    Default Clean out PMs

    I received a PM from board member who asked my personal opinion on very person matters. My detailed response was rejected because the person's inbox was full. I think this board will only store 50 PMs.

    Deleting is an easy process and a poster can always copy back messages onto their Email account.

    Folks , my exchange was intense and foiled due to a full maibox. Get with the program and maintain your PM inboxes.

    I typically receive 20+ PM's a week, I for one cannot always keep up. Give them a bit of slack and cut n paste your PM so you can resend if needed.
    Few take the trouble to understand or to view the American scene with perspective. And we Americans love to find ourselves guilty of something. However, it is never I who am guilty, but those other Americans, the past or present government or the other political party. Americans almost never find other countries guilty. It is always ourselves or our fancied influence in other countries. Louis L'amour

    Cut who a bit of slack? Cut and paste and resend is obvious.

    I am the guilty party. I usually keep my message box open but in the past few days, it got clogged. I apologize... it is now clear

    Who? Whoever you're griping about.

    Thanks for the reminder, Bama. It's something everyone ought to have been reminded about: The 50-message limits includes both inbox and sent items. When the combined total reaches 50, you can no longer receive a PM and, if every PMer has about 40 stacked up, it is the equivalent of atherosclerosis for the site.

    What kind of cupcakes, Ms. Hale? Ice-cold milk included?

    You beat me to it. I was going to ask about milk too. Dunking drives my wife crazy, but I can't resist.

    Chocolate... of course. Rich, dark, creamy chocolate, with lots of thick buttercream icing. And ice-cold, fresh milk. Fresh in terms of fresh from the store, not fresh out of the cow, because that stuff's just completely bizarre-looking.

    Not whole, after I take a bite. Although malomars are the number one dunkable pastry, followed by chocolate doughnuts. I dunk bagels , toast but never pie as that would really be weird.

    I'll take a cupcake, but will pass on the milk. Don't drink milk. Unless it's in my special glass I keep in the freezer and with about 8 spoonfuls of Nesquik.

    If it's a single crust pie, I flip it over and eat the crust first, then the filling. If it's a double crust, I eat the filling first and the crust last.

    See, I would expect you to dunk them before you take a bite.

    Homogenization is my friend. I've seen unhomogenized milk. It looked lumpy at the bottom and watery at the top. Uh, no. Also, who knows what's living in it?

    From a cow. One of my dad's favorite old cowboy rhymes was, "Carnation Milk, best in the land...comes to you in a red and white can. No teats to pull, no hay to pitch. Just poke a hole in the son of a ****"

    I know the rhyme and have always thought it was funny. What passes for buttermilk here is pasturized, homoginized skim milk with some cultures added to sort of make you think it is kinda thick.. and a little bit sour
    Clabbered buttermilk> haven't seen it in years... now wher can one find that?
