Subj : Minced Garlic To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Sat Aug 15 2020 19:44:00 Hi Nancy! Hmm: 'minced garlic'. Don't think that will be on the 'replenish the refrigerators and freezerslist'! BM>>> Late being better than not at all! Of course some people fail to BM>>> agree with that detail, no matter the reason. NB>>> Sometimes it depends on the situation.... ;) BM>> That's true! Great things have happened unexpectedly! NB>> Serendipity... BM> Plus attitude. "We're lost!" can result in " now we're going BM> to be late" to "let's enjoy the surprises!". NB> If there's plenty of slack in the schedule, the latter is the better NB> way to go... :) If one is going to be late for something relatively NB> critical, it might be less of a grumble and more of a worry.... BM> Yes, those 'all depends'. Might be one reason why I generally leave BM> earlier than necessary for almost anything: if something does cause a BM> delay there's some 'flex time' to accomodate and the crisis becomes BM> less of one. NB> I tend to do similar.... :) It was kind of fun doing the 'roughing it' thing without power. OTOH nowhere near camping as sleep in own bed. Light the gas stove with a long-nose lighter (electric start not work as no power.) Take a shower by flashlight. Biggest anxiety was trying to keep the food cold - finally just let that thought go. BM>>> Semi-gross but a natural event. Hopefully a recent mouse catch isn't BM>>> what caused the cats their cough and taste-lack episode. NB>>> Nah... haven't been any mice in the house for probably a couple years NB>>> now... and neither of these two has ever eaten any mouse or part NB>>> thereof here... caught and killed, but left entire... and usually, NB>>> I think, merely scared the mouse to death by playing with it... BM>> And so the mouse has decided while a nice place those cats don't make BM>> good hosts and so the mouse leaves, leaving a poor review on "Squeek" BM>> (the rodent version of Yelp). NB>> Fine by me... We didn't want their business anyway... ;) BM> Now you did it! Being prejudiced!! NB> Nah.... just not open for business... ;) Darn wage increases!
