proven that I know how to cook and that I do share recipes and that I

for who and who and what I am...

Well I can honestly say that there are a few decant people here bit
the rest are ass holes.... I will leave it to you to decide which you
are. Well ok I will narrow it down.. There is only one or two other
decant people here (besides me) of course.

You're just flattering me.

[Ed Pawlowski]

I've often decanted a decent wine, never decanted people.

Not to worry, I know what side I'm on. I an an honest person, I though
so will tell you were a jackass from the start and my mind has not
changed.

I looked into rec.food.cooking which I haven't looked at much

Most of the decent people on usenet have been chased out. These

I think the word you were looking for is antiquated. Because it is
surely that.

This is true, but the Internet and especially usenet give the user
anonymity so it allow those ass holes to let their ass flags fly.

[cshenk]

I think you need to stop making snide comments in every post. In 5
months, I have seen only 1 post from you that didn't have some nasty
element to it. If you are upset that others ignore you, it is due to
your own behavior.

Whether you are intelligent or not, is irrelevant. You lack basic
social skills for even this area and we aren't exactly a high water
mark requirement for that.

Set the text entry box to a suitable size and hit Enter when

just hit Enter when your line is similar to that of the previous

I feel that your statement may be somewhat true. You see I do not care
what people say about me. It is just when someone lies or otherwise
does not know something because of lack of knowledge, intelligence, or
education but acts as if they are an authority on the matter, that the
problems begin to arise. Such as the religious talks that we had when
I was rather new to the group. People were saying this as if they
actually knew what they were talking about and then acting like I was
some newbie that knew nothing, yet in the end they ended up getting
schooled. It is so funny because I was just reading the history of
some of those posts, there is some good stuff there. Yes I may have
been harsh, overly critical, yada yada yada, but the people that were
trying to argue against what I was saying were doing the exact same
thing. The only thing was I was correct nearly 100 % of the time if
not full 100%. I did not read every message so I am not sure if it was
100%.

How do I set the text box size and change the fonts?

[Cindy Hamilton]

I generally expand the browser window horizontally until the
text entry box stops increasing in width. If you're posting
from a mobile device you might not be able to do that.

I can't recall how I set up for monospace font. I'm sure it
took considerable poking around in the various GG "Settings"

The people my wife takes care of are a danger to society and themselves. Most of them landed in the psych hospital for 2 reasons: head injury and drug use. OTOH, head injury can also manifest itself as gifts from heaven such as enhanced musical and artistic abilities. My understanding is that Cass Elliot was instantly able to sing like a songbird after whacking her head on a hard surface. Getting knocked out and losing contentiousness greatly improves your
chances of being one of my wife's patients.

It's a bit like why nobody makes dinosaur saddles anymore.

[Christ...@deathtochristianity.pl]

well in my case it raised my IQ about 24 points, granted that is not a
huge amount, but it is the difference between your average everyday
person IQ of 100 and a severely mentally impaired person with an IQ of
76.

So the difference is to me the average person is mentally impaired.
Yes that sounds like a bit of a push, but that is how it is. Could you
imagine walking around and every average person you met was retarded?
That is what it is like for me, except the problem with me is because
of my head injury my word filter is broken. I have a very hard time
filtering what I say.

With that said, when someone insults me or my intelligence it is
usually because that person (when compared to me) is literally
retarded.

I will immediately say the first thing that is on my mind and it
usually is mean and curt. But it is actually no different than what
the other people in this NG has thrown at me at one time or another.
Except when I do it is frowned on, mainly because I am much better at
it, and 99.99% of the time I am correct in what I am
saying/explaining.

Now saw what you will, but I have the paperwork to back it up. I have
been going to doctors and different out patient rehabs (physical,
occupational, speech, psych) for the better part of 20 years. I have
taken various tests at my psychological Dr's to become eligible for
different governmental services. I have taken the IQ test at the Dr
office and at universities, I have taken tests to test my physical
abilities and coordination.

So let me ask everyone of you. What would life be like for you if the
average IQ was 24 points below yours?

Same here...asking an average person to use a dedicated newsreader makes about as much sense as asking them to wear high - button shoes and celluloid collars, heat with coal stoves, use flypaper in lieu of window screens and inquire "Why don't you drive a Studebaker...!!!???"

But these days even on Facebook you can be an absolute asshole, if you
artfully dance around their 'community standrds'. Extra leniency from
Facebook if you demonstrate a left-wing bias to your abuse.

I don't see people in that way. Having to compare myself with others would be burdensome therefore I avoid doing that. People, to me, just are. OTOH, I enjoy talking to people that have some expertise or are smarter than I am. Typically, I'll just grill the heck out of them. That's easy to do if you're not thinking only of yourself.

