    Neekha [...] has also done a little modeling but doesn't plan to
    make a career of it.
    Good for her...
    I'm pleased she didn't pursue that as a career. She is fascinated
    by forensic science and that may well be what she studies at
    university. If she becomes a competent esthetician first she will be
    able to pay her own way in a couple of years.

    The pitfalls of modeling are in the temptations
    of the lifestyle, that and the short duration of
    the career, sort of like sports. Otherwise, to me
    it's as okay as anything else and certainly more
    honorable than some occupations we can think of.
    I figure if you have an attribute that is in
    demand, it's okay to use it just so long as you
    don't damage anybody in the process.

    Raine and her two girls, Lexi and Charlee, are back in Fort McMurray
    Very glad to hear that update... :)
    I went into some detail about that yesterday ...

    On a food note, I made a pizza last night with some leftover ground
    lamb from making the meatloaf I described earlier: the toppings were
    tomato sauce, oregano, thyme, mint, ground lamb, diced leek (both
    white and green parts), a diced plum tomato and Feta cheese. The
    combination was quite toothsome.

    Lilli had a had to eat moment, and we hit the
    nearest place, which as is likely in much of
    Germany was a Turkish joint - she had a giant
    twice as much as she could eat doner sandwich
    for E5, and for another E5 I got two lahmacuns,
    which were pretty much as you describe (though
    that very thin middle-eastern crust, and as
    feta was something like 50c extra it didn't
    get ordered, that's my excuse anyway). They
    were pretty good, and I ate them both but
    could have done with one, especially if I'd
    helped Lilli more with her meal.

    Quoting Michael Loo to Jim Weller <=-

    I'm not sure how to phrase this about my own granddaughter without
    sounding like a degenerate creep but she does have a certain
    attribute.

    On a food note, I made a pizza with [...] tomato sauce,
    oregano, thyme, mint, ground lamb, diced leek (both white and
    green parts), a diced plum tomato and Feta cheese. The
    combination was quite toothsome.

    Germany was a Turkish joint [...] I got two lahmacuns, which
    were pretty much as you describe
    as feta was something like 50c extra it didn't get ordered,
    that's my excuse anyway).

    Unlike you, I like Feta.
