Whenever Sheldon's angry with his mommy, or the orderlies, he needs to find
someone to bash. It's your turn.

I discovered that a few years ago about _Baywatch_.
The program was so much better without sound.

What happens when you watch Rachel Ray and her inane hand gestures. DO
you get the idea that she is talking about broken windmills?

Not watching at all, and reading a good cookbook, is even more
informative.

When you're tired of FTV and want some financial advice, turn to MSNBC
(I think - maybe it's CNBC) and watch Cramer on mute. I don't have
television
in my home but saw it in a restaurant last week. Hilarious!

I am well aware of the Italian habit of using their hands, but it is usually
done in a more meaningful way, to help describe something, or as emphasis.
Rachel's sort of dangles her limp wrists and swings her arms randomly with
the lower arms and wrist flopping about. I can't stand to watch it.

I've only watched her once, and that was enough. The theme of the show was
"Watch how I can eat for just $5.83 a day while travelling through New
England", or some such nonsense. Lunch was like...a teaspoon of yogurt
topped with a shredded hotel receipt, and she was all excited. And, way too
much of that quickly shifting camera work which I hope will soon go out of
style because it's stupid.

It's that stupid $40 a day show. Okay, if you and a significant other are
on vacation for a week, do you want to spend $80 ($40 a piece) a day on
food? I don't think so! Find me some cheaper restaurants, please, OR
better yet, lets just camp and cook out?!?

Absolutely ridiculous.

I've usually found that breakfast is what breaks the bank while travelling.
When I'm home, I don't eat big, fancy breakfasts, except on weekends when
I've got time to cook. Why do it on trips? So, I try and find a decent
bakery, pick up a muffin & coffee, and find a nice place to enjoy it, if not
in the bakery itself.

I usually end up waiting until "brunch" time, about 11:00 am. That covers
breakfast and lunch. I'll find a good salad bar for $5 - $6 and call it
done until about 6:00 pm. Then I'll worry about food, but it won't be more
than $10!

I have a confession to make, somewhat related to the food budget. If a
cashier does not notice the 12-pack of beer on the bottom rack of my EMPTY
shopping cart, I sometimes say nothing. It's in plain view. Not my job.

Not really, especially if it's Retching Ray.


There's a show on the A&E channel entitled "America's Castles. There's
one particular young lady who is curator/architect/commentator or
something that I have seen numerous times. She's got a great speaking
voice and seems to be knowlegeable but she does some serious annoying
hand flapping. I find myself wishing someone would tie her hands
behind her back. But then she probably wouldn't be able to utter a
word.

Now *that* would be something! We have to live on about $50 a week for
food, so I know what you're saying!

You say "confession" but it reads more like bragging. Why would you
want to publicize the fact that you're a thief? -aem

Breakfast can be a PITA when travelling. My typical breakfast is a bowl of
oatmeal or a bowl of Shredded Wheat, and coffee. There is no money to be made on
something like that in a restaurant. They prefer to offer bacon and eggs. There
are lots of places where you can get pretty good deals on breakfast, but you
have to know the area, and they aren't often found in tourist areas. Hotel
restaurants are exceptionally expensive.

I did enjoy breakfast buffets while travelling in Europe. They were often
included with the room. Sometimes there was an extra charge, but we always got
our money's worth. In addition to a selection of cold cereals and sometimes a
hot cereal, there would be great assortments of cheese, cold cuts, eggs and
incredible rolls and pastries. We usually ate enough at breakfast that we only
need a light snack for lunch.

And you wonder why the cashier got so nervous when the
sensor told her I had something on the bottom of my cart.
I hadn't gotten a chance to tell her I had however many
seltzers, I only put one on the belt. There are people who
wouldn't think twice about walking out without saying anything
if they could. Shameful.

I confess that at least twice I missed something in the cart. The cashier
noticed it and asked me.... Oops. I forgot. I didn't see it. I don't know why.
I have noticed that cashiers have missed things and brought them to their
attention.

One day when I went to a local winery I picked up a few bottles of wine and a
special 4 pack of Pinot Noir. The 4 pack was special because it was made with
the grapes from one particular vineyard and the grapes had been given to three
of the top wine makers in the area, and the pack contained one bottle by each of
them and one that was a blend of the three. The cashier added everything up and
it came to $47 (and change). I told her that sounded low. She answered "Our
wines are very reasonably price....... OOPS..... I forgot the pack of Pinot
Noir". that four pack was $100. Damn. I could have let her make a mistake.

It all pans out in the end. This afternoon, I opened the deli bag of Land O
Lakes cheese and noticed that the woman had priced it as roast beef, about
twice the price.

It's a lot worse on other shows. FoodTV is in love with that kind of
camera work and I don't get it, because the last thing you want to do
while people watch a food show is make them feel like barfing.

It doesn't work that way for me. I hate pigging out at breakfast,
because I can't stop eating for the rest of the day. Give me a cup of
coffee and a piece of toast. My protein is some peanut butter on top.

We used to travel to Florida for a few weeks in the winter (when we
were still able to afford it) and most of the motels (modestly priced)
offered free continental breakfast.....Sharon

That's pretty lame. It's highly unlikely that the deli woman
intentionally overcharged you. Her honest mistake does not offset your
intentional theft. But hey, maybe you're referring to some more cosmic
scale where *everything* eventually evens out. In that case, though,
I'd wonder why you're only stealing beer. Why not rob a bank? -aem

I try to make mine include wine...I am trying to stay within that
budget. I can find cheap wine...but it sometimes is close.
