    POPEYE'S BACK

    This is great. I loved the old Max Fleischer Popeye cartoons but have only seen the worn out , edited TV versions. This should be fun. bob

    Foods I can't find in my present location and regional specialties.

    Ah Moxie elixir--I knew there was a taste buried in there that was not necessarily a food product. I think you nailed it with the "courduroy jacket" filtration. Still, I like the stuff. I think of it as the world's strangest root beer like product. For those brave West coast people who want...

    Help from Loungers in San Francisco/ Bay area

    Hmmmm Depends on your persepctive I guess. I am also a local born and bred guy and I try to avoid San Leandro, Castro Valley, Dublin, Livermore, Walnut Creek and Concord. San Francisco and Berkeley are alive and vital and actually have a culture and art--the other places are just the bland...

    Planting from Seeds

    I always grow my veggie garden from seeds. There is a huge variety available from the seed catalogs that are never sold at your local garden center. Unfortunately, the gophers took over my backyard a few years ago and have destroyed any further attempts at gardening. If any of you have any...

    I love Public Radio

    They have several YEARS of programs archived at the site---plays on real player and I think something else. http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/programs/ jazzbass

    Espresso and French Press?

    Yeah, I saw the big "S1" right after I posted. For now, I'll blame my poor observational skills on my bad vision. :) jazzbass

    Persistence-sustained effort necessary to induce faith

    I know what you're saying but I think of that as "trust"--maybe we're just having semantic issues. I DO trust people, but never 100%. That would seem foolishly naive. jb

    Persistence-sustained effort necessary to induce faith

    Maybe you should have titiled the thread "persistence in achieving one's goals." faith n 1: a strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny; "he lost his faith but not his morality" [syn: religion, religious belief] 2: complete confidence in a person or...

    Persistence-sustained effort necessary to induce faith

    How did you arrive at that? Reason means using critcal thinking skills and analyzing a situation accurately and thoroughly. Justifying only "negatives" would hardly be a reasonable analysis. It seems like you're redefining words as you go along just to support your statements. jazzbass

    Persistence-sustained effort necessary to induce faith

    I guess I'm confused why you would WANT to have this level of "faith' in another "fallible person". Your decription of your faith just seems like denial to me. jazzbass

    Espresso and French Press?

    Wow! Great link, H.L. Sheppard. The origin of the term "espresso" was very interesting. I always thought "expresso" was a mis pronunciation or Westernized version of "espresso". I can even remember cafe's using the word "Expresso" in the 60's. I've been meaning to try Tom's (Sweet Maria's)...

    Espresso and French Press?

    I still haven't used an Ibrik. I was just looking for one recently. As has been noted here already, You should use a fairly coarse grind for Press pot coffee. The screen mesh filter is simply not fine enough to screen out the mud. You can add a nylon fine filter that fits after the metal...

    Persistence-sustained effort necessary to induce faith

    That's NOT reasoning--that's an emotional response. It's a self fulfilling prophecy, actually a neurosis. I see faith more as self delusion created by various fears. jazzbass