Classical guitar players also have this problem with constantly comparing themselves to other players. CGer have a awful time listening to other players. They hear technique, and string noise, phrasing, and dynamics - not music. That's just sad.

As it goes, your ego and vanity hides the real world from you.

Yet you constantly demonstrate your own ignorance in all sorts of

You may know something about something, but you sure haven't

He made up that story about head trauma after he wasn't fitting in
here well. "Medical problems" are an old and common ploy that was
used often in the early days of the Internet and Usenet. A bunch of

I love the presentation of the potato. I'm going to do that. I'm
guessing baked, scooped, doctored and put back in. It looks great. It
doesn't look twice baked, but I may be wrong.
I cook twice baked until they're golden on top, but I'm willing to

How about a rough idea of how you scratched up those beans?

I buy plain pork and beans and fix them up myself by adding -

- charred green peppers
- lots of onions
- mustard powder
- worcestershire sauce
- brown sugar

All to taste. A bit of ketchup might be good but I've
never used it yet.

Just heat on stovetop or put in oven to thicken. If then, some
bacon on top would be good too.

The word sounds vaguely unpleasant, a good example of form matching meaning, since Americans have for more than for 150 years used it for a variety of things that are unpleasant to various degrees....

American dictionaries guess that it may be a combination of slum, an old English term meaning slime (nothing to do with a squalid urban area, the word for which is an old bit of slang of unknown origin) plus gullion, English dialect for mud or a cesspool. This is still known in Scots and is probably from the Irish goilín for a pit or pool...

A slang dictionary in 1874 defined slumgullion as “any cheap, nasty, washy beverage”. Another, roughly contemporary, memory is this:

'The meals are all alike — a potato, a slice of something like bacon, some gray stuff called bread, and a cup of muddy, semi-liquid coffee like that which the California miners call “slickers” or “slumgullion.”

Travels in Alaska, by John Muir, 1915, describing a trip he made in 1879.

Boy whatever program you're using is a lot of trouble. How hard would it be to display links properly? Google Groups recognizes links and highlights them with a different color, and makes them clickable - the way God intended.

Thanks to Google Groups, nobody has to put

highlight the link, then copy and paste the

If that's too hard, just upgrade your reader.

You don't have to use Spam and hotdog. I suppose
luncheon meat and Vienna sausage would work too.
Just use whatever canned meat you got. They left
out the most important part. You have to put a
block of instant noodles with a slice of
American cheese smack dab in the center of the pan.

As far as I know, army stew is one of the most
popular of dishes in Korea. It's practically
unknown in the US. My guess is that's going
to change soon.

[Cindy Hamilton]

I don't have any canned meat. That stuff is just nasty.

On the plus side, I went out for Korean at lunch today. Stir-fried
pork and vegetables with a lot of gochujang in it. It was a bento
box, so I also got a fried dumpling, a small serving of chapchae, rice,
and part of a fresh orange. The banchan were kakkdugi and some sort of
leathery tofu marinated in shoyu and something vaguely fishy. Only
the orange peel was left when I paid my tab.

Cindy Hamilton

[dsi1]

You probably think canned meat is nasty
because you grew up in a land where fresh
meat was plentiful. Lots of people did not.

than taste.

A few years back my son and his friends visited Detroit a few times. He
was fascinated by it. He was amazed at the road, a transportation
system for large numbers of commuters in a city where there are now very
few jobs. There are large, beautiful buildings sitting empty, and
blocks of residential area where there are no longer houses. He thinks
it could make a good location for a post apocalyptic film.

It is amazing. It used to be the Paris of the Midwest, and then generations
of neglect nearly killed it. It's a lot better than it was, but it's still
mainly an empty husk.

Maybe Steve, but we don't know if it's real or not. Either way, I
don't correspond with him because from all I have seen (KF but only the
default 30 days then he pops back out automatically), he's posted only
1 message without a jab at everyone or a specific person.

If he does have medical issues driving that then I feel sorry for im,
but that doesnt mean I have to engage with him and put up with it.

Had a friend many years ago (lost contact when I was in Japan). I
forget the name of the syndrome but he had uncontrollable cussing that
would randomly flash out. Lets say, conversations were interesting!

I took him to a nice restarunt in Richmond (he lived there) with my
daughter (then about 10 but well behaved). She'd met him before and
would just giggle when he would let out some expletives. He wasn't the
type to be loud so we simply asked for a quiet corner. I believe there
was also head trauma involved. He was perfectly normal otherwise and
very brilliant and witty. We were collaberating on software beta
testing for BBS (Fidonet) software with screen readers.
