Hi Dave,

 DD> I have three pooches here to pre-wash the supper dishes. and they're
 DD> not picky, in the slightest.

 RH> Ours weren't either. Had just one dog until I was about 12, then my
 RH> folks added others, but never more than 2 at a time. We always had one
 RH> or 2 cats but they didn't usually get left overs--their treat was the
 RH> fish oil whenever my mom did anything with canned tuna. She would drain
 RH> the can into the cat's dry kibble.

 DD> Cats can be odd sometimes. I had one I named Spot (because she
 DD> followed me around like a dog) who I shared some hamburger-based red

Craziest cat name we ever gave one was Dog. Mom (Socrates, had a brother
Hippocrates) had kittens, dad thought we'd give them all away. To tell
them apart, he designated them Able, Baker, Charlie and Dog. First 3
found homes, mom cat died on the operating table during her spaying.
Hippocrates had passed on before that--found out there was a genetic
heart defect in that cat line. Kept Dog, kept the name. She went on to
have a litter at the start of the Apollo 11 moon shot so for designators
we used Neil, Buzz, Michael and Diana (Roman goddess of the moon).

 DD> gravy from
 DD> the spaghetti. She licked up all of the sauce and left the meat.
 DD> Pretty odd behaviour for a cat.

Quite so. We had a kitten and Sam who were both popcorn lovers.


 DD> I never have oil from tuna these days as I *always* get the "Packed in
 DD> Water" stuff. Haven't had heartburn since I switched.  Bv)=

This was in the pre "packed in water" days, took a long time for things
like that to reach our "neck of the woods".


 DD> This is from a cookbook I published (wish I had a copy) when I wore a
 DD> younger man's clothes called "Advice For The Newly Single". It was for
 DD> freshly graduated, living away from Mom & Dad for the first time. Or
 DD> newly divorced man on their own with no housekeeping chops nor cooking
 DD> skills.

 DD> It was first printed in my newspaper column, "The Dim View"

Put out a call for it on your neighborhood group; somebody may have a
copy or know of someone who knows someone with a copy.
