Or this [with career wife]?

[These are pretty pictures, click on them to enlarge.]

[Then do f11 for a really large and pretty one]

[Mumble, mumble, I might should have had this been a where am I, but it would be too hard for some of the kids.]

I could have used homes or cars. Or all three. The old saying, "two can live cheaper than one" goes a longer way when the wife is a career woman.

I can't see any disadvantage at all, in fact I love it. Even if career women in the education field don't make a whole lot (as the men don't either--both Mrs. Jim and I were in education).

I have lived both lives, I don't think there is much difference, really.

This guy disagrees:

"Guys: A word of advice. Marry pretty women or ugly ones. Short ones or tall ones. Blondes or brunettes. Just, whatever you do, don't marry a woman with a career. "

The menu for the day was roast beef on whole wheat bread with sliced onions and mustard, roasted corn on the cob, cottage cheese, and a mixed drink (orange/pineapple mixed with Diet Sprite, half and half). Food Food+and+Drink Cooking Recipes Microwave Corn+on+the+cob Corn Photos
Jim 'cooked' this 760 calorie lunch in ten minutes. Mrs. Jim had the same.

***The corny article by Mike Deupree, The Gazette [Cedar Rapids, Iowa] said,

"He's [Garcia] OK, which is good news because those of us who were fans of the Smothers Brothers in the 1960s would feel guilty laughing about it if he weren't.

"But we'd still laugh. One of the songs the comedy/singing duo performed was called "Chocolate." The lyrics:

"Tom: "Oh, I fell into a vat of chocolate. I fell into a vat of chocolate . . ."

"Dick: "What'd you do when you fell into the chocolate?"

"Tom: "I yelled 'Fire!' when I fell into the chocolate."

"Dick (irritated): "Why'd you yell 'Fire!'when you fell into the chocolate?"

""Tom: "I yelled 'Fire!' cause no one would help me if I yelled 'Chocolate!' " Food+and+Drink Humor Life News

"That's the whole thing. It was funny. Maybe you had to hear it. It's on their second album, "The Two Sides of the Smothers Brothers . . . " " [Wikipedia has details (link)]

Back to this one, I never heard that Smothers Brothers CD before, did you?

Adi doesn't dive into Dumpsters because there aren't any around here. She's an old (ten years) hound dog, diving into the garbage isn't beneath her style at all.
.

"Meadows was caught Dumpster diving, though he is neither homeless nor destitute. He considers himself a 'freegan' -- a melding of the words 'free' and 'vegan' -- meaning he tries not to contribute to what he sees as the exploitation of land, resources and animals wrought by commercial production." ***

Or how about Dumpster diving? That was popular in Waco while Karen was in college. It would scare the daylights out of someone out walking at night. Out of the blue Dumpster would pop a diver.

Most of those were hungry themselves, I think. The people in this article were mainly collecting the wasted food for others less fortunate than themselves. A whole lot of them are college students.

Did you ever do anything off-the-wall while you were away at college. Or, for that matter, away period? Freegan Culture Life Food+and+Drink Food Places
Oh yes, now you know what a freegan is.

Well, there was a little Jim trickery here.
