    I'm guessing you lived in a fairly large city to have that many markets within driving distance. Of course you didn't say how FAR your mom would drive for a bargain or for better quality. :thumb: In the '50s, we had the A&P or nothing, if my memories are accurate, which they might not be. I...

    Now that there are both an Aldi and a Lidl supermarket in town, Food Lion seems to have stepped up its game. For reasons that I didn't investigate thoroughly, Food Lion discounted a $44 shopping trip by $16, and gave me a $4 discount coupon on my next shopping trip. The tomatoes at Food Lion...

    From a strictly personal point of view, it is dogmatic ritual that has caused me, over the period of a lifetime, to need to separate myself from the collective "we". I'll clap when I feel like clapping, not when someone says "let's all give a hand", and I'll bow my head when I want to, not when...

    For what it's worth, I've been a reasonably serious student of baseball for 60 years, and I maintain that the so-called "unwritten rules of baseball" (with which I have a fair amount of knowledge), are moronic. Damn the tradition, full speed ahead! :lol:

    I don't happen to find Alms' points to be in any way convincing, but I tend to look at the following of tradition more as resistance to change than as preserving anything. Pallbearing, to me, says "prove that you love the deceased by committing this awkward, uncomfortable and possibly painful...

    I've been watching Barbara Bush's funeral, which in the best tradition has been a celebration of her life more than a mourning of her death. JMO (or, when I am King): one day, the practice of having pallbearers will be regarded as barbaric. Every time I see it, regardless of the circumstance...

    From a Washington Post article: "Although the exact source hasn't been identified, federal health officials have said information indicates that the contaminated lettuce was grown in the Yuma, Ariz., area. But consumers anywhere in the United States who have store-bought romaine at home...

    The CDC recommends throwing out any romaine lettuce you might have bought, due to an e. coli outbreak. 2 or 3 days ago, I bought some "Spring Mix" salad-in-a-bag at Aldi's. It consists mostly of a variety of baby romaine lettuces. The same day, I ate some of it and didn't get sick but I guess...

    Balvenie 40 years: $5000 to $6000, depending on where you don't buy it from. Fortunately for me, I've never tasted any whiskey.... that beats relatively affordable Canadian Club.

    @MattB101; I'm not gonna click on that link because it looks like a strange web address, and you didn't post anything except the link. Can you respond, please, so that we know your account wasn't hijacked?

    They match something, somewhere, or they will after 5 o'clock, following Labor Day, before sunset, up to 20 minutes west of any meridian. Stream of consciousness... if you find it makes sense, you're crazy.

    30 mm diameter tank, no overhang, room to spare. Mod is a Renegade SGX 550, made in Florida by Varitube. It uses the same Yihi SX 550 chip that is in the Yihi SX Mini G Class mod, but the Yihi mod doesn't even approach the solid construction and reliability of the Renegade.

    I'm lucky that my BP has never been higher than "high normal". Ever since I quit smoking it hasn't even gotten that high. I can't remember what it was during my physical, something like 127/68 maybe. The nurse said "your BP is excellent". My lung function was good and my blood oxygen level was...

    Patients taking a statin for the first time are generally told to take it at night. If there are no problems, the time can be changed. I read it on the internet so it must be true. I went ahead and took my first-ever statin pill a couple of hours ago, since I've no plans to go out again today...

    TMI about ma teef: I went to the implant doctor today and had a 3-D scan done. There's not enough bone in my upper jaw to warrant trying to put implants in again. The images from the scan made this perfectly clear, and they consulted with me, answering all my questions, explaining everything...

    It turns out that 10 mg of Simvastatin is a pretty low dose. I'm going to start taking it tonight. I take my other meds in the morning but the instructions say to take Simvastatin at night. I think that's because of the possible side effect of confusion, drowsiness or memory loss. Thanks David...
