated" his computer area (1/2 of the basement). There's crap hanging all over the place, with no apparent rhyme or reason.

Kili has inspired me to paint in at least five rooms of the house (including the insides of cabinets). I have some really luscious and expensive wallpaper that I'm going to mail her for their living room (they're paying the postage, which is good for me, and they're getting a kick-ass deal out of the whole thing). I can't wait for THOSE pictures. Hag? You mean the ex-Marine Hag? I had a cook-in this past summer, and that women (bless her organized soul) took right over, and I didn't have to think or anything. Good thing, too. I was completely overwhelmed by the whole thing.

Can't wait to see who replaces her. When does the season start, anyway? OB food: made a crab gratin this weekend that was an absolute flop. Man, do I hate it when $30 worth of Dungeness crab goes down the disposal.

(I'm thinking of how Anita Barone started out as "Carol" on "Friends," but was then replaced by Jane Sibbett.) Will Monk still have a nurse/assistant, or is he supposed to be well enough to strike out on his own now? Bob |

They wipe their noses on my clothes, so I visualize the germs multiplying exponentially and creeping up to my face (I know I transport them to areas that will allow them to infect me by touching the area where they left the germs with my hand and then touching my face). I also visualize the germs entering my mucus cavities - infecting me, making me sick and keeping me away from my job for too many days. I teach 2/3/4 now and they have a more mature way to wipe their noses - yes, they use a tissue... most of the time. LOL! I'm so relaxed now that when I was called for jury dutybefore xmas (it took them 3 full days of me reporting in person -not by phone) - I wanted to raise my hand to volunteer, because I could tell by their responses that several jurors DIDN'T want to be there and I was interested in the intricacies of the trial... which was over a clause in a contract. sf |

I always do the D plain w/ sourdough and a cab. Cliche, I know, but simple is often the best. One killer variation is a Dungeness eggs Benedict. nb |
