-
->  RH> I can remember the metal trays.  I always liked the apples and the
->  RH> salty mashed potatoes.
-> 
-> I never thought the potatoes were salty, but it could be because of the
-> amount of salt my mom cooks hers in.  They were the rubbery instant
-> potatoes, as I recall. Can't really remember much specifically about
-> them but it's just as well; they weren't worth remembering. (G)
-> 
We never cooked with much salt, so the prefab ones taste salty to me.  Not
bad, just salty.
 
->  RH> Cheddar on pizza ... uhmmm, ick?
-> 
-> Not enough used to make that much of a difference and we didn't know
-> better (tastewise) either.  Of course once we had real pizza, it made us
-> realise how horrible those box ones are.

I've never even seen the stuff. Creamettes turned up in the store last week
though.
 
-> -> True; they can probably throw a roll of paper towels, some tooth
paste
-> -> and a roll or 2 of tp into a bag of stuff for hand out too.  Those
-> -> things are neccessary to keep life going too.  TP can also be used to
-> -> blow the nose, paper towels can be used for napkins as well.
-> 
->  RH> And you can't buy them with food assistance money.
-> 
-> No, and some things you just can't live without. Can live without paper
-> towels, nopkins or kleenex but gotta have TP.

I have to have have the Kleenex too.  The local homeless shelter loves
getting maxis.  If I get a brand I don't like cheap/free, they get a
package.
 
->  RH> Staying for certain.  The estate sales and tag sales where I make
->  RH> what's laughably called an income are all on weekends.  Besides,
long
->  RH> distance walking and the great outdoors are my enemies.
-> 
-> I don't mind the outdoors if prepared for it. OTOH, long distance
-> walking can do me in pretty fast.  Then, too, just being on my feet for
-> a long time can do that.

Same here, doubly so if it involves standing still.
 
->  RH> Comfort food that no one raised outside of the area thinks is
edible?
-> 
-> Wurst & brotchen is good most any time, even about 10:30pm, just before
-> hitting the Berlin Corridor at Helmstedt, as our girls can vouch for.
-> We made a week end trip down to Frankfurt once and made that stop on the
-> way back to Berlin.
-> 
That's different from sweetened ketchup with curry powder in it.
 
->  RH> Sometimes TLC doesn't help.  We had an LG that was defective as
->  RH> designed; the only way to keep it from breaking was to use it as
dish
->  RH> storage.
-> 
-> We've not had any go bad on us.  Fridges, yes but not dishwashers.

I'd call it a lemon, but it was a major design flaw or series of them.
 
-> -> want: 1) the air bag to deploy, unexpectedly and unneccessarily or 2)
-> -> the air bag not to deploy when neccessary, should the occaision
arise.
-> 
->  RH> Enough was enough.
-> 
-> Given the circumstances, yes.  One time we'd not gotten even a block
-> away from the dealership when it happened.

Definitely high time.
 
-> -> BTW, looks like we won't get hit by Earl; he will give the Outer
Banks
-> -> some wind & rain but nothing this far inland.
-> 
->  RH> All I got was a few drops of rain.
-> 
-> That's about what we got too.
-> 
We've had more rain from thundershowers.
