I answered something like this before! So to
speak, the term is.

Somehow you had 2 slightly different answers to the one message.

For some unknown reason I received two
similar but not identical messages; I
replied in similar but not identical ways.
If you didn't send two almost-the-same
messages, something exceptionally weird
is going on.

At this point, I don't know. It's been a hectic couple of weeks since we
got home so my brain is probably still a bit addled.

It would have been interesting had you said that
you definitively sent only one post, because I
certainly received two, with some parts the same
and some slightly different.

And then you get into the various kinds of
hot from the different species of chile, not
to mention the interplay of various heats when
used together - gingery, black pepper, the
capsicums, Szechwan pepper, and more.

Thing is that many people have limited experience;
and it's also possible - though inconceivable for
the likes of us - that some can't distinguish among
the various kinds of hot.

for doing difficult tasks such as adding a 1

No comment.

Not sure about the precollege education system,
but it is demonstrable that Humboldt University,
which for much of its long history was highly
respected and turned out world-class scholars and
scholarship, during the Communist regime became a
useless brainwashing tool and produced little;
I'm not sure about its reputation in the heart of
the Nazi era, when Jews and the unorthodox were
driven out of there in similar fashion.

At least you have a cell phone; do you text? My older brother didn't
have a cell phone, for years didn't even have a modem for his computer.
He finally got one and got on to fb. I don't think my other brother nor
one sister texts with their cell phones, don't think other sister has a
cell phone. Correction--the sister with a cell texts if she has to with
her phone but trys to avoid doing so.

I currently have no cellphone and do not text -
I recall having sent one text message of mine ever
from a telephone. Might have done one or two more
at someone's request from their phone while they
were otherwise occupied, such as driving.

For me in that arena it was Peter Pan, which I
still kind of like, and Log Cabin syrup, which
may be part of why I don't care for pancakes.

I don't like pb, not fond of pancakes either. Mom's pancakes weren't
that great so maple syrup was a big help there. P'cakes Steve and I made
were better, but heavier. I stopped eating them when I got the diabetes diagnosis--didn't want to be tempted to dump maple syrup on them and
spike the blood sugar.

I am not as disciplined as you and will in
all probability not achieve as good results
as you have.

Don't peanut-y.

I'll back out of here before we even get started--my brain is still

You're going to Skippy out of this?

No, be back in a Jif.

We should Leavitt alone.

For me, there are no must sees and no buckets,
just a lot of it would be fun to dos.

Probably the same here but some items higher on the "want to" see/do
list than others.

Perhaps; sometimes I look for things, but there's
nothing I overweeningly long to see. And idolatry
isn't my thing: witness my walking past Beethoven's
birth house and not stopping, grumbling at the
tourists clogging the street.

Lilli was talking about getting a dog, but the
question was, who takes care of it when you're
away for 100 days a year.

I know, I came to the same conclusion.

It's not fair for the pet or the property.

Blame it on sun spots or the heat wave?

Thing is that many people have limited experience;

I'd say most people haven't experienced enough of both cultures to know
there's a distinct difference. Probably the Tex-Mex hot is the one most familiar to residents of this country--unless you're of Asian heritage
or happen to really like Asian foods.

and it's also possible - though inconceivable for
the likes of us - that some can't distinguish among
the various kinds of hot.

It's possible--a dead palate?

It has lost the distictiveness it once had. To some extent some of the
older universities in the US have as well, but probbly not fallen as
far. Don't know for sure but what about ones like Oxford--is it still
the school of distinction it once was?

OK, I knew you had a cell phone a couple of times. We have only cells,
no land line. Started out without text service but when our girls wanted
to send pictures of their kids, we capitulated. Now texting is a quick
way to get hold of them or others; don't need to send an e-mail and have
to keep checking for a reply. (G)

Your choice as to how disciplined you want to go or not.

Don't peanut-y.

A brand I've not heard about. OTOH, Smuckers..............known more for
their jellies/jams but they also put out an all natural peanut butter.

Yellowstone and Mount Rushmore were on Steve's mental "must see" lists.
A couple of years ago I suggested the Petrified Forest, and in looking
at maps, he realised the Meteor Crater was do-able so we have now seen
them as well.

Lilli was talking about getting a dog, but the
question was, who takes care of it when you're

For sure not.
