This was the first time I had seen it around here. There were other types of
foil wrap last year, but that was just like aluminium foil - creased and
ripped too easily..... I think this stuff has a type of plastic coating on it.

Great minds... so they say! I did exactly the same things in the same order.
Now I've started using rolls of adhesive labels - they don't stick very well
in our humid climate and thus are quite easily removed. If the paper has a
very rough texture, I sometimes print up my own labels.... what else would
you use a computer and printer for?.... and tie them on with coloured twine.

  You have a more comprehensive dictionary than I have, Gunga Din. Thanks.
Now since I can't translate "Job Corps" by translating "a US government

By whom? Let's start with Paglia herself. She announces often and loudly
that she is against the feminist agenda and against as many feminists
as she feels able to name. She at times claims she is a feminist, but not
one who subscribes to any conventional "feminist" goals, principles, or
ideals. Her works are quite explicit. Can you find anything in her
writings or in her public appearances to the contrary?

In our neighborhood the cry was "Fresh peas....already shelled."  They

maybe strawberries.

Explain to me then, why so many people find the use of Christ and
Jesus Christ so effective as swear words, rather than Hitler, or Stalin,
or Pontius Pilate. Funny I don't hear anyone taking the name of Moses
or Mohammed, or Allah or Buddha in vain.

Please ... don't be so disingenuous; it's embedded in the culture; christian
imagery dominates US culture. None of the three aformentioned 'gentlemen'
serves as the basis of a religious movement.  BTW, I don't use such phrases
routinely.  Seems to me I've heard "holy Moses" more than once?  nicht wahr?
As for Allah or Buddah, who knows what occurs outside our little corner of
the world's cultures.

As I recall, there is evan a professed Christian on this list who thinks that
because GOD is misspelled, it removes the use of HIS name in vain.  At least
that's what I infer, since it's done so often.

So, your particular Christian sect forbids oaths?  A little inconvenient
in enlisting recruits in the Crusade??

What's the status of blackberry vines where you are? Here, they're considered
a 'noxious weed' and we're not allowed to grow them in our backyards. This
always struck me as strange since the local nursery still sells young vines.
We have to find wild vines growing in the bush.... usually on Council
property - they prosecute anyone who grows them but they're a bit lax in
cleaning up their own backyard.... which is just as well, otherwise we could
only get the tinned variety from other states or overseas.

past 4 ... what a bummer.  But, find out I can mess   up at blinding
speeds....OK.  Now have about 101 MG of software insalled (know how to
use about 20 MG of it (games .. yuck).  But I'll get the rest of it ..
kind of like CorelDraw, but that's mostly for Dawn.  Hope you haven't
all forgotten me and that you're all behaving yourselves ...you know
New Years resolutions ....ah, too old for that stuff.

                            Peace,
                                  Don

I've just spent most of the day making the most delicious Brunswick stew!
I'll restrain myself from posting the recipe to the list, but if anyone
would like it, let me know and I'll send it to you privately.

  No, not that kind. What does "nappy" mean in the following description:


    ...he [an "enormous demented Negro"] still had lumps the size of
    birds' eggs on his nappy head.
