Which explains why Engineers sometimes smell really bad.

He is an engineer and I work with a lot of them! It's true, too.

They actually smell fine.....I was kidding too. But the mine is really hot and when they come up they are sweaty- but most of them go shower right away.

but my boss's office does smell like stinky workboots. I think I am going to bring a Glade plug-in for him.

Speaking of plug-ins, how cool is this ladies- they actually supply tampons here! I was looking for a paper towel refill and opened up the big storage cabinet in the Women's Dry and there were two big boxes of Tampax- AND they were in slender, regular, and Super!

how many workplaces do THAT? Of course, there are only about 25 women out of about 250 employees, too.

Yeah, it's a shame to see the "Prairie Giants" disappearing. When I was a youngster, you never inquired as to how many people lived in a town, if you wanted to know how big a place it was. You just asked how many elevators it had. And they were all different colours too. I dunno', I guess it's progress. *SIGH*

This is great. In the damn machines you only get regular. It's nice to have a variety.

Hola Sol. I had a lovely dinner at an Indian restaurant in Brighton recently, and yes, thought of you when they served my shrimp dish with a wonderful cilantro dip. It was the most amazing dip I ever tried. I am trying to get the recipe from our friend in England. He's from India.

Nick!!!

I know, it's a nice 'extra'...like the free coffee and other drinks, and Advil and other meds.

yeah, they are all going away, slowly by surely....replaced by those huge inland grain terminals. Sigh, indeed.

Hola Mari! The other day, I made some tomatillo sauce with cilantro. It was so good. My plants have bolted so I need to plant some more seeds. Please do get that recipe, I would love to try it.

Maybe the bunny would be treated with greater reverence if it wasn't so darned tasty.
