All the more reason not to give them a writeup.
We're giving them the write off.
From what you've said that's abundantly clear.
So now you've been warned. (G)
Abundantly.
Well, in the situation described, it's a foregone
conclusion, because I've already been seated by
the restaurant with a bunch of strangers; and
invariably the strangers don't mind, as it's Europe.
The lack of language communication isn't generally
relevant, and a good time has been had by all.
That's worth everything in the long run.
Abundantly.
We started cutting back or cutting it out many years ago. When I was

One has to take things with a figurative large
grain of salt but a literal small sprinkle.
Or as I've said, "sometimes a grain or two, other times the whole
shaker".
Abundantly. But for me, never a whole shaker, even
in pickling or cooking pasta.
To cook, yes. To eat, not so much, IMO.
We were talking of literal heat here, though to survive with
the 200-line limit I have to cut back my replies quite a lot,
so it might not be quite clear to you what the context was.
OK, I'm trying to edit.
Abundantly! [g] - We err in opposite directions - I
tend to overchop, you keep your quotes too intact.
Odds and ends, buy outs of this and that. Not much in the food line
but > books, some clothing (seconds/irregulars), furniture,
kitchenware,
planters, plants.........................
Figured that, as you seem to have bundled the place in
with the similar stores which we've been talking about.
Just verified what you were figuring.
Abundantly.
I always ask for guidance regarding guests' dieatary
issues. I suggest you all do the same, or else offer
a take it or leave it situation.
We have, not always gotten a response tho. First year we went to VT, as
we were shopping, one team member came up to us and said that she had to
eat gluten free and had a number of other food issues. She was quite pleasantly surprised that even on such short notice, we were able to do
all the meals so that she could eat everything. Subbed out a gluten free pasta, got gluten free tortillas and so forth. Haven't had problems
since then but we ask every year about allergies, just to be safe.
It's slightly unfair to pull that on such short notice, even
though you managed to roll with the punch. I'm back now, and
Bonnie is back, and she invited people over for dinner for Monday
but has not inquired about food allergies/sensitivities/preferences,
and of course the burden will be on me. I was a little put off.
but there's still time to recover from that one.
Interesting. In Houston, they charge 60s for seniors
and nothing for over-70s.
Is the ridership there/the lines and stops convenient for people?
Not abundantly. In the city, it's fine, but Houston is so
spread out that there are large blocks of territory that
have minimal or no public coverage - similarly to other
large cities, such as LA and Denver.

Some things do work out, though one doesn't
always understand why or how.
We didn't question, we just accepted.
Never.
It got us good beef, at no cost. Just had to get the ration cards
marked.
I'd be uncomfortable with that, even if it was good beef.
I'm holding off on cataract surgery until the knee is better. The
eyes > aren't to the point of urgent; I've got some time yet but probably
before the year is out...............
With me, it would be urgent, except some of the
docs think it's too risky.
Caught between a rock and a hard place?
Caught between the danger of death from falling or
being squashed by a car and that of losing the eyes
altogether (or worse).
We had no choice--take the pb&j.
Or leave it and go hungry, which is a viable alternative.
Couldn't--Mom worked at the school & her lunch time was the same as
mine. Small enough cafeteria she would have seen me ditch it.
Oh, well, it was worth the thought.
Benadryl has some uses that other antihistamines don't.
It worked for me.
Title: Better Than Better-Than-Sex Cake
I've also heard this called "Robert Redford" (G) or Hummingbird
Cake.
Is Robert Redford better than anything at all?
Not that I'm aware of. (G)
I've watched exactly one title in which Mr. Redford has
appeared in any prominent position, and that's because the
girl I was smitten with at the time, her cousin directed
the movie.
