Don't believe everything you read.

For example, "grivenas", otherwise known
in the real Yiddish world as grivens or gribbenes is chicken skin fried
in onion until just little crispy bits are left.  Very tasty with
unborn chicken eggs.  One of former Mayor Koch's favorites--
complained of trouble finding the eggs, though.  (Must not have
known Woody Allen's crazy cousin well enough)

It was also Pascal's last meal.

I've used hand pumped and pressurized sorts - no zaps either way.  I
can just barely think of a mechanism for shocks from a wet screen,
but none that wouldn't zap you just as much if you merely touched
the screen (dry).  And how would adding rubber gloves help ?

Ok, Brad, here's what you really want to know.

NEVER THROW OUT YOUR TORN OR WORN-OUT UNDERWEAR.

Wash it, tear off the elastic bits, if any, and
you got lint-free cloths.

This only works for men, by the way. Women's underwear

Hmmmm.  I'm having trouble with that last part.  Does the "only" go with

Thanks, Rashmi...sometimes (obviously) I get a little sensitive about
attitudes toward public education.  This is an issue on which I am pulled
in two directions.  I have always been a strong believer in public
education, but I have to admit that in many communities children can
receive a far better education in private schools.  While I agree with
Gilbert that the public schools won't get better if parents don't use
their influence to *make* them better, I can understand why concerned
parents, discouraged with the situation in their local schools, would
choose a private education for their children.  Fighting for a principle
is an admirable thing to do, but it's a hard choice when you feel that
you're sacrificing your children in the course of the fight.

My husband and I had a similar decision to make when we left Alabama and
came back to Texas.  One of the reasons we left was that our older daughter,
Kathryn, who was already of school age, needed a special education program.
None was available in the public schools, nor was there any response to
efforts to start one.  We honestly believed that it was the responsibility
of the public schools to educate *all* the children, and that they should be
forced to do so.  If we had been true to our principles, we would have
stayed and fought to get appropriate programs in the public schools.  We
weren't that brave...we looked at our little girl, who wanted to go to school
and needed to go to school, and decided to put her needs first. (BTW, it
was another five years before that school district implemented the kind of
program she needed.)

Strongly as I still believe in public education (I have 17 years invested
in it, after all), I can see both sides of the issue all too clearly.  I
certainly don't know the answer...but I wish *somebody* did.

I thought the All-Amazon T-Shirt idea might please the actual Amazons, and give

wearing them. And if their barroom buddies raise an eyebrow, why, they can just
say that it means they *assault* Amazons.

Is there a script file interfering?  Revise the dialing directory

Ditto. I've no idea what 'eighth' is relevant to either, but it's a

ken, looks like you have the day off.  In writing.  Hope you have
