I do like a man in the Happiness business! Kiln drying and pre-testing/inspecting would eliminate many problems the competitor faces. But then it comes down to a completely different mind set. You try everything you can to prevent the common problems and the competitor just tries to make excuses or ignore the problems (classic ostrich management). A wise manager does not allow the customer to get to an angry state, because there is very little chance of salvaging an angry customer.

Sanny....you cracked me up with an image of a rehab full of attorneys. I can just see the counselors never getting a word in as all the attorneys argued over the semantics, the participants scheming the entire time how to generate billable hours for their efforts. Which reminds me of a joke I heard recently. Why do attorneys own sailboats instead of motor boats? They can't figure out how to bill a client for the gas......Well you said the jokes had to be clean!

So you got the tiles that tell you when your sexy little BBQ is having a hot flash? So does it sweat and get cranky too? You could name it the Menopause Princess. Someone has to take up the slack when Curly is gone!

Does anyone know why the forum was down late yesterday and early today?

Deej...the grills need 30 sq. ft of tile. ...but I think Leaddog is kidding.

Sanny...A beer (or soda) can will still work, and you can place it in the center of the dutch oven, or a cake pan. Some of the new energy drinks come in taller cans, and some in narrow cans. You can get one at the minit marts. I'm doing an appetizer of home cured olives tossed with olive oil, garlic and basil. Started an 18 lb prime rib roast slathered with a paste of charcrust garlic peppercorn, grey salt, olive oil, garlic, fresh herbs including tyme, basil, oregano, rosemary, and flat leaf parsley. Used apple wood for smoke. The turkey and the remainder of the meal done by the other relatives. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Careful, I gonna take away your meds and send Curly's wife to see you!

Yeah...now I'm one step closer to being a geek!

Curly wrote: I had to place my german shepherd on that medication for his allergies. He chewed the clasp off the food container and was free feeding. He gained 15 pounds so quickly. I started feeding him ice cubes to snack on, and he would eat multiple bowls at a sitting. I have also had friends tell me of the enormous hunger it gives them.

So Johnnyboy....what is your favorite KK color?

Curly wrote: Leaddog...this may be a mischievious prank on the part of Curly with a credit towards Robin Williams.....In his monologue, Robin Williams at the Met, he jokes about a baby's waste product being a combination of nuclear waste and velcro. Given Curly's previous description of your color, and the current comment about glowing in the dark, I think Curly is pulling your leg again.

I'm going back to bed.....I had a quote and answer to the Vets Day issue and a quote and answer about the tu-tu. Somewhere along the way I did not get it all there. I think Deej is manipulating my posts

Johnny...I hope you have a nice big Hawaiian print for the tu-tu.

I agree... completely inappropriate rebuff of the posters and the topic.

I reset it once, and it worked. Back to the instructions

I see potential to embellish the cream cheese mixture to complement the pepper and bacon. Possibly marinated sun-dried tomatoes.

Thanks for the heads up....I think I was one of those people that absorbed the 'just say no' campaign....especiall since I did not know what BBC was (Curly is right) Curly wrote: Well I can tell by her smile that she is a force to be reckoned with. And we all know Jasen won't cross her.

Deej.....you could give netiquette lessons to the Jersey boy admin for the Mexi-K

You made my moring Curly. I would guess this group is never gonna have a cook-off cause I don't know that you would be safe if you showed up

You know Curly, I would jump in there to help you, but I think the insurgents are well armed with your quotes! twharton...whatever color that is, it is one of my favorites...I hope the delivery guy doesn't get detoured to the wrong address

Actually I was just lumping you into that larger category of attorneys.

If only more men could be so insightful......it would put a lot of Sanny's colleagues out of business!

Leaddog...maybe they don't like the color of his BBQ's

I will have to check the brand on that mango pineapple chipottle sauce when I get home and post it. I don't remember the brand. It just exceeded my expectations. I think it may have had apricot in it also. It was not tomato based.
