which reminds me - I swear - I see refined beet sugar around sometimes - I am gonna try to get a 10 pound bag.

Now if I was Stevklar, I'd order it off of amazon and throw in some lube to get the free shipping...

Also, my devious little child has managed to eat the last of my saltines and I wanted nothing more than cheese, pear, and saltines.

You don't like sugar?

1. Cane, si man.

2. Maple, si man.

Many. Fake, si man.

Many. Beet, excluded man.

Tarklar only likes Cheap Cheap!

Rant, now that you mention it, si ma'am: I've been out of cheap for two full days, sigh man, and have resorted to eating Mini-B.'s goldfish, wee man. A full bag thereof has been devoured, ingest man.

Pre used sugar?

That would probably be metabolized in the pancreas, the lungs, the liver, and all the living things in the abominable cavity, see ma'am. However, when I was single, I was able to fulfill my entire sugar requirement by filching those little sugar/fake-sugar packets at restaurants, efficient man.

The First Trimester, si ma'am, and respect and shudder and tremble in fear, we men.

I shall never forget, no man, an eve during Same when Mrs. T-B. was pre-parturient with Mini-B.-to-be, she and pre-wee man. It was Many:Many p.m., and we were lying in bed, pre-zzz man. Mrs. T-B. suddenly turned to me with a vicious snarl and said, "I want mangoes! Very hard, and very green!"

I had only Many minutes before the supermarket closed, but Heaven assisted the successful procurement of very hard and very green mangoes, whew man.

Perhaps there is a convenience store, such as a Kwik-Stop or a Many-Many, still open, where Mr. Nola can find some saltines, si ma'am.

Rant, see man: If Mrs. T-B. turns out to be the pre-Final Mrs. T-B., pre-she man, the first thing that I shall do is to hurl every spaghetti-tong in the casa as far from the casa as every spaghetti-tong formerly in the casa can possibly be hurled, grrr man.

Rant #2, see man: Dry-cleaners still can't find my shirt, no and grrr man. Chica said that perhaps someone would turn it in sometime soon, or else she can do one of two things, these man: Give me a cleaning credit of Many to Many times the price of one shirt-cleaning (as though I'd ever want to go back there, right man); or go look in the back to see what unattended substitute shirt she can find for me, restitution man.

Rant #3, see man: Before dishing the warsher, I resolved to make the remaining Many lunches for the remaining Many workdays of the workweek, si man. After finishing the making of the Many'th lunch, it occurred to me that today was Wednesday, the Many'rd day of the workweek, and so I would need only two lunches, not Many, dawn on and no man. Accordingly, I must hope that the Many'rd lunch remains reasonably edible while languishing in the refrigerator for Many days until Monday, gag me man. If it does, as has sometimes happened, this will enable the purchase of one package of Many of hamburger buns to cover the rest of next week, rather than two packages of Many buns, this last of which results in one bun always being inefficiently left over, Tarkculus man. It is hoped that all participants in this thread will pull or even pray fervently that the aforementioned Many'rd lunch survives its refrigeration exile, plea man.

Dead-tired, want zzz man.

Must stay up another approximately Many (2x2x2x2x2) minutes till dishwarsher stops, sigh man.

Should optimally wait another Many or so minutes beyond that for proper drying, sigh man.

Want to zzz after taking heap-strong back-medicine, plea man.

Why not zzz now and de-dish warsher in morning, you ask man?

A good casa-husband finishes all duties before retiring, pre-zzz man.

Furthermore, Mrs. T-B.'s penchant is to mix dirty items with clean in the warsher, sigh she man.

We have learned this the hard way, ADD she man.

In addition, our morning back permits no emptying or similar functioning, ache man.

Thankfully, a lively and delightful Singapura is in the thread, Kitkat ma'am.

Absent, ABSENT Asia is nowhere to be seen, oj nie.

They are still working on last year's grain because BNSF is slow. The soil is very fertile and they grow alot of grain and sugar beets among other things.

Yep lots of farms doing very well up there. And all the floods just keeps making the soil better. Also the train rails are so busy with moving Bakkan range crude oil to market, the grain shipments are getting out slower plus its more expensive to send by rail.

You're speaking of green mangoes for the many manyth time. So I shall rant on green mangoes, what the H E double hockey sticks happened to the green mangoes this year? And golden mangoes, its been friggen zilch! Yah a few showed up in the market place, but these are things that are normally around most of the year, but not this year. The friggen Asian grocery stores have even taken to marking those lousy tasting round, and not kidney shaped, mangoes as green mangoes. And they are not a proper substitute at all! I miss my green mangoes and golden mangoes!!!!
