I bought a heavy duty hose maybe eight years ago and it's just fine. It wasn't cheap. But that's OK, it doesn't tangle . . . and I've never had a link blow out. So they do exist, unless I happened to get the only good hose ever made. Keep the faith.by RAMbeau - Bucky's Pub
I have to stay away from my high horse on this subject. If it were not for the war in Iraq, nothing would have changed. The recognition of the Iraq veterans pulled the opinions of Nam vets along with them to the level they deserved. 30by RAMbeau - Bucky's Pub
When I was stationed in Germany, the father in the family I befriended was a Captain in the SS. He never talked about it, but Detlef explained to me that after the war, he destroyed everything military. He wanted no memories. He felt shame.by RAMbeau - Bucky's Pub
And not to start a conversation. . .Those returning from Nam were met with derision. . . unlike those coming off a WWII troop ship who were met by raucous, flag-waving throngs, parades and celebrations. Granted, the returning Nam vets filtered back. . . not in mass. But for me that changes nothing and although I ended not going over I'll always be a little resentful of that.

Especially in a garlic/butter sauce. When I was a kid, my mother made it often. When she did, she would mix it . . form it in a long roll. . . then cut the pieces. It was my job to take the pieces and run them through a cheese grater to create texture. One thing about gnocchi. . .

It's when you add sugar or other flavorings the good chocolate taste emerges. Now. . if you don't like flavorized dark chocolate. . . you need a taste bud rearrangement. Also. . . .

The garlic I get is from Spain. Which brings me to another point. High on my bucket list would be to attend the Gilroy garlic festival. MMMMMMMMMMMMby RAMbeau - Bucky's Pub
And it contains among the highest amounts of antioxidants of any food product, making it a super food along with blueberries, olive oil, garlic and red wine (in moderation).by RAMbeau - Bucky's Pub
I rarely eat fast food anymore. . . especially since, now, they've posted nutritional values. In some cases, one burger has all or exceeds the recommended daily allowance of fat, trans fats (anything over 0 is unacceptable),carbs. . . and especially salt. They've overloaded with salt to cut into the taste buds to give you the false sense the item tastes good. Salt is a killer. Literally.by RAMbeau - Bucky's Pub
in terms of food-related occupations. I don't recall what the entire conversation was about. .. but I'll never forget when they interviewed this lady. Her profession is a certified, full time chocolate taster. Lord, I would kill for that job.by RAMbeau - Bucky's Pub
That's funny. We had the old outdoor antenna, and my poor dad, despite the weather, would sometimes have to climb on the roof to manipulate it. . .then we had to set up a communications network with one in the living room, where the tv was, to another at the stairs to the upstairs bedroom shouting out through the window telling him how things were going.by RAMbeau - Bucky's Pub
Bud and Kelly Bundy going through antenna acrobatics bringing reception to an aged TV as Al, sitting on his couch, dictates directions So I have this vision of you sitting in an easy chair with your grandchildren going through contortions manipulating the antenna. . . and seeing the frustration on your face that the picture isn't perfect.

ultrasound is another way of doing it. I have no idea about the path through your finger. They know better than you and I. The test they use on me requires a tiny, tiny, tiny pin insertion at various parts of my leg that barely pierces the epidermis.

No, it isn't ultrasound. They attach electrodes to your legs with a slight pin insertion then get a reading on a machine to determine if there any clots.. I forget what the process is called. I have it done annually.by RAMbeau - Bucky's Pub
It was blood clots. There was a point in time when I couldn't walk 50 feet without my legs in pain. Unfortunately, I was diagnosed all the time with lower back problems. And then, one night, my foot turned black. And you know the rest. There's a simple, noninvasive procedure to determine if you have blood clots in your legs. It's no big deal, but I would advise getting it done as a precaby RAMbeau - Bucky's Pub
My knowledge comes from real life experiences. I've been through it, which has driven me to dig deep into the weeds to keep me from exacerbating or hopefully alleviating my condition.

Growing up Italian, garlic was a staple. . . much like ketchup. You could try garlic powder, but it isn't the same. The thing about this dish is that it is extremely healthy. . . garlic and olive oil are among health superfoods. And I always use whole wheat pasta.

To further explain. . . .You know when a pitcher is at the plate. . . bases loaded. . . two outs. . . and you see him take a deep breath. It's the same principle. . . it's that deep breath stimulating the Vagas nerve that calms him down. In yoga, it's to relax the muscles for a more effective stretch.by RAMbeau - Bucky's Pub
Actually, your "concoction" is delicious. . . and would cost a small fortune in a fine dining Italian restaurant. We always have garlic cloves on hand so I thinly slice the cloves -- lots, you can't have too much garlic -- saute them briefly in olive oil or butter then stir in partially boiled pasta, parmasean and whatever meats you have on hand. . . I prefer salmon if I have it. Andby RAMbeau - Bucky's Pub
