Hi Ben,
RH> When he was younger (he didn't say how young), he worked as a
RH> projectionist in a movie theater that showed movies not suitable for
RH> children. ...
BC> Ha! It sounds like his honorific was used affectionately and with
BC> good humor.
Very much so. I don't know how long you've read the echo to pick up on
what he did over his years but he had quite an interesting life. He
served in the US Navy, was a big rig truck driver, newspaper publisher,
movie theater projectionist and not sure what all else before retiring
at age 62. Found out he was bored so started to work for an auto supply
store, just retired from that this past fall after 20 years. Had a
number of health issues over the years, some stemming from being a
smoker in his younger days but lived a very full life.
BC> How about you, yourself. Did you ever have a humorous nickname, and
BC> if you did, is it something you would be willing to share?
No, never had anything of note and I strongly dislike/discourage the use
of a diminuative (i,e,y) with my name. Gave our older daughter a name
not suitable for using the diminuative with, younger daughter's name
could have had one but we always used the proper name.
RH> A fishing pole is a good cat toy--tie something to the end of the line,
RH> cast and reel in. I've a friend that owned several cats and they all
RH> enjoyed chasing whatever was at the end of the line.
BC> We have something like that in the closet here. Today i should dig it
BC> out and show our cat a good time. :-)
Watch the kitten come out! I sent my sister some kitty toys I'd made;
she e-mailed me that he is enjoying them.
RH> for Steve's birthday so we bought a roll at Wegman's. As good as Wegman's
RH> is for a lot of things, their pumpkin roll doesn't measure up to my home
RH> made one. (G)
BC> I would generally prefer home made over store bought, but honestly,
BC> any dessert that gets served to me is a good dessert. I made this
BC> fruit salad a few days ago and was happy with it:
Looks good but what, exactly, (know it's an Asian seasoning but is it
easily obtainable?) is Chaat masala? Where would I find it; I don't know
of any Indian/Pakistani grocery stores in the area?
