Nonsense! You are doubting that he ate It've seen how much he can eat at one
time. I will say that he doesn't generally eat three meals a day. Sometimes
it\s one meal.

I am perfectly comfortable here but there's a big storm rolling in. We coul
lose power and then I might be cold. I have electric heat.

I have decided, there is nothing I can say. You or someone else will twist
it into something else because you love drama.

I am in the process of transistioning over to my new computer. I doubt that
I'll put the news server on it. I'm only on two newsgroups now and the other
is essentially dead, save for one poster.

Where I am not comfortable is here, on this nerwgroup. It has become a most
unpleasant place.

I didn't say that. I said I wouldn't have to straighten it out. You took
what I said and turned the opposite way again. When I live alone, my pantry
is always organized. There is also far less food in it. Yes, I will have to
check dates on things. But I will never have to take all the cans of beans
out and put the kidney beans in one row because they would have stayed in
that row. And if I accidentally drop something, I will pick it up and put it
back where it goes.

He buys food. We share some food. Again, I don't generally pay him cash. I
do for some larger jobs. But our agreement was that he takes care of the day
to day things in exchange for room and board. Doesn't matter if you like it
or not, that's the agreement we made.

I don't eat lentils. He does. I have dried. He eats the canned. Again, ****
off.
