I'm running into a little of that with using Evolution in a Outlook shop. It works, but occasionlly does strange things. I want to go back to pine.

Cancer Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Memo to self: cooking more than two cups of dry beans is wasteful. They're tasty, but after two days everyone gets tired of them, and they get pushed to the back of the fridge and forgotten. When rediscovered, they're a lush mold forest.

archermoo Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER There's enough passed-over stuff in the freezer that I hesitate to invoke that route. I can see that. We're usually pretty good at cycling through the freezer, though certainly not always. And speaking of beans, I need to go track down a good chili recipe.

Tim Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Reminds me of a story my Great Aunt told on her son. During the Depression she had to work to make ends meet. She planned out meals for a week at a time so they knew what they would need. One day her son, who was around 10 at the time, got home before her. He knew they were to have rice for dinner, so measured out the amount of rice he thought everyone could eat. This was raw, uncooked, rice. By the time she got home, every pot and pan they owned was full of rice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER We've got an electric rice cooker. As often as we have rice (at least once a week), it's probably the second-most-used appliance (other than the refrigerator and stove) we have, second only to the microwave oven. And a lot of the uses of the microwave aren't cooking. We have wheat bags ... plush cloth bags about a 3/8-filled with with initially-raw wheat grains and sewn closed ... that serve as personal heaters. Zap a wheat bag for three minutes and you have a nice foot- or bed-warmer without heating up the whole room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinKitty Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER That's what they used to do in "Bunkhouses" where extra kids slept in the olden days; just heat up a large sack of wheat and throw it in the bed. The bunkhouses themselves were unheated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveZilla Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Ah Awk. I did a lot with it until I found Perl. I don't have any choice in it, as I cannot install any software on our systems (I gotta use what they give me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
