Back then, botulism didn’t matter. Everyone always boiled canned vegetables for five minutes after opening the bottle. That kills the toxin. I remember being warned to not eat a bean out of the bottle while I was heating it up or I would die of botulism.

I still wash my hands without touching anything first out of habit.

It was improper for Jeanne to have accepted Valentine’s or birthday gifts from me before we’d known each other six months? Oh, the money i could have saved!

This is the funniest thing I’ve read in a week, kevinf, but you can’t fool me — you want us to think you checked into Keepa to read this morning’s post, but we all know you’re here to check on the next installment of the serial. Give it up. You can’t hide.

After much effort, I’ve decoded the questions involved in the numbered sequence from “LR.” They are from “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?”

1: Regis Philbin: Did you think you’d get this far? LR: No
2: RP: Do you want to quit now? LR: Certainly not!
3: RP: Is that your final answer? LR: Indeed it is.
4: RP: Where does the number 19 come in this sequence? LR: Not before 17 or 18.
5: LR: May I use my lifeline and call my Mom? RP: Yes, your Mother certainly knows.
6: LR: May I jump the question? RP: No objection, if you wish it.

I’m sure that Regis was doing TV in 1912, wasn’t he?

The recipe for bottling corn, peas, and beans is just asking for botulism.

I think the advice to take a break and rest is excellent.
