I like Virgin Mary's *more* than Bloody Marys, really can't taste much of a difference between a non-alcoholic margarita and one with alcohol. In fact, I really don't a fig abouu alcojol in any liquer - it is *honestly* all about taste. Wine is different, non-alocholic wine tastes bloody aweful. Yowie |

From a friend who was a newspaper typesetter, I learned that it was quite common, in the US, to have deaf Linotype operators -- it was considered an advantage for the high noise environment of those machines. Hearing typesetters were generally not accepted until they had at least working sign language fluency. Was this the case in other countries? Not as far as I know, at least concerning Finland, but then again I was around 10-12 years old when my mom worked for that company. I only remember her complaining about the noise. -- Christine in Vantaa, Finland christal63 (at) yahoo (dot) com photos: http://photos.yahoo.com/christal63 |

What an interesting thread. We have so many intelligent, talented folks
in this newsgroup. I've just been lurking for a long time, not able to post like I used to, but here's my story. I have a degree in Voice Performance with a specialty of opera. I work as a purchasing agent for a small office supply company, have had a a job as a soprano soloist for a Baptist church in Baltimore for many years and I sing with the Baltimore opera. I also have a real estate business in which I buy houses, rehab them and sell them. I am slave to two sisters, Xena and Callisto, and I'm exhausted. :) Jennie polonca12000 wrote: Mostly secretarial work. Best wishes, |
I'm a freelance proofreader/copyeditor; this Wednesday, January 19th, I
will be celebrating the ninth anniversary of owning my own business. My office is in my house, so I get to see my feline masters frequently throughout the day. They're very helpful, too; if I lose track of the time and it gets too close to 6 p.m., Kyle will play patty-paws on the office door until I stop working and come dish up dinner.

The best one I've ever had was Orlando Lawson's Padathaway Shiraz (1989) but on the same token, it was AUS$90 per bottle (worth every cent!), but for plain old value for money, we like McGuigins's "Black Label Red" for general everyday use. Yowie The best "budget" red I've had (that I can remember the name of!) is a Wirra Wirra Church Block Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot blend. A South Australian wine. I think it was a mid-90s year. At the time it was about $25 (Australian) / bottle and was just lovely. I've never had really expensive red wine, but I once had a taste of some Dom Perignon champagne and thought it was *faaabulous*! At the moment, being summer, Dave and I are enjoying a Moondah Brooke Verdelho (dry white wine) from Western Australia. At $14/bottle and a very enjoyable drop, we decided to get a case so that we wouldn't have to keep going back to the bottle o'. Tish |
