=============================
Hey Ruth!
-> 
-> ->  hn> ones we've seen have a person refusing
-> ->  hn> somthing that contains HFCS and the other
-> ->  hn> person giving them a bad time about it.
-> 
-> -> Those were the ones I saw in LV wondering who they were trying to 
sucker
-> -> with the lines about it being so good.  All I had got out of it was the
-> -> mental picture of the other ad with the HFCS oozing out of the kid's
-> -> costume.
-> 
->  hn> I think they were put on by the Corn Marketing
->  hn> Board (grin) Have not seen them aired lately!
-> 
-> I don't recall who put them out but I suspect they got enough flack from
-> the consumer market that they decided to pull the ads.  I don't like
-> multiple airings of dumb ads, especially in a short time frame; that
-> was one thing I didn't like about the Food Network.  Last night during
-> the 11 PM news, the Progresso soup "diet" ad ran 3 times in the half
-> hour.  Good thing the remote has a mute button. (G)
-> 
You can go over to Clean Dave's blog
He's got a good one on the HFCS ads!

-> -> -> and preservatives so picked the former. It's getting harder & harder 
to
-> -> -> find good food.
-> 
-> ->  hn> It really is if you buy much processed stuff.
-> ->  hn> We tend to buy fresh fruits and veggies, and
-> ->  hn> only a few items that are canned or frozen.
-> ->  hn> Even that is not a sure way to avoid
-> ->  hn> the "evils" though.
-> 
-> -> I know but there are some things we have to get that have the "evils" 
in
-> -> them.  Should have waited on the gingersnaps until we went to Brighter
-> -> Day today; had a couple of better choices there.  But, today's trip was
-> -> one of these "as long as we're out, is there anywhere else we need to 
go
-> -> to?" run. And we were about out of several things so.........
-> 
->  hn> Yep, somethings you just have to accept
->  hn> that you can't always get what you want
->  hn> (to coin a phrase from Mick Jagger)!
-> 
-> I know; I used to make a lot of our stuff or we just didn't buy it.
-> Over the years we shifted away from that but now we're going back to
-> where we were.  But now we're going to be buying some things--in the
-> better form--that we used to not buy, like the ginger snaps.  I used to
-> make my sauerbraten in the crock pot with a standard "thicken the
-> juices" type of gravy.  A couple of years ago, I decided to try the
-> stove top method (after I got my cast iron dutch oven) with ginger snap
-> gravy. It was so good we decided to use it as our primary recipe.  (This
-> last time I made it with an eye of round roast & it was falling apart
-> tender.)  Hence, the ginger snap dilemma.
-> 
Somedays you're  the windshield, somedays 
you're the bug! 
-> 
-> ->  hn> Time flies!!
-> 
-> -> And how!  Deborah is about Amanda's age (June 22, 1980).
-> 
->  hn> Amanda is just a few months younger, Sept 11, 1980..
->  hn> her 21st B'day was a real downer for her!
-> 
-> I can understand; we had a 3 am wake up call that day.  Turned on the TV
-> & didn't turn it off until about 11 pm.
-> 
I was at work at the P.O. had 
the radio going in my office and everyone
kept coming in to hear the latest.

-> Deborah lost her military ID & benefits on her 21st birthday but a
-> couple of months later, enlisted in the National Guard.  She'd not gone
-> for Basic yet but was over in the desert within a couple of years.
-> 
Seem's like she's only had a short stint
as a civilian ! Like me till I was 24 ! 

chat with you soon!
