Cheesy cheese is cheesier...

I pretty much like most cheeses. If it's available, I like Extra Sharp Canadian Cheddar - the older the better. (My grandfather used to say he didn't want any cheese that couldn't walk up onto the table by itself). The Canadians press their cheese more so it's drier, and at least around where I grew...

/CAPS ON

YOU WIN!

/CAPS OFF

Make me waste a perfectly good mule since all 24 of my/wife's/daughter's accounts are full.

But hey, certain customs must be fulfilled.....

So now what about the damn question?

Or are you going to be so lame as to insist it doesn't count if it isn't my main?

Please, seriously think through the problem: What knowledge, skills and goods do you need to take into this 'cave' if you and your family are to survive? If you wanted to prepare today for this event, what goods would you store that you would reasonably expect to keep for say.... 15 to 20 years? Let...

What would you do if the tech. safety net failed?

Many years ago, I saw a BBC series (with James Burke - before Connections) and the last episode was basically the subject headline. I seem to remember the premise he started with was for whatever reason trucks were no longer able to bring food into NYC, that the place would be a ghost town in 30 day...

There was a reference to those 'liberals' who had the nerve to enact laws that prohibits the US from directly assassinating a nation's leader (shucks Osama, no loophole for you). So now the US trains and funds a small group from that nation and then pulls their agents out. When the guy gets whacked,...

Looking for input, should I sing this song to my son? y/n

Heyas, I sang the following to my daughter when she was 3, and she really enjoyed it (probably didn't understand it, at the time heh). Well, 10 years later, we have another child, a son.... and since some people think my daughter is a liiiiittle warped, I'm rethinking this whole 'learning' process. ...

I'm still looking for a definition of developing. Which countries are developing? Hhhhhm, not certain on the exact definition; it's sort of a PC term for haves and have-nots. Does this help? It's a list of developing countries in alpha from the OEDC: http://www1.oecd.org/dac/htm/ldc-alfa.htm Member...

Just from the Brief Highlights section: • Over 70% of U.S. deliveries were made to developed nations in 1999. Western Europe was the largest importing region for U.S. arms, receiving 38%, East Asia was the second largest, with 27%, and the Middle East, third, with 21%. Help me with the math here.......

Falla... :) Here, let me pull one, just ONE sentence from the web site I extensively quoted: In 2000, the United States ranked first in arms exports to developing nations, accounting for almost half of all such deliveries . BTW, the web site is from the UN.... you'll have to decide whether that is a...

The Silk Road - DOH.

Mezzmor, Nice try. Follow trade back as far as the silk road caravans. Tell me what one constant was/is required by every merchant. This shouldn't take long if you are the student of history you claim to be. Buisness requires stability.... Not just for the U.S. , but for every nation. O M G .... Yo...

Let's try again. The short version with smaller words...

Okay.... I'm not US bashing, (well maybe a little), but let's try again... In the past 50 years weapons have been exported worldwide to people and countries with the full knowledge that they would be used to commit mass murder. Screw Nuclear disarmament, why do the major economic nations of the worl...

Aaahhh, Pyronius. People are quite bizarre...

It always amazed me that for decades the Russian government was able to effectively keep their own people completely in the dark regarding their activities. But the more I read, the more I discovered that what I had learned and read in American History books and newspapers regarding the US governmen...
