While I was checking out I grabbed some bananas. The cashier looked a

LOL. Just goes to show that the cashier doesn't do their own shopping,
or cooking, probably.

They're not always sold that way here. Target sells them per piece.

In cities here there are places for office workers to choose a take-
away picnic lunch; they all seem to sell whole apples and bananas priced
by the piece. I don't think they even have scales to price anything by
weight.

For the record, I never once even considered sleeping with you. And
you know that. You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was
going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the
total blue.

After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3
years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of
romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY
MOVING IN WITH YOU?

That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the
screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too
spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands
down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least
he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar
at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2
years.

Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why
your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation
and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd
prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away.
There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo.

And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of
grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done
in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people
about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as
if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're
manic depressive mixed with habitual liar.

Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles.

A deli would sell by the piece. They also sell cold cuts by the slice. You
probably cost that poor kid her job. Congrats.

The Wall Street veteran whose multi-million dollar mansion hosted the
first fundraiser for Jeb Bush’s newly created political action committee
held a top job at an insurance brokerage that was sued by the state of
Florida for swindling clients while Bush was governor.

Charles Davis was the vice chairman of Marsh and McLennan Companies
during much of the time that Florida officials accused the company of
taking kickbacks and rigging bids.

Now the Democrats who uncovered the company’s legal troubles are using
them to question Bush’s judgment at time when he’s beginning to look
more and more like a presidential candidate.

“Why would you ever go back to somebody who has ripped you off,” asked
Ben Ray, spokesman for the Democratic Super PAC American Bridge.

Sure, makes sense in a sandwich shop or the like.. I've never seen them
by the piece in supermarkets or grocery stores. Size varies to much

By the slice? Never saw such a thing. You mean like ham is 12 cents a

Only if sold by the piece, not if sold by weight. We still don't know
for sure. Someone had to go to the deli and check the price sign.

No Einstein. She had looked up the price and counted them out. When I
said they were sold by the pound not by the piece she looked again and
weighed them. I shop at the store frequently and I often by bananas, and
they are always sold by the pound.

Actually, she apologized to me. When I told her the bananas are sold by
the pound there, she checked again and then weighed them. They are sold
by the pound there.

There are places were bananas as sold by the piece, and any I have seen
sell them singly, not in bunches.

You said they sell it by the slice. If they use a scale, they are
selling it by the pound. Learn the difference before you make snide
remarks.

Bananas are usually sold by the pound too, but some places will sell by
the individual piece. Like one banana for 75 cents versus 50 cents a
pound.

me: I will have 4 slices of the mortadella.

worker: Slices 4 cuts. Places it on the scale, dials the number for
mortadella. That will be 1.23 cents.

me: Thank you

By bananas? How could she have looked up the per piece price if they were
not sold that way? Little hole in your story there, Mr. Keillor.

How about she looked it up and saw the 50 cents and assumed it was by
the pound, because when I questioned it and she looked it up she charged
by the pound, and at the same rare per pound that they usually are.

It's easy to suggest that the above diagram indicates that Jeb Bush is

But it's important to remember that the foreign policy team of any

the past three Republican administrations - each of which had a Bush at
or near the top.



Many of the foreign policy names on the alternate-universe Mitt Romney
transition team appear above - although Romney branched out a bit more.
That may be because he was four years closer to the low point of the
Iraq war and some of the Bush-era advisers on foreign policy were still
too damaged.



Bush has access to a lot of people by virtue of his family's long
history in Washington.



That can be a mixed blessing.

"Each president learns from those who came before - their
principles... their adjustments," Bush plans to say in Chicago.



"One thing we know is this: Every president inherits a changing
world... and changing circumstances."

And, on occasion, they inherit the same advisory team...

Sold by the piece and charged by weight is still selling it by the slice..

1.23 cents is a perfectly acceptable way to say 1 dollar and 23 cents
because it is understood we are talking currency. In this case US curency
and not the pound, yen, baht or dong. Most school children know this.

I'd like to see you cooked off on a flat top, you woman-stalking rodent:

For the record, I never once even considered sleeping with you. And
you know that. You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was
going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the
total blue.

After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3
years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of
romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY
MOVING IN WITH YOU?

That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the
screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too
spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands
down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least
he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar
at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2
years.

Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why
your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation
and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd
prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away.
There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo.

And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of
grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done
in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people
about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as
if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're
manic depressive mixed with habitual liar.

Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles.

What I found amazing is how many people sided with the clerk yet have
never been to the store and never saw how they were priced. I can see
selling by the piece at a lunch counter, but I've never seen it that
way in a grocery store.

That should not be too surprising here. The only only exercise some of
these fools get is jumping to conclusions and stabbing people in the back.
