Somehow that logical approach just doesnt work here?  We are now out of udon
though as well as yam noodles.  Also, mayo though not related.  Hey, buying
my second jar of mayo since getting stateside.

It is a nice easy one, grant you that.  It's just with no ancestry on either
side being 'pasta eaters' it's really easy to forget that such exists.

OHMG.  Excuse me while I go throw up.  Not joking, that is disgusting to me.

Naw, always felt if you didnt want it all, let it go.  Baggie up what is
useful for later though.  Some of my best dishes are 'gently used' (knarfed)
rib bones and such.  Dont worry, we dont serve those to guests <G>.

Oh the traffic will be horrible.  I'll have to leave at something like 645am
for an 830am appointment.  It's about 15 miles away, but a bad traffic area.

Hearing loss to eh?  5% here.  Normal for my rate.  It was the big air
handlers of the mainframe days.  All the loss is in a specific 'range' and
the rest is fine.  Wierd pattern but trackable.  Hits just where the male
voice speaks which can be convienent at times <g>.
