Or it could mean it is not right

I read everything that comes through this list (and others),

even the flirting threads, etc.. Put text in front of my eyes,

and I'm reading the dumb thing. LOL.

 

I reread it for your edification. Just because you wrote it

does not make it so. I propose an alternate interpretation.

>Elchanan: People talk about many things. I stopped listening to most of it

years ago, and I highly recommend this approach. Why?

 

1. All majority opinions are wrong.

 

2. Everyone has an absolute right to hold and express any opinion

imaginable. At the same time, the opinions of 10,000 uninformed people are

of no use to me and can, in fact, be distracting and misleading.

 

3. I find that what enters through my eyes and ears remains in my mind.

Therefore, I'm choosy about what enters.

 

I find it keeps my mind active to sort things through, and find out which is

true. Maybe I have too much time on my hands ;o) or too much mind?

 

>As for varieties of lettuce, just experiment, they may vary across the

seasons. Any tender green will do. For example, if you live near any

forested areas, and you have anyone who can teach you to identify Miner's

Lettuce and the like these would be excellent resources, and fun in the

gathering.

 

Well, I live near the bush, and can identify witchitie grubs (and they're

eaten raw, and alive), but they're white, not green.

 

>Iceberg lettuce has received a bum rap over the years, but this is

underserved. This particular variety is higher in water and therefore lower

in calories and other nutrients than other greens. Therefore, bite-for-bite

it is a less efficient way to gather nutrients. But there is nothing " wrong "

with eating iceberg lettuce.

 

I heard this recently. I like it in summer, because of the extra water.

 

>Bottom line: If a particular green tastes bitter and/or is tough to chew,

that's your clue that it is not a great primary food for our species, and

certainly not for a little one. If you need a blender (or some other

process) just to get it down, then it's just not food for us!

 

Sounds good to me, I like things to be easy to eat.

 

 

Will let you know when I get the headset sorted out )
