| Need some perspective from the group. I do the majority of my shopping off hours when there are very few people around (usually, early morning). However, occasionally there will be a person standing in front of whatever item it is I need (sometimes, of all things, talking on the phone). If you've ha... |

| Anyone else notice things that nobody else does, and go through the pitfalls it can cause in interactions? An example is in working with a friend to refinish some furniture. The duties were split, and my portion was last. As things are "handed off" to me, I find little areas that are not complete (o... |

Haven't considered whether or not I'm a fan of "eye tubes" but I sure like EIMAC tubes!  Had a friend who was a broadcast engineer (and fellow amateur radio op) and I used to love the glow from the 3-500Z. Other faves: 4-400, 572B, the versatile 811, and the 4-125  . |

| Wob, have you ever had a milk allergy? I know you say you drink a lot of milk, but one thing that came to mind when you said sausages bothered you was casein sensitivity. Milk proteins can be added to some meats (makes them easier to slice). I, for one, got quite sick on beef and even ham - until I ... |

| Radio was always a special interest for me, so it seemed natural to become licensed. I initially struggled with the code, but once I learned it I got pretty good at it and could "converse" in the 40 - 50 wpm range. In my teenage years, I also taught myself the old "Morse telegrapher's code" - quite ... |

| Interesting thread! I rarely watch any television - in fact my set still uses 1950s technology (no HD) - but when I'm somewhere watching with others, the loudness wears me out. I love watching with subtitles, too, as I don't want to increase the volume to compensate for the inevitable "mumble" or ga... |

| A long time ago, I used to work a second-shift job. How I loved leaving work around 9 pm or so, having little traffic and congestion to deal with, having all stoplights change my way (being among few vehicles on the road) and a whole late night to enjoy while others slept. I guess I've had it both w... |

Now I can obtain what's "nice to have" without waiting for it to be a gift :wink: (The Kindle, too = r... |

A very bad reaction will cause a type of brain fog that feels like I'm trying to think and function through pea soup - the answers are there, but I have to work to get them. My neurons us... |

Examples are soy-sauce anything, cured ham, parmesan cheese, feta, beef - and of course, anything with MSG. To ... |
