    Hi Dave,


    As my next natal anniversary will have an eight as the lead number I
    am pretty selective in the types of employment I seek. Delivering car parts is ideal for me as a goof part of my "work" involves sitting on
    my butt and aiminig a vehicle through traffic. Bv)=

    Plus, you get the interaction with people while on the job. After my
    life otherwise just stopped, with rare exceptions. I think the
    interaction with people is good for "keeping you going".

    I enjoy helping people - which is why I'm in the job I'm in. Heck,
    it's also (interacting w/others) why I prefer going out to eat rather
    than
    sitting at home alone, stuffing my face.

    Sounds like a good fit. We eat out more than we did when we were younger
    but still do most of our meals at home. Saturday Steve was
    teaching/testing a radio class; he called about 5 and told me to get
    ready to go over to Showmar's for supper. They're a Greek/Southern small
    chain, opened up here a few years ago. I had calabash shrimp, grilled
    summer squash and Greek pasta salad. No fuss, no clean up. (G)

    Made something new (to me) and unique for supper last night. I had got some brat-burger patties on "last day of sale" at a deep discount and cooked them *all* on my George Foreman grill before they "turned".
    Then stashed them in my red-neck Tupperware (recycled plastic dish w/cover).

    Sounds good, and by pre cooking them you have a fast meal available without a lot of fuss.

    Other than thawing them in the icebox ahead of time - I've done the
    sucky bad thing in individual patties and bunger the excess into the freezer.

    We use our vaccuum sealer quite a bit too--think we're on at least #4.

    I also was down to my last cinnamon-raisin bagel. So I toasted the
    bagel and buttered it, nuked a brat patty (cheddar-bacon) for 30
    seconds to warm it up. Put that on the bottom of the bagel, top
    with a slice of havarti cheese and three strips of pre-cooked bacon.
    Put the top of the bagel on and back into the microwave for 20
    seconds to warm everything up and et voila' - supper .... sided
    with ripple potato crisps. I'll be doing this again.

    I had a cinnamon-raisin bagel (half) for breakfast this morning. (G)

    You have more restraint than I. If I'm doing just a bagel - I do both halves, toasted and slathered w/butter. Bv)=

    I eat only half of a regular size bagel so I can have some yogurt with
    it and still keep my morning carb count reasonable. Bagels get either
    butter or soft cream cheese. Wegman's was out of the latter a couple of
    weeks ago so I got some labne--it's sort of a cross between yogurt and
    cream cheese--good on a bagel.
