Tom will be back late, soooooooooooooooooooooo Bill, what is for breakfast or are you still full from supper ?
1/4 of these are my breakfast, another 1/4 will be my lunch, then the other 1/2 are my supper. ( My wife does not cook, I guess I should have asked that in the pre-nup ? ).

Wrightdigger, good luck on your sleeping quarters at the Hilton, I mean Tom's place. If you remember, he posted pictures of my sleeping quarters he prepared for me when I visit and it looked exactly 100 % like an old 1800's outside "outhouse" and what was weird was the LOCK was on the outside of the door !

Simon,
Well here's another Italian style story that's real. When I was working in Railway marketing one of our good sized customers was a cheese company and we probably handled about 250 trailerloads of cheese and related products from Montreal to Western Canada per year.
This company is now on the stock exchange and has divisions in the US and even in Australia I believe, but I digress at that time rumour had it that in the early days they borrowed money from the mob to get started originally. Well when we went to visit the company to do some negotiations the office was in a non descript building in an industrial park but there were a bunch of black limos parked around the building which got me thinking......
So we sat down with the traffic manager to enjoy a coffee and at that time you didn't really see their products on the shelves at grocery stores much if at all. When I asked him where most of their cheese and other products were sold he told me pizzerias. So acting innocent I asked him what their market share was in Montreal was and the answer was get ready for this.....
85% now not only was I working in marketing but just plain common sense tells you nobody has a market share of 85% without some muscle being used......

Simon,
A little something that might help one of my brothers has suffered from ulcers most of his adult life and about 10 years ago before he died his family doctor recommended a series of shots for it and they cleared up.
Another option worth considering I'd say about 15 years ago I had a cyst under one of my arms the size of a golf ball which I had to have treated. I won't go into the gory details but let's say the meds they put me on for the infection really messed up my digestion and coffee irritated me to no end. I did some research and started eating some plain yogurt first thing in the morning within several weeks the problem cleared up and no issues since.

Sorry HBP, I have mine trucked in so I don't know how they make it
View attachment 1630896 I have had ulcers since I was 15 years old so my coffee is "medium" blend or less. The restaurant coffee kills my stomach every time. I believe Tom drinks the coffee that you have to cut with a knife. He has posted pics before of it being fed to him intravenously, much the same way I do with my Mountain Dew.

Hillbilly Prince,
Most of this stuff I just seem to trip over while surfing the net.

Oh yes, I remember. We then got a history lesson on "waste management"
