-> -> If Wal-Mart can sell Singer and Brother, shouldn't Target (a step

-> 
->  RH> Target sells a lot of junk too.
-> 
-> Not as much as the "marts" do.

It's just different junk.  Some of their stuff is better quality, but not
all of it.
 
-> -> you?  I hear it too often now but thankfully haven't seen it in print
-> 
->  RH> Around here that's common; it's a Southern/Black English thing.
-> 
-> Seems more Black English but it just grates on my nerves every time I
-> hear it.

Improper or lazy English sometimes gets me too - but the y'know
interjection every ten seconds is a lot worse ... y'know.

-> -> turkey bacon ain't nothin' like the real thing.
-> 
->  RH> Turkey bacon is smoked turkey - maybe.
-> 
-> I'd still rather have the real thing; can't get any decent drippings off
-> the turkey stuff for my German potato salad.

I've never gotten a decent bacon taste off of the stuff, never mind
drippings.  If you really want nasty fake bacon, soy bacon takes the prize.

-> 
-> It'll dry eventually if you live in a more arid climate, trust me.

You'll be hand-drying it in Georgia too.

-> 
-> They recognise it now; figure I got it thru my dad's mom who passed away
-> several years before I was born.

In my family, there have been artists of one kind or another in just about
every generation.  Some have been professionals at it; others just did it
for fun. Oddly, there were professional violinists on both sides of the
family tree.  Neither is a direct ancestor, but it's a strange coincidence.  
 
-> -> making; I wish they had, and let him taste the fruits of his labors.
(G)
-> 
->  RH> Talk about dirty jobs!  Poi taster!
-> 
-> Not as bad as durian sampler.

Overripe durian taster maybe; ripe durian taster sounds like a great job to
have.
 
-> New in that the unhealed line of bone was finally filled in after about
-> 18 months.  But, I'm wearing normal walking shoes again.  I've got to
-> get new dress (heels) shoes; one pair nevr made it back to the main land
-> and the other pair did but shouldn't have.  After all, I can't go to
-> formal functions wearing most of my current footwear (including the

No slippahs either?  Darn!  Zappos.com here we come!

Uhmmm - yum?  Malt powder.
