===================
Hey Michael!

->  HN> For me brisket is "ok", I didn't grow up eating it like I
->  HN> did with pork. Anne prefers brisket as well
-> 
-> Well, you have to admit she has good taste - she chose you,
-> after all.
-> 
That's the part that makes me question her tastes!
That and she won't eat seafood.

->  ...for me
->  HN> it can only be BBQ if it's pork...even beef ribs don't
->  HN> seem to hit that same spot of satisfaction that pork 
->  HN> does.
-> 
-> For ribs I prefer pork, but for slabs of meat, beef has
-> the edge.
->
I confess I  do like a good steak myself! 
Beef stew is grand, and pot roast is 
wonderful as well! 
 
->  Didn't get to stop by either Manilla diner or
->  HN> Unka Thurm's that day...sometimes life just gets 
->  HN> so busy.
-> 
-> Doesn't it. And you think to yourself "this is retirement?"
->
I often think that! But the nice thing is that
at least every so often I get a whole day 
where I don't have to do anything at all!
And that includes getting dressed! I just 
pull on some sweatpants and a sweat shirt 
and kick back!
 
->  -> Kid charged me 50 smackers for fixing two laptops. I gave
->  -> him an extra 25 because it was his 16th birthday earlier
->  -> in the week. I was going to give him more, but the ATM card
->  -> didn't behave, and that was all the cash I had. The ATM
->  -> card worked later in the day, though.
->  HN> I'm sure he appreciated it...and will be willing
->  HN> to go an extra mile for you in the future if need 
->  HN> be! That could prove to be a good investment!
-> 
-> So far as I know he did a good job. But -
-> 
->  HN> BTW how's the new box holding up now?
-> 
-> I'm getting acclimated to it, and seldom is it doing anything
-> really weird, but I still don't trust it completely. Coupled
-> with the fact that when I did the backup of the croaking old
-> one and restored it to the new one, it appears that some
-> programs don't work right because the dlls in XP Pro SP2 are
-> different from the ones on the old XP Home (much nicer) box,
-> and of course the registries are different, and maybe some of
-> the hidden files can no longer be found.
->
I have XP pro and have been quite happy with it
over the years.
 
-> By the way, one major issue is that user "M" (myself) remains
-> inaccessible on the new computer, so I had to hand transfer all
-> the files in "M's Documents" to "Administrator's Documents,"
-> - in the late '90s, I posted here that United Airlines had made
-> me a "Premier Executive," and that was the first time I'd been
-> an executive of any kind; well, now Microsoft has made me an
-> Administrator, and this is the first time I've ever been the
-> administrator of anything.
->
Me too!
 
->  -> Thing about greens is that I can make them myself,
->  -> whereas smoking stuff and frying stuff are way beyond me.
->  HN> I can do them all, but it takes time and
->  HN> often that's the commodity that I have 
->  HN> the least to spare in a day!
-> 
-> Depends if you have to eat immediately upon rushing home.
-> For greens, I figure 3 minutes to wash, 2 minutes to prep,
-> during which the bacon can render if you're using that rather
-> than a ham bone, dumping everything in the kettle, bringing
-> it to the boil, and lowering the heat, 5 more minutes. Then
-> you let it sit on low for an hour or three, but you don't
-> have to do anything.
->
I don't mind if I've got em in the crockpot, 
but I don't like leaving things on top of the
stove (with the stove on) if I'm not going
to be there in the house. 
 
->  HN> Now that's a flash from the past! Wonder
->  HN> what  ever happened to Kathy? Would be
->  HN> nice to let her know we are all still here and
->  HN> miss her!
-> 
-> Last time I saw her, nine years ago, Teri Chesser and
-> Benita and I drove up from Houston and rousted her out
-> of her apartment. She seemed happy to see us but did
-> not seem to be in the best of health. Wish I could have
-> done more, but she was off in the wilds of nowhere and
-> didn't make any reaching-out efforts after that last
-> encounter. Pity. Nice girl, and cute too.
-> 
Hope she's ok and happy!
chat with you soon!
