I am pretty sure that convenience store milk used to be a lot more expensive than grocery stores. Not being a milk drinker, I was never in the habit of buying it there. I was surprised a year or two ago when we actually needed to get some milk and found they charged the same as the grocery stores. Eggs are competitive too. |

I am surprised that they have not caught on and become wide spread. I could explain it, but here is a video that does it quite well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjvV2Db3fGg |

That was quite interesting and now I understand the 'milk bag' mystery, hahaha. I would be just clumsy enough to knock over that pitcher in the 'frig but one time would convince me to be more careful. What is the difference in price of the milk bags vs. milk in plastic jugs?? |

I sporadically use some milk for cooking/baking and will very occasionally have some milk with dry cereal but I don't drink milk. My wife doesn't drink milk either but she goes through about 1/2 gallon a week for her tea and coffee, I drink coffee black, I don't drink tea. The gallon size would sour before she could finish it so she keeps one 1/2 gallon in the freezer. We tried buying the one gallon size because it costs less but more often than not it sours before it's finished so tossing some out there is no savings. |

My first wife of 14 years was a big time cheat, sshje worked and dwas intimate with her bosses. My second wife of less than one year was older than me and really didn't want to be married again. The third of less than one year who hung out at the gym was a cheat. My present wife and I have been happily married for thirty years. We both feel lucky to have met because we didn't want to spend the rest of our lives all alone. We knew it would work because both our parents became best of friends and had the same values....we've never argued about anything... we both accept each other's eating prefernces, I don't care that she won't eat onions and she doesn't care that I eat greens. Actually she's beginning to enjoy all kinds of greens that she has never met previously., And I don't mind eating onions when she's not home. Actually I find it somewhat difficult to cook without onions but I manage. Tonight it's fried Italian saw-seege, not sure with what yet. Dosen't matter, we've never argued about food... she doesn;'t care, she eats whatever I cook so long as no onions. |

Sorry, I seem to have forgotten what you believe you explained to me in long ago emails. I freely admit marrying my ex- was a mistake. He had this odd idea that once we got married I became his property. Let me state for the record: I never cheated on him. He accused *me* often enough. Guilt from the Gander? I got a call one morning on my way out the door to work: his boss wanted to know how he was doing. What? He said he'd been sick. Boss just calling to check on him. He'd been getting up and leaving the house dressed for work every morning but he hadn't been there for two weeks. I have *no* idea where he'd been going. After the divorce he harrassed and stalked me for *two years*. I was working as a secretary and had to get permission from my manager to tape the incoming phone calls. He stalked me. He showed up in the parking lot at work and just sat there next to my car. Later, he vandalized my car while it was sitting in my parents' driveway. I took pictures of that. He left me cards in my mail box. Thanks to the tapes and photographic evidence I pressed charges and had him thrown in prison. It was difficult to do. Initially I was told it was not a matter for the police, it was a "civil" matter. A "domestic dispute". Uh... we're not domestic, we're divorced. There were no stalking laws on the books in TN in the 1980's. So the phone calls and following me around weren't considered criminal. Vandalizing my car was. I was allowed to present the stalking/harrassment tapes and such into the proceedings at that point. He was convicted on "malicious mischief" charges. The judge and the prosecutor threw the book at him. Too bad the book only allowed 11/29. He never bothered me again. LOL Don't mess with Jill. > My present wife and I > have been happily married for thirty years. We both feel lucky to > have met because we didn't want to spend the rest of our lives all > alone.

It also depends on what he's calling "thick cut" pork chops. The thick cuts I find are at least 2 inches. Those, I split and stuff and cook (roast) them totally in the oven. Simply my opinion, I prefer 1/2" loin chops when pan frying. We can forget all about the zoftig comment. Jill |

With my first three after we split I never saw or spoke to them again, I've no idea if they're still alive. >> My present wife and I >> have been happily married for thirty years. We both feel lucky to >> have met because we didn't want to spend the rest of our lives all >> alone. > >Congrats! Really. You do know living alone doesn't mean "lonely", right? I tried living alone, I hated it. I think living alone is easier for women because single women are more accepting of other single women. Most men are too competitive, constantly having to outdo each other and boasting/exaggerating about everything. Even as adults they behave like kids playing sports. I never enjoyed male company and still don't... sometimes I just tolerate them. I find that most men are all mouth and no ears, there's never any conversation, it's all about their boring minutia, they are still like children constantly showing off their toy box. My living alone days were when I was much younger and I really didn't like all the alone time, nor was I ever one to hang at a bar, which was what most single guys did and still do. Now that I'm a lot older I don't mind stints of being alone for a day or two. However I know I wouldn't like being alone all the time. > We knew it would work because both our parents became best of >> friends and had the same values....we've never argued about >> anything... we both accept each other's eating prefernces, I don't >> care that she won't eat onions and she doesn't care that I eat >> greens.

She likes plain white rice so that's what we had with the sausages, and I know to make extra so she can freeze some to have later. >I don't care for the texture of onions but I sure as heck do cook with >them. A fine mince and they must be cooked until tender. When I say >"saute" I mean "soft". > >Jill I enjoy onions well cooked or raw. I like raw onions in all kinds of salads and in some sandwiches. I get my share of onions when my wife is not home, like today she will be playing in a golf tournament all afternoon. I'm welcome to attend but I don't play golf and I find it boring to watch. I'll be pruning three trees, two crab apple and one maple... their lower growth has gotten too much for the tractor to mow underneath, so we've been using a push mower, only they are in different directions making it a long walk pushing a mower. The golf club puts out lunch before the tournament starts, typically burgers. I'll likely have a tuna sald sandwich with raw onion. I've switched to sweet onions, I like them more than the sharp tasting onions. |

I wouldn't do that. >I would just cook 2 versions of a meal. That's why you live alone... loners never learned to get along with others... you would never make it in the military. I don't mind at all cooking for my wife and making what she likes... she gave up lamb chops for me. I didn't give up onions, truth is I wouldn't eat onions all that often anyway, and I still cook with onions because I know how to sneak some in, for stews I add a couple whole that I can easily fish out for me, for pasta sauce I'll add some onion but mince it so fine it dissolves and don't use too much, plus I use enough garlic to cover up the onion. When she visits her sons and grands they can eat lamb, nothing can cover up that stench, maybe a skunk. Cooking for 400 aboard ship I learned to prepare foods so that everyone would eat it. I don't mind catering to others, in fact I enjoy that, I get a lot of satisfaction from pleasing others. I get along well with most people because I'm good at compromising, it certainly appears that you prefer living selfishly, I never think about giving up things for others, to me compromising means sharing. |

I've had very few male friends, most of my friends were/are female. And as I've gotten older most people I knew are now gone. I only keep in touch with one person who served on the same ship with me and he says most from that time are gone. He Lives in Brooklyn and used to visit me here because his brother lived here but his brother passed on so he no longer visits other than by phone. Kids I grew up with and classmates who were friends are all gone. Of all the people I knew from work most are gone except for two who are in nursing homes on the other coast and are unable to hold a phone conversation. I recently checked the Yellowbook phone directory for a neighbor women in Shoreham NY, Long Island who I knew well because no one answers her phone anymore, says Anna Mae Snyder; deceased.... she was a year younger than me. That's the only negative I've found about getting older is that most everyone from the past is gone and its near impossible for older males to become friends as they share no history. I joined organizations and went to some meetings but then stopped going because there was no comraderie, a two hour meeting once a month with no one speaking to each other afterwards did nothing for me. |

The irony is that you described yourself and your behaviour here to a T, but have absolutely no awareness of it.
