I'll make eggnog and kettle corn, and bring the lawn chairs. Who can
we get to bring portable heaters and extension cords?

controversies - my Christmas resolution

Certainly! I'm making potato salad for Sunday, so I won't be making
any for the big fight.

For the coffee? My SIL puts it in his eggnog. Smooooth!

Got a lot of mileage out of four used roast beast bones: simmered them in
the stockpot to make a killer broth for onion soup, and then picked off 2
cups of meat scraps for a chili.

For those who recall that I lived on the Cape, I've just moved to Boston's
Back Bay, where I will watch the New Year's Eve parade from my window.

Come sit in my yard instead - no heaters needed. Bring sunscreen, a hat,
and lots of iced water. It's been a tad warm...

I'll bring the rest of the green rice. Oh, and I'll make some of my
killer mint iced tea.

I killfile controversial threads. Not sure why I followed them last
month, but I don't want to get involved in volatile subject matter
anymore.

I was teasing, but I know exactly what you mean. Occasionally
I'll read along, but I rarely participate anymore. Guess we're
just gettin' old...

I can bring the tamales and rompopo (Honduran eggnog) - tis the season
for that stuff here.

I won't comment on that discussion since I'm the on the flip side of
the immigration/language issue.

OK, guys, skootch over so we can squeeze in another one. The argument
appears to be going strong still -- I'm guessing about 10 minutes
reading will get you up to snuff.

I'm not sure that there *is* a flip side. What's the difference?

Of course, there is one big difference, people leaving the US take money
with them, people entering the US sometimes have very little money.

Flip side of the learning language issue, not the money issue.....
Latinos in the US and Gringos in Latin America ......it works both ways
on ability and opportunity to learn the second language. Nuff said. I
won't discuss the issue further in this newsgroup.

Sorry, I guess I didn't understand the definition of flip. Now that you
mention it, I guess I do. I'll try harder next time.
