Sean,

 di> I like my tuna sandwiches with a little salt and pepper.  Plain
 di> like me.

  I rarely season my food...but most all foods (especially the processed
ones) are drowning in sodium (salt). Whenever we ordered pizza, Janice
said "I want every anchovy you have in the place!!". I told her "You can
have those nasty things"...a massive salt lick, IMO.

  I asked her what would she do, if an anchovy dropped off on the floor
with the dachshund in the area. She promptly growled "If he touches it, 
he dies!!" <G> 

  Even though those who are diabetic and/or have heart issues, need to
limit their sodium, she apparently liked her food extra salty. So, I got
sarcastic with her, saying  "You must hate salt"...and she deadpanned "I
despise it"...while drowning her food in it. After her death, her Mom
asked why I didn't stop her. I replied that when I tried to, she just
gave me the "stink eye", so I shut up...as I knew I would never win that
argument.

  That was the ONLY thing she was jealous of...her food. She would eat
anything that wouldn't eat her first...she'd bite it back.

 DS>   Too many have more money than they know what to do with.

 di> Not always an enviable position but an extra $500 amount
 di> wouldn't hurt.

  If prices were like what they were 45 years ago, I could make it on
what I get for disability....or even get paid the monthly deal on a
bi-weekly basis. Yet, if you don't use all the money, they will figure
you don't need that much, and will cut down your disability payment.
You don't even get the chance to save up for a rainy day, as it were.

 di> ... You have my two cents' worth.  Now can I have my change?

  It's like the kid who wanted Santa to send him $50 for Christmas.
He wrote a letter, and got a reply back, but only a penny was in
the envelope. The child wrote back, thanking Santa, but noting "it
figures that the government would take nearly all of it out for
taxes". <G>

  Speaking of pennies, they are no longer making them. Businesses
are rounding up costs to make it come out to an even nickel, dime,
quarter, half dollar, or silver dollar amount (i.e. the Susan B.
Anthony dollars that looked like quarters, but they'd get you 5
games of pinball). 

  Many folks would put pennies on the railroad tracks to have a
steam locomotive run over them and flatten them...but that was
dangerous, as they could become projectile missiles, flying out
from the rail, then hurting or killing someone. Besides, railroad
right of way is private property, and they will get you for
trespassing.
