Well, as one of the official hall monitors, I guess you would know. :-)
Still, he can't seem to do anything but bash tonight.

I gave up my hall monitor sash a couple months ago. :-)

When someone's in bash mode, I just skip over their posts for awhile until
they can act civil. Works for me.

There is an entire world outside your house....people actually interacting
FACE TO FACE and in-person!!!! They speak to each other, they hear one
another's voices!!!!! The SEE one another!!!
They can touch.....it's amazing, really. Face-to-face interaction!!!
Imagine!!!
You guys really should try it sometime!
It's amazing that people really CAN interact without a computer!

I don't care. I was merely making an observation.

Rant over yet, Sheryl?

I was "out of the house" most of the day today. The same tomorrow, and
probably all day on Monday. I don't go out in the evening. I happen to
enjoy being on the PC when I'm home, not that it's anyhone else's business.

Why do you feel the need to justify then?
Who am I?
Why do you care what I think? Why do you care what Jim Lane thinks?
Why do you let what anyone here says impact your life at all? Why do you
make 32 posts in 3 days' time? Why don't you try LIVING instead of
observing?

You're assuming that I felt a "need" to justify anything. I was only
responding to your post. If you didn't expect a response, then perhaps you
shouldn't have posted.

> Who am I?

B.S.O.M.

> Why do you care what I think? Why do you care what Jim Lane thinks?

I don't care what you think. I don't need your approval.

> Why do you let what anyone here says impact your life at all?

It doesn't. I think the whole damn thing is comical.

> Why do you make 32 posts in 3 days' time?

Why are you counting? Have you nothing better to do? Why don't you try
LIVING instead of counting?

Why don't you try LIVING instead of observing?

We've been through this crap before, Sheryl. Why don't you mind your own
business? Lest I remind you of the rampages you've been on here.

She's manic AGAIN. Someone desperately needs some medication. Time to
re-activate that killfile. Bye, Sheryl. See a doctor. Really.

Same here - out of the house. Caving and hiking and 4-wheeling on the
weekends. Work during the week. I like the computer in the early
morning when it is quiet or in the evening when TV sucks big time.
Sometimes I'm in mood to post here and sometimes not.

Google may not be wrong... I've noticed lots of folks choose to waffle
back and forth between archiving and not archiving... then again Google
can be wrong, for a number of years it seems (with Deje News) my posts
weren't archived yet I never knowingly chose that option. Could also
be a PC glitch... haven't any of yoose ever discovered a PC gremlin
somehow muted your sound and changed other default settings. Heck,
sometimes rfc gets so boring I fall asleep at the keyboard mid
sentence, with my hand still on the mouse... I know for a fact I've
clicked in my sleep and made default changes, heck, once that I know of
I deleted my entire photo shop program.... for weeks I figured it was
gone foever, until one day I opened my recycle bin and there is was.

Yeah, I've had her blocked for a few years now. I only see her posts when I
read one she's replied to. She was splitting hairs about it wasn't ME who
won the free cat food, it was my cat. Well DUH. I don't eat cat food
She's an ill tempered b**** who just can't stand anyone else to have good
fortune.

OB Food: Today, I'm using smoked turkey wings and making a pot of turnip
greens. Still haven't decided what to grill tomorrow other than some
zucchini. It's a toss up between flank steak and chicken thighs. I'll
decide late tonight or early tomorrow morning. Here's a pic of how I did
the flank under the oven broiler:

As someone in the Info Tech industry, don't feel bad. I was swapping
stories with a co-worker and it was amazing we had both done the same stupid
things. Like, insert a diskette into drive A. Drop out to DOS. Usually at
this point, cd to A and then Type format. Are you sure? Yeah, yeah, I'm
sure. Except, we forgot to cd to A. Oh God! Ctrl-Break! STOP! Do not
format the C Drive! (laughing)

She also wound up with a squirrel building a nest on top of her chimney -
lit a fire, house filled with smoke. Same darned thing happened to me! It
was like that old cartoon (Lil' Abner?) - a little storm cloud followed us
around and rained on us, but in this case it kept jumping back and forth.

Her self - aggrandizing posts are good for a laugh, though. Her MO
*never* changes. And when I occasionally get down in the dumps I can
read her childish petty little dramas and say, "Hey, at least I'm not
*that* bad off, I have it pretty good in life actually..." :-)

I know it sounds funny, but I didn't mean it as a joke. It takes one to
know one, and this bipolar person recognizes a fellow sufferer when she
sees one. Sheryl, please, for yourself and everyone around you, get some
help.

Is it possible that you have not received several emails from me,
including a couple of Thank You Notes? Let me know and I will send
them again. )

I'm sorry, Margaret. I did receive them. I am VERY backlogged on my
correspondence. I haven't been feeling so great lately (shingles), and
only briefly pop my head into the newsgroup or write a letter or two.

The good news is, I've been spending the time when I'm not sleeping to
clean the house and post cookbooks on eBay.

There were several that we decided we'd never use. When I researched the
selling prices of previously auctioned copies, I decided it'd be better to
put them in the Salvation Army box than waste my time and money trying to
get a few pennies for them. We're about due to start a second box.

It feels good to be purging some of the unnecessary stuff we've
accumulated.

I'm not in the collecting mode now, but I'm not ready to give up my
"stuff" either. Someday, someway, I'll be in that mood. The problem
is that once I have more room, I'll probably just start collecting
again.

The standing joke at work is "she who dies with the most *stuff*
wins".

Uhmmmmmm.
I'm not bipolar. Not even close.
You don't even know me.
You have some nerve diagnosing someone you've never met, never spoken
to....only interacted with electronically.

You can't possibly believe you know anything about me (or anyone else) based
on the little bits of someone's personality you glean from them posting
here.

While going through our cookbooks, we took note that the ones we use most
are various Betty Crocker books. They're just ... comfortable, like hot
cocoa on a cold winter's day. So I've bought a few of those with my eBay
earnings. I even bought one I already had. What a maroon! One more for
the Salvation Army.

Hey, I do it on purpose! This weekend, I'm using clamato and vodka.

She's my old reliable too! In spite of having lots of "fancy"
cookbooks, good old Betty Crocker is the one I turn to first... and I
only have one.

I like that method... except I'd use Snappy Tom and a celery swizzle
stick of course.

I've never owned any of the Betty Crocker books, probably because my mom
never did. My old standbys are Good Housekeeping Cookbook (1944 and 1965
editions), Joy of Cooking (1964 edition), and Culinary Arts Institute
Encyclopedic Cookbook (1967 edition). When I first lived on my own in 1963,
I liked my mom's 1944 GHC so well that I tracked down another copy at a used
bookshop. Hundreds of cookbooks later, these are still the ones on my
cookbook shelf in the kitchen, and the first ones I go to for a reference.
