Fair is foul, foul is fair, don't get motor
oil in your hair.

At least not by accident.

At least not on purpose. I've heard of creosote
treatments for hair but not motor oil treatments.

It wasn't worse than other things that could
have bubbled up into the sink.

Organics, shall we say.

Which would happen only if the systems were
cross-plumbed for some reason, which I believe
would be a building code violation, and those
never happen. Right?

don't take any credit for it; vocal range is something you're born

with.

My friends the voice teachers would disagree with
that. Also Annie's former husband, who made himself
from a natural baritone into a tenor (with poor
success, though).

The possibility has to be there. With training you can expand your natural range a bit.

These days my voice is often not much more than
a squeak. If I'm told that singing is in my
immediate future, I can prepare for performing
a song or three, but after that it becomes a
worse squeak than before.

There's nothing special about special sessions.

Other than somebody getting overtime on the taxpayer's dime.

Legislators shouldn't get overtime. Maybe the
clerks and reporters do, given that they do actual
work.

Clean Dave wrote about a family that had mashed
rutabaga at Thanksgiving - it was kind of touching.

We have creamed onions; my brother in law thinks we're kind of touched.

Nothing wrong with creamed onions, especially
if made with aged Cheddar or real cream.

---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00

Title: Creamed Onions
Categories: Vegetables
Yield: 4 servings

8 White onions 1/4 ts Cayenne pepper
1/2 pt Whipping cream 4 tb Butter
4 tb Flour 1/2 ts Salt

Peel the onions. Parboil in about 3/4 cup water. (I do this part
in a covered casserole in the microwave). Make white sauce with
rest of ingredients. If you like a stronger onion flavor, thin the
white sauce with part or all of the onion water. Otherwise, thin it
with your choice of cream, milk, water, chicken broth or whatever
flavor you like. Add onions and bake at 325 to 350 until bubbly. If
you're a real creamed onion pig like we are, this will not serve
four. Source unknown. M's note - would be benefited by some Cheddar.

They used to use bear grease at one point, but not engine oil.

At least not on purpose. I've heard of creosote
treatments for hair but not motor oil treatments.

...and if I remember correctly those had to do with psoriasis or head lice
or something. Coal tar was used for some skin problems too, back when.

Never ever. No builder ever decided to save money that way.

There's nothing special about special sessions.

Legislators shouldn't get overtime. Maybe the

work.

On the other hand, they write the rules and set their own salaries.

Sounds better than the average. By tradition ours are the ones Grandma
made, boilers in a white sauce without the fancy ingredients. Like salt and pepper.
